That is a difficult question to answer. The articles were written about events that
either happened a long time ago or were contemporary to the date of the paper. I guess
an all-inclusive answer would be there is history from the beginning of the county to
events of the 1980's.

For those of you who enjoyed "Pioneers of Morgan County" by Noah
Major, get
ready to be excited again!
Some of you may know of former county historian Becky Hardin,
now deceased,
and her work over many years to acquire and share Morgan County
History.
Becky, with the help of others, put together two Morgan County
Scrapbooks, Vol I
and II. Each is a compilation of information on the county.
Scrapbook I
has been reprinted for some years and is available through
Morgan County
History and Genealogy Association. You can go to the MCHGA web
page for that
information.
There has been a lot of interest in getting Scrapbook II
reprinted. Becky
Hardin's family was willing for MCHGA to republish this work,
originally
published in 1989. It is hot off the presses, an 8 1/2" by 11"
soft cover book of
512 pages done in "perfect" binding, which means book type
binding.
Contents include sections on schools, churches, lodges, other
organizations, each
township, and miscellaneous and name/place index. Most
information was
extracted by Becky Hardin and others from Morgan County
newspapers. There are many
pictures of Morgan County groups and places.
The miscellaneous category includes information circa 1940 about
known
cemeteries, schools, and churches. There are some bits of local
history and
defunct newspapers, and best of all.....a name and place index.
This information is now on the MCHGA website. You can go there
to download
an order form. Notice that tax is paid only by Indiana
residents. The
pricing structure is favorable to members.
Besides some great meetings, quarterly newsletters come with the
membership,
including articles on Morgan County families and places. More
information
about membership can be obtained on the website.
We hope there is value in this book for many listers. It
includes much
compiled information that could be useful in family research.
The index goes
from page 466 to page 507.
I hope there's information there for each of you.

Morgan Co History and Geneaology Association
