Hello,
For those interested, If you call the Ball State University Archives the number is...
(765) 285-5078, ask for John Straw or Michael Twigg. I just talked to Michael Twigg
about ten minutes ago, and he was very helpful and very friendly. They also carry
marriage records from 1826 - ? Probate Records, and old criminal records, etc... I
don't believe there is any charge for this, because he took my phone number and
offered
to call me back with the information i requested.

I was in the Delaware Court Court House Mon July 12, and asked in
the County Clerks office where I might be able to find out if there was
a will for a man who died in 1880 just before death reporting was
established in 1882.
They (the Clerks Office Folks) referred me to Ball State University
Archives at Archives and Special Collections Bracken Library as those
folks somehow acquired many of those old documents.
Shawn didn't explain his answer, but since the guy wanted an old
deed, he really didn't want the court house...but rather where his
old deed might be.
Just my 2¢ worth.
