"emacke",
I have photographs on my Boone County Genealogy, INGenWeb website of Jefferson Twp. School
that is located in Dover, Jefferson Twp., Boone County. The school is no longer in use,
and looks to be in very poor condition, per the photos.
There are minutes online (
http://www.boonecounty.in.gov/commissioners) from a January 9,
2006 meeting of the Boone County Board of Commissioners, where they discussed a need to
make decisions for the future of the "old Dover School house" due to its
deteriorated condition. I don't live in the area, so I'm not sure ... Is this the
same school? Perhaps a local resident can shed more light on this for us.
Before you donate Elva Carter's autograph book to one of the libraries ... which I
agree is hopefully the perfect home for it and a very generous act of genealogical
kindness, I would like to request that you also consider contributing a digital copy of
the pages that I can post on the Boone County Genealogy website. Of course if you would
prefer, you could also just submit a transcription of the pages. This would benefit
thousands of Boone County researchers who visit the website yearly. Currently there are
various forms of data on the website for the family surnames you've mentioned in your
post.
I hope some of this helped you in your quest!
