Today’s newspaper clippings are very sad. They’re about Ada Jones. In January 1922 she almost froze to death in the mountains. And an April 1922 ad for her appearance at the Dixie Theatre in North Carolina the night she passed away. So sad to see she escaped fate only to meet it a few months later.

As I look at these articles, I wonder if any the machines in all the photos I’ve shown are now in our collections?
