Good mornig everyone!
Just wanted to pass this message onto all of you. I know some of the
families living in both Wells and Blackford Counties moved on to Lincoln
County, KS, in the 1870s, so someone might hit pay-dirt.
Happy Hunting!!!
Karen

Thanks again, Tonya, for the submissions. Tonya has gotten permission to
excerpt a book by Marge Lawson called "Honoring Our Heritage," a history
of Sylvan Grove, and is typing in selected portions to put on the
Lincoln County page. This is a tremendous boon to the page and I am very
grateful!
