Mempoirs of Wayne - chapter 5 page 60
JOHN BEARD came to this country from North Carolina in October of 1806 .
FOUTZ came with him from Germantown , Ohio . They had to come through the woods
without any knowledge of the correctness of thier course , except thier
suppostion as to the location of the Whitewater country . . They built a cabin &
returned for their families . BEARDS daughter JANE was the first white child
that died in this country in 1807 . Dr Sackett the first physician came in 1808
. There is said to have been a fatal maglinant fever prevailing along the
East Fork about this time .
NOTE - to the lady who asked about buying this book. -- I have never seen
this book for sale before now . The one I have is falling apart & I have to
be very careful with it . There is no writting left on the binding to see who
published it . All I know is tht it is about --> Wayne County , Indiana
History [ dated ] 1911
I look for old books to add to my personal library . Some are just so
expensive they are out of my price range . I had my eye on a book of old confederate
soldiers with pictures but the lowest price was $800.00 from a bookseller in
Memphis . That is way to expensive for me .
