>It includes information about the county from its formation in 1800 to
>1885.

>There are sections on the history of each township, including names of

>There is a biographical section. The biographies can vary from just a

>have your bio. included in the book. Obviously, then, the bios cover only
>a tiny fraction of the population of the county. And, since they were
>submitted by people living here in 1885 when the book was published, it
>rarely includes detailed information about people who moved on early in the
>county's history.

>There is an every-name index, which was not original to the book.
>
>Reprints are still available, I believe, from the county historical
>society.
