NEWSPAPER CLIPS FROM OLD ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA NEWSPAPERS

     The following information was transcribed from microfilmed records of 
the local Rockingham County, Virginia newspapers:  The Rockingham Register, 
The Harrisonburg Daily News, and The Daily-News Record, Harrisonburg, 
Virginia.  This transcription includes excerpts from scattered issues for
the years 1822-1914.  Not all years are complete.  If you would like to go
straight to the news clips, skip the background and scroll directly to the
EARMAN surname. 

BACKGROUND

     The Rockingham Register (also called the Rockingham Register and 
Virginia Advertiser) began publication in 1822.  Very few of the earliest 
issues of this newspaper from 1822-1865 have survived.  For example, only
one issue (October 5, 1822) is available for the entire year 1822.
     There is a more complete collection of microfilmed issues of the 
Rockingham Register available at the Library of Virginia for the years
1866-1904, with a few scattered missing issues.  
     The Harrisonburg Daily News began publication in about 1904.  It was 
published under the name The Harrisonburg Daily News until June 3, 1913.  
On June 4, 1913 the name was changed to The Daily News-Record.  The Daily
News-Record is still in publication today.  
     This transcription probably does not include every reference to all of 
the EARMANS mentioned in the newspapers.  Some of the microfilm is of poor
quality and not easy to read, and I'm sure I probably missed a few entries. 
Every effort was made to transcribe the records accurately.  However, if you
think an error has been made, please contact me so that I may double check
my notes, or you may wish to check the original source for yourself.

Harrisonburg, Rockingham county, Va., aged 54 years and 14 days.
The above announcement, which we clip from the New Orleans "Cresent," of the
15th inst., will fill the hearts of MR. ERMON'S friends in Virginia with
peculiar sadness.  He removed to the city of his adoption some years ago, a
very poor, friendless and comparatively uneducated boy;  but by active 
energy, sagacity and toil he became a man of property, and stood as a man
amongst men in that great city of the South.  "Life's fitful fever,"
however, "is over," with him now, and "he sleeps well," where he had so
successfully toiled to accumulate the riches that perish in their using.  He
leaves many friends in the city of his adoption as well as in Virginia to 
mourn over their great bereavement.

Wednesday, June 6, 1906:  Friedens Sunday School.  Second Paper on one of
Rockingham County's Historic Religious Organizations.  In any other paper, 
it should have been stated, after saying, "there were six superintendents,
two of whom were expected to be present every Sunday," that about half the
time there were no superintendents present, and no school, and then we are
not surprised that it was short-lived.  Then too, it was moved from Roller's,
to Fairview school-house, not Friedens.  PETER MILLER and P.F. EARMAN were
the superintendents, and W.S. SLUSSER secretary.  The school was largely
managed by these until 1858, when PETER MILLER entered the ministry and 
removed from the county.  P.F. EARMAN continued the school until the
beginning of the war in the spring of 1861. During the war period there was
no school, and not for several years after the war was there an effort made
in that direction.....In the spring of 1867 a school was again organized at
Friedens.  REV. STANLEY, a member of the U.B. Church was elected
superintendent.....

Tuesday, November 26, 1907:  Parents Fight For Child.  MR. and MRS. HARVEY
EARMAN Cause Street Scene.  Not Living Together, They Contend for Custody of
Infant Daughter, and Mother Wins.  The custody of LILLY EARMAN, the 4 year 
old daughter of MR. and MRS. HARVEY EARMAN, who are living apart, was the
prize for which the parents of the little one contended yesterday in a 
struggle on the street.  The affair occurred on East Market street, only a
few steps from Wise's corner, and quickly drew to the spot half a hundred
spectators.  Since the separation of the parents the child has been in the
possession of her mother, who is now living in Harrisonburg.  Yesterday MR.
EARMAN who is seriously broken in health as a result of pulmonary trouble
arrived here from the Keezletown neighborhood where he is....(several words
unreadable)....the north of town, where his wife is living and in some way
secured possession of the child which he placed in a wagon in an effort to
carry her to the country.  Before the man could get out of town, however,
his wife overtook him and a battle royal ensued.  The woman climbed into the
great farm wagon, where she snatched up her child, after which she made an
effort to reach the ground with it.  But before the wife could get out of
the wagon the man seized the child by one arem and held on fast.  While the
parents were both struggling, with little apparent advantage on either side,
the woman received reinforcements in the way of two of her little sons, who
came to her aid with all their might.  They were met at once, however, by a
third son, somewhat larger than themselves, who championed the cause of his
father, with whom he has remained ever since the separation of the couple.
The battle was a draw until MRS. EARMAN'S mother arrived on the scene and 
took a hand in behalf of her daughter, when the terrified little girl was
torn from the father.  The appearance of a policeman on the scene put an end
to further hostilities.
