Today you'll find six new biographies added to the 1915 History Bios Page including: Frank E. Chastain, John M. Chastain, Sr., Heman C. Smith, James F. Harvey, Oliver W. Foxworthy M.D. and Walter G. Badham. You can find these at: _www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1915.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1915.html) Even if you aren't related to these people you might want to read some of these biographies. They include many details of the development of Decatur County and there are many other surnames detailed in each biography. Usually the parents of the subject and the maternal and paternal grandparents and also the wife and both of her parents family history are included. Heman C. Smith is by far the best biography I've transcribed so far from this book for including a wealth of information! We also have a new biography for Ladislas/Ladislans Madarasz on the 1887 Bios Page courtesy of Christy Jay: _www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1887.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/bioDocs/BIO1887.html) And we have a new photo postcard of Pleasanton on the Pleasanton Town History Page courtesy of Beverly. _www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/earlydecDocs/Pleasanton.html_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadecatu/earlydecDocs/Pleasanton.html) Stacey Dietiker momdit@aol.com Decatur Co IA List Administrator Decatur Co IA Website Coordinator
