I was in Owen co. a few years ago and the Courthouse staff was also great.
Loved the library!

Nancy,
We live in Urbana, Illinois and have access to good archives at the Urbana
Free Library. They are supported by the genealogical society and have a
great collection beyond our county and access to the Internet with library
version of
Ancestry.com and lots of other help to research. If your Illinois
travels bring you here, call and let me know.
If not, and you have some Illinois research that I could help with, drop me
a line.
In Owen County you will find the Owen County Library in downtown Spencer,
Indiana, with an extensive collection of Owen County materials and good
staff. They have good maps of the cemeteries with directions. Laura
Wilkerson is very helpful.
The motel is comfortable and pleasant.
Happy hunting.
Nancy & Walter Scott

I will be coming to Owen County in May from TX and would welcome suggestions
of
places to research and things to see. My grandfather, John Jacob Welty was
born
in Morgan County and lived in Owen County from 1870 through 1880. In 1900
he is
in Illinois.
