Notes |
- Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Feb 10 1916, in its entirety:
"From Eaton, Colorado, we recently received a nice, encouraging letter from an old Doddridge boy, N. G. Waldo. Like all the Waldos we've ever known, he's a true blue Republican -- and a good, prompt paying patron."
