I constantly search through old newspapers for any mention of my ancestral surnames.  When both Bennett and Featherstone turned up in the same article, I couldn’t resist reading about these two Chicago robbers.   Neither of the fellows are ‘mine’ but the story of their robbery still engages my interest in reading about them.
