Tidbits of Treasures Tumble from "Twice Told Tales" - From the Harrison County News Herald - April 24, 1980, by John Campbell -Tuscarawas County's Mears Cemetery

 The Mears Cemetery is indeed located in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. This newsworthy tidbit about it though comes from the "Harrison News Herald" in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, on April 24, 1980. 

Featured in the "County Seat Mirror" by John Campbell are the "Twice Told Tales".  Arranged as a date-by-date listing of "treasured tidbits" that otherwise just might not be re-published for a new and larger audience, we can read them as an unfolding history. 

Here we find short paragraphs that can contain key answers to a researcher's lingering questions.  

Of note in the last two paragraphs is the focus shift to the stonecutter J. W. Glasgow.
