Vevay Thanksgiving April 1863 Closings

The following article about business in Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana, appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 30 April 1863 – Page 3, Column 3

It will be seen from the following agreement that our business houses will be closed to-day, which is eminently proper and just:
