Nancy,
I did not see Jacob Abrell's name on this listing. Perhaps the booklet
inadvertently omitted the name or perhaps Abrell served in some capacity
another year. The information I have noted is an accurate transcription
of the information in the booklet EXCEPT for text inside of parenthesis
that is mine. In checking the information following your response,
however, I discovered that I copied page 131 in addition to page 130. I
have noted the additional information below.

Perhaps, under Lafayette Township there is a typo:
Jacob Abrell?
Thanks for the listing.
