Update: The Iowa Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers Association does not list a B&B in Chariton as of today (10/17/2004). However there are member B&B's in ALBIA (28 miles), LEON (40 miles), PELLA (38 miles) and, of course, Indianola (33 miles), all an easy and scenic 45-minute drive away. http://www.iowainns.com/ And let me add my kudos for the Lucas County Genealgical Society volunteers. They do a wonderful job especially for working out of a matchbox of a location, but that is another issue. Dick Kinkead Lantana, FL
