Books that contain biographical and historical information on Kosciusko
County people include those noted below. I have seen the Lewis, Kingman
Bros and Bowen books on microfilm as well as in book form. If you are near
a Family History Center (FHC) they may have or may be able to get these
books/films. Major libraries with good genealogy sections may also have
them. The Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN has all of these
books. Your local library may also be able to get a copy through the
inter-library loan programs.
In the 1930's the WPA created an Index of ALL of the individual names in
the Lewis, Kingman Bros, Bowen and Royce books. This large index can be
found in the open stacks at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne.
There is a listing of other books available on Kosciusko County on the
USGenWeb site.

Reply to Jackie Nobles:
If you don't live in or near the county of Kosciusko, where and how would
you get someone to look up the information in the histories you mention? I
am looking for Dawson, Losure/Lozier, Shields, Jarrett, Kelly, Isham and
Huff.
Thanks,
