WINDSOR TOWNSHIP NOTES
***
IRONTON REGISTER, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1896

• Windsor went republican Monday by the usual majority. L. A. Dawson was elected trustee by a good majority.
• Perkins Ridge church has had a grand revival, conducted by Rev. Burnett. There were eight accessions to the church. This is the church in which they so recently had such a war, but everything went off smoothly during the meetings. The members all came in, after a few days of the meetings, made friends, and all is peace and good will. The people of the neighborhood feel very thankful to Rev. Burnett for his good work.
• Thomas Capper is the proudest man on the ridge, because of a new daughter. Tom smokes stogies now part of the time instead of smoking a pipe all the time. X.
