To continue to sing the praises of the Lucas County Genealogical Society, Darlene Arnold now has placed CD versions of her newspaper index in both the Iowa Genealogical Society Library and the State Historical Library across the street (where microfilm copies of all the newspapers also are available). This simplifies research for those who can get to Des Moines, but not down to Chariton, although there's nothing quite like research in the community where all of these events we're interested in occurred.
