Thank you, Rich and Connie, for your replies. Comparing your information, it could be that the Newton CANTRIL in the photograph is the son of L.W. CANTRIL, founder of the town by that name. Rich, do you know whether the town of Cantril is in Jackson Township? Thanks again for your help -- it is a good lead. -- Jeff ______________________ On Mon, 26 Mar 2001 06:13:01 -0600 Rich Lowe <richlowe@web-iowa.com> writes: > Found in the 1878 Jackson township Biographies, a bio. on L.
