Bossum Ridge Map
Bossom Ridge -- at first we thought this was Possum Ridge but they are not the same place, Possum Ridge being five or so miles to the north of this place. Jerry Turner found this one in the Crawfordsville Star 8-4-1881 -- various items in the article under "Bossom Ridge" are: Ice cream flowed in copious streams at RR Whittington on July 20th. Mollie Reynolds has charge of a loom at Canine & Deer's Woolen Mills. Dug Haynes & wife were guests of RL Whitting & wife, Sunday July 17. Mattie Whitting and Pollie Miles were guests of Ellen Whittington July 23. There was 122 persons dined at Pine Hills Sunday July 24. The party now encamped at Pine Hills visited Shades of Death Saturday June 23. Thomas Miles and wife, Lewis Reynolds and wife and Uncle Goerge Miles took in the Pine Hills, Sunday July 24. The corn on the uplands bids fair for an average crop while the corn in the Sugar Creek bottoms will be past average. The prospect for a good potato crop bids fair if not molested by the vile bugs. Bossom Ridge would be in the Pine Hills area.
