Bonnie,
A cousin of mine found the MF Owen Scrapbooks at the Kendalville
Library. There are 39 volumes of newspaper clippings. They have been
alphabetized. She was able to find a lot of information about our Pierson family who
were there from the 1830's through at least the early 1900's. She said
that there were also copies at the Rome City Library. Happy hunting.

I need some advice, please.
We will be literally passing through Noble county in the next week...I'll
only have a couple of hours at best (before the significant other's eyes
roll back in his head with boredom) to search for some info on my
VANDERBOSCH and STOECKLEY clans from Avilla/Kendallville/Ege areas. I've been to
the cemetery (St. Mary's), so other than a quick stop there to pay respects,
we can move on to other venues...where do I go??? Public Library in
Avilla? Garrett? Auburn? Catholic Church in Avilla?
Timeframe the clan was there is 1860's thru probably 1910's (though, yes,
I believe some distant relatives are still in the area today)
Any suggestions on where I might best use my time, open hours? I'm happy
to hear your suggestions. (I'm also willing to share some info with the
local repositories, if they're interested...have a very few photos, lots of
documented data).
Thanks.
Bonnie
