Undated news clipping, possibly Alexandria, Indiana Times-Tribune
Bill Wright, employee of the post office, was telling the folks back home this week about the "ones that got away" while on his vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Wright were fishing at Tippecanoe lake last Saturday night and had a string of six fish tied on the back of the boat. The boat drifted into some weeds and the fish became tangled in the weeds and broke loose.
Among the catch was the largest fish ever caught by Mrs. Wright, a one and one-fourth pound crappie.
That's the story!

What a fun find! A 1 1/2 pound crappie is a good size! I wonder how often they went fishing together.
I love finding blips about my ancestors in the old papers...so neat to fill in the dash.
