The Shew Collection:
In 2017, nearly eight
hundred issues of the Lincoln Herald from 1873-1882, 1884, 1889,
1894, 1895, were found in the attic of a building that was once
their
jewelry store. The Shew family was gracious enough to donate the
papers to LCGHS. That started a five-year journey to humidify,
sanitize, flatten, clean, digitize & index the papers. This
project will be complete by the fifth anniversary of the
donation in November 2022. Many of the stories found in the
Societys quarterly, Roots &
Branches, are coming from this
collection. The most recent being the series of articles telling
the story of the history & development of the Union Cemetery at
Lincoln, IL, - in the Spring Issue of 2022.
A comprehensive
index
is provided for each
year. These indexes are provided on
a free-access page (go

0 Regan
Collection digitized with Index:
The Regan Collection is a set of 36
binders of newspaper clippings covering the years 1859 to about
1912. It was compiled by John Regan, a retired attorney from
Decatur, IL. This portion of his collection covers many of the
Logan County Newspapers. It contains a wealth of information.
Mr. Regan passed away in 2020 at the age of 109. This collection
was digitized & indexed by Bill Donath, volunteer
for the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society. This
collection has two levels of index. There is an index showing
which volumes in which a given name is referenced. Once that is
determined, opening the proper volume leads to an index that
gives the page numbers on which a given name occurs. Some of the
volumes have as many as 500 pages.

Lincoln Herald
Lincoln, Illinois
Index 1858 - 1869
Index 1870 - 1873
Index 1917 - 1920
... This
collection was compiled by Bill Donath. These indexes were
completed over several years from the microfilm copies of
the Lincoln Herald. Not all the years are represented, but
this is an every-name index for the existing issues. The
newspapers referenced in this index are not digitized. The
researcher will need to contact LCGHS to have a volunteer
access the microfilm. The index has been constructed to
include the name of the person, issue date, page number,
column number, & article title.
This, we hope, will speed up the process to find what you
are looking for.

He worked on the project by getting microfilm from the
Lincoln Presidential Library at Springfield, IL, through
interlibrary loan. He had to stop when the ALPL stopped
participating in the Library loan service. In the index
you will find that Bill has columns for Date of Issue,
Name of Deceased, Date of Death, and Parents & Spouse,
if the information is available in the obituary.
