Notes:

. 1899 - When I was a small boy newspapers, were not common. After I began to road, J. W, Osborne* started a newspaper at Greencastle, called The Western Plough Boy. It was a 6 column paper & was printed & published "every Friday by J. W. Osborne. Osborne was the [grand] uncle of Julia Hough Jones, wife of Peter A. Jones. The Western Ploughboy was the first newspaper in Putnam County, Indiana.
For a long time I read his name Big W. Osborne. It seemed to me that the subscriber & the undersigned had more business than one else, except Mr. Co. who monopolized a good part of the paper in advertising. When I was about 8 years old [c. 1836] I went to the printing office to see them print & Mr. Osborne explained how was done.
The writer is Mastin H Jones was born in a log cabin near Greencastle in Putnam County, Indiana, January 7, 1828. His father was Benjamin Jones, who was born in Queen's County, Maryland, about 1779.
