The Pettit Correspondent
The following articles are plain-text copies from the original journal. Some are moderately HTML-ized. I've scanned only the very first article, The Oldest Woman in the County: Mrs. Hearing is Ninety-Six Years of Age.
Except where noted, articles were compiled, edited and written by Michael Cooley. See The Pettit Page for more information.
