How about some old news stories? I find news clippings a lot of fun as they were very much gossip and opinion pieces and I learn a lot from that. You almost begin to feel like you know everyone and what they were up to last week. These are a collection of only a few of the Honeyville news stories that I have pulled from old newspaper archives.
Let's begin with the fun stuff - news with a little opinion.
Cool - let's hash it out in the paper under pen names (Brigham Bugler - March 1892) |
Brigham Bugler - June 1892 |
It's for the children (Brigham Bugler - October 1891) |
It's for the children pt.2 (Brigham Bugler - November 1891) |
Footloose - I hear Kevin Bacon was one of those despondent children (Brigham Bugler - January 1892) |
I think it is funny how the old papers went from news to ads to ads disguised as news and right back in to the news - and so seamlessly.
Hey, Honeyville has a new store - why not check out these other fine merchants (Brigham Bugler - July 1893) |
Getting a post office was controversial (now they want to take)?
It's coming (Box Elder News Journal - June 1915) |
And it's here - they moved faster then (Box Elder News Journal - August 1915) |
Just plain old local happenings.
Brigham Bugler - December 1893 |
Box Elder News Journal - August 1910 |
Box Elder News Journal - November 1916 |
Box Elder News Journal - July 1920 |
Brigham Bugler - December 1891 |
Honeyville even got some mention in other newspapers.
Ogden Standard Examiner - June 1917 |

P.O.W. in them thar hills (Davis County Clipper - August 1943) |
