Read More	Each weekend Molly Claus Short sits down in her old rocking chair in her home at Albion, props a pad of paper upon her knee and writes up the happenings of the week, the sad and the humorous, the good and the bad news about her neighbors. Each Monday she mails her newsletter to the Gazette-Commoner. For 51 years she has been mailing in Whitman county news to this paper and most of the time it has come from Albion. Through the window at her right, she can look across the quiet fields and homes of Albion “folks” who know her best as Aunt Molly. She not only has chronicled their births, deaths, marriages, comings, and goings for more than half a century, but she also officiated as a justice of the peace for 18 years, beginning when her name was written in on the ballot in 1923. A time or two she paid the filing fee and had her name on the ballot, but in later years neighbors continued her in office by merely writing in her name.
