Alma Lewis James went through the old Blade newspaper archives and pulled out little tidbits of information. These were assembled into PDF files by date range.

If there is a date associated with the tidbit, it is very likely that it came from the Blade and one can search the old Blades and verify the information.

If there is no date associated with a tidbit, it is likely just a story told to her by her family or friends, and that tidbit may or may not be true.
