What a day! Two weeks ago I couldn't go to the library to transcribe any of the biographies from the 1915 History of Decatur County, Iowa because they were tearing up the carpet and putting down new carpet. Last week I couldn't go because my sister's notebook computer, which I use to transcribe with, had to go in for repairs. I finally made it there today. I transcribed for four hours, came home and I couldn't get any of the files to come up on my computer from the cd I had saved them to. I tried everything I knew to do for about an hour and then I called my computer whiz of a sister and took the cd to her and she managed to save all but one biography. I told her that I love her more today then I ever have before! LOL! Anyway, there are ten new biographies now on the 1915 History Biographies Page including: Andrew C. Brown John Clark Charles W. Dillon Charles F. Fierce E. W. Fierce J. M. Hollinger Warren J. Latta Henry W. Sparling Thomas A. Sutherlin John Thomas You can find them at this link: _www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1915.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1915.html) Hope those of you who requested one of these biographies find all of the information you were hoping for! Fayette Township Pages of the 1885 Iowa State Census coming sometime later this week. Stacey Dietiker momdit@aol.com Decatur Co IA List Administrator Decatur Co IA Website Coordinator

Thanks, Stacey, for all of your hard work in transcribing and posting these Biographies. Most of us wouldn't get to see them without your help. I am very appreciative. Also, I am very excited about the Bios on this list, especially that of John Thomas my gggrandfather. Donna Wyoming
