NEGenWeb Project
Resource Center
Sept 1999 - Bill Wever has launched a terrific effort to get this gazetteer
DONE
in anticipation that we will be busy with another large project that is beginning
soon.
Oct 1999 - Farmer's lists for 10 counties are left to do, each has a volunteer.
The towns (business lists) of Cass County are left to do (volunteer is working
on them).
June 2000 - Down to 3 county farmer's lists and a couple towns that aren't
finished!
Bill & his wife have typed many of the towns, and funded many of the
copies mailed out to other typists.
THANKS, BILL & NORMA WEVER!
List of VOLUNTEERS that have made this project possible.
We greatly appreciate the typing provided by a number
of volunteers from the NE Heritage list.
You have made a major contribution to the data on-line for NEGenWeb Project.
To viewers - there are undoubtably many typos in the original
gazetteer pages. All those who typed know how worn the book
was before it was microfilmed. Many of the listings are NOT entirely in alphabetical
order. That's simply the way it was!
There were counties not yet formed. There is at least one "new" county that
the publisher was not aware existed.
The farmers list for one county did not appear in the book - at least not
in the book that survived.
Some towns have a lengthy list of inhabitants, and others simply give a population
estimate.
The punctuation was minimal to non-existent. The presentation varies because
many volunteers were involved.
In the original, the farmers lists are several columns to a page, and the
businesses 2 columns per page.
At least one county linked from this directory / index page appears as images
on the net.
We hope to add all the advertisements, someday.
