Thank you Dave. I appreciate very much the information you sent. I have
the obituary information about my gr-gr-grandfather, Solomon Custer. I was
hoping to get a copy of the article that was probably in the Palladium or
some other Richmond paper about my gr-gr- uncle Jacob Custer 1812-1903 . I
don't remember the title of the article but it concerned the longevity of
two men of Wayne Co.
I am also interested in any information concerning Jacob's daughter, Ella
Custer, postmistress of Dublin, Wayne, IN. She died in 1930.
Thanks for any help.

May years ago I visited the library in Richmond to search for information on
my Custer ancestors who mostly lived in Jackson Twp/Dublin, Wayne Co, IN. I
found several obituaries and an interesting article about Jacob Custer, a
brother of my gr-gr-grandfather Solomon Custer. I made copies of the
information and article on the one computer/ copy machine??. The copy of
the article was of very poor quality and I always meant to return to try to
get a better copy but the years went by, we moved to Florida and my vision
has slowly become worse. So I would be very grateful if there is a chance
someone could find the article about Jacob Custer written about him when he
was quite elderly.
I am also interested in any articles about his daughter Ella Custer who was
a postmistress of Dublin, Wayne, IN sometime in the late 1800's into the
early 1900's. I believe she died about 1930. I would also really
appreciate any pictures of her, also.
Hello ALL,
The picture on the cover is my 3rd Great-Grandfather (I use that picture
as my background on my laptop). I live in Richmond, Wayne, IN and am very
active in Genealogy. If anyone needs anything either from me or from Wayne
County, please contact me. I love to share and to assist other researchers.
Thanks,
Dave Sloan

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the link to the history for Wayne County. This information seems
to be an OCR version that wasn't edited. I also found another link that is
much better at
http://archive.org/stream/historyofwayneco00inyoun#page/n7/mode/2up
I will post links to these pages on the History index page of the web site.
Darlene
