used to come over from Stow, once a week, to return those which he had taken

John A. Punshon from Lantzville, British Columbia, Canada wrote:
“I am researching my ancestor, Rev. William Morley Punshon, and his in-laws,
the Reynars of Cobourg, Ontario. My thanks to the builders of OFCA, both for
the speed of OFCA and for the invaluable information this system provides!

From The Arkansas City Republican, January 3, 1885.
J.H. Punshon’s stock of furniture was taken possession of by the sheriff the
first of the week. It came about through the combined forces of several
unfortunate circumstances. His security on a $1,000 note was the principal one.
Mr. Punshon thinks he has assets which will about equal his liabilities.
The REPUBLICAN is sorry this catastrophe came on Mr. Punshon. He is a good
citizen and deserved better fate.
LATER. Mr. Punshon has settled his accounts in full and once more has possession
of his furniture store. Next week his advertisement will appear in the
REPUBLICAN. He means business now and will make the "fur fly on furniture,"
in the future.

I need full dates, full names where only initials are shown and
details of parents. The confusion lies in the fact that there are so
many events for people with the same or similar names.
I probably have details of any offspring.
