Newspaper Research! Dr. Joseph T. Breneman Buys A New Car!
I love researching in old newspapers!
Just like Forrest Gump said in the movie, “You never know what you might find!”
You can get a glimpse into your ancestor’s lives, learn who their friends were, what they did on vacation, and sometimes, when the local doctor buys a new car, it makes the news!!

Dr. Joseph T. Breneman, of the Breneman Hospital, Purchases a New Car. Oakland Tribune, 12 June 1907; page 45.
Dr. Joseph T. Breneman lived and practiced in Wellington, Kansas. His parents, Christian and Mary Breneman, lived in Wellington near him.
His brother, Constantine, a Civil War veteran, lived in the Mayfield and Milan area, and worked with his son, Otto, as a blacksmith in Mayfield.
