I recently found a "Standard Atlas of Holmes County" Compiled by A.J.
Stiffler in 1907. It is a very large book measuring about 2 feet wide and
about 16-18 Inches high with over 125 pages, It includes individual maps of
each township with owner names listed and biographical sketches and photos of
many prominent citizens.
One featured is a Samuel T Jones born at Millersburg July 4, 1876, son of
William H Jones and Elvira V. Miller..
There are litterally hundres of photos of individuals farms and families, as
well as important buildings.
It has considerable history of the Swiss settlers in the area and some
relationships to Ashland county.
This book is FALLING APART AS FAR AS THE BINDING IS CONCERNED BUT EVERY PAGE
IS THERE AND HAS CLEAR PRINTING AND PICTURES (SCUSE CAPS)
If anybody knows anything about the scarcity or value of thes volume please
let me know so i can consider having it re-bound and refurbished.
