Does anyone know of such for Minnesota?
At present I'm looking for the county New Paynesville (mentioned as
being in
existance in 1897) was located. I know that Paynesville was/is in
Stearns
County but have found no direct mention of New Paynesville being in
the same
county.
Tim,
In 1896, New Paynesville consisted of 200 acres that lie adjacent to
Paynesville. If you're seeking even more information, I could probably
scrounge something up, but New Paynesville was a town that existed in
Stearns County at one time.
I don't know of a site that contains a listing for the the state, but
this is available for Stearns.
