Sorry guys, I had a small catastrophe the other night. I was getting up
to gather up the books and spilled pop all over my key board....errrrr.
Stopped and picked up a new one after work today. What I was going to
put on e-bay are cemetery books from Mclean Co. I just bought them a
month or 2 ago, and got what info I needed. I can't see having them
sit around gathering dust when someone else could use them. I just
would like to get what I payed for them. All the books have paper
covers, and are pretty worn, but everything is easy and clear to read.
They were originally used in the library, and have the normal library
type stickers on them. These aren't indexes. I'm not positive if they
were transcribed from records or the headstones, but either way they
give you the full information, name, dates, (and other info here and
their).
