David, I am hopeful that you will continue to post these reciprocal messages
between you and Edgar regarding Hardin County boundaries, and any other
historical data concerning same. Anyone interested enough in Hardin County
to subscribe to the mailing list would certainly benefit from the
information contained in the messages. Thanks a bunch!
