This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it
just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not
researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore
about these families or these surnames. I don't know if there is any
additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want
to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it.

Surnames in this biography are: WELTY, Wart, Hanthorne,
