Reflections on George Tousey's role in the construction of the courthouse. Text of the article is as follows: "Fond memories came into the mind of George Towsey, age 82, colored, 1269 Lane Street, when he visited the courthouse recently. The reason: he was employed in the construction of the building just 40 years ago. He displayed his prized 'pocket-piece,' a $1 bill of the Bank of Tekamah, Ky., which was issued in 1811, he said. Printing on the bill which Towsey declared was once termed 'wildcat money' has become dim with the fading of the ink and the wear to which it has been subjected. 'At home I have two whisky bottles once owned by Daniel Boone,' Towsey said."
