Nikki, there are a few items at the museum as far as tax returns and such,
why don't you e-mail and see what years are covered there. Other old tax
items were stored at the county infirmary at least until it was closed down
last year. I could not get anyone from the courthouse to take there to let
me look for a business that supposed to of been opened in 1928. I don't
know where they are stored now, and according to those in power at the
courthouse you have to be accompanied by the custodian/grounds keeper, and
he's far too busy mowing to mess with me.
But the museum just might have something. They use to tax a person for
their livestock to help pay for roads and ditches in the earliest of days, I
know that there is at least one of those books there, but I don't remember
what year.
Go through the website and e-mail the museum. (Not the webmaster, that's
me)
