I had an interesting experience recently. I went to ebay and searched for Carroll Co.,
Indiana. The one and only listing was for a Centennial Celebration book for Flora, Carroll
Co., 1872-1972. The seller was asking $65 for the book. I e-mailed him telling him I was
looking for information on Dr. Grant Wiley (my gg-uncle). The seller replied that Dr.
Wiley appeared in a group photo. I contacted the Carroll Co. Public Library and was
referred to the local utility company which published the book. They sold me a copy for $2
plus $6 shipping (Priority Mail). What a bargain! There are many photos in the book but
many do not have any names listed for the people in the photos. I was happy to find this
source of information and thought I would pass it on to others who may be researching
Carroll Co.
The contact info for the utility co. is:
City of Flora: Flora Utilities
27 W Main St
Flora, IN 46929
(574) 967-4844
Would love to hear from anyone else researching Wileys in Cass, Carroll or Boone Counties.
My gg-grandfather was Samuel W. Wiley of Boone Co. He came to Indiana from Kentucky in
1858 and I am unable to find any record of his parents and/or siblings.
