Subject: [IADECATU] Mercer County School Ledger 1891
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 20:18:26 -0500


This is copied from a School Ledger that was purchased by my Aunt Pat
Osburne Bassett at an estate sale, in the fall of 2002, in Cainsville,
Missouri. My grandfather, Cleo Osborne, was raised in Cainsville (Mercer
County), and his name is on the roll in this book. In another section of
this ledger, his mother, Alcinda Osborn was listed as a student, and
Alcinda's father John Osborn is listed as one of the school directors! This
was quite a find for my family. I have made every effort to copy this
record as it is written. However, some pages are very faint, and the
different years were recorded by different individuals, and some writing is
hard to read. I know that there are errors in this ledger, because on some
of the pages my grandfather was listed as a girl. But I will record it as
written for these records! Hope others find their ancestors listed here.
