I ordered and have received the census records offered by the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society. I mailed my check Monday and they were in the mail Saturday. Not bad! They are the 1880 Census records in two volumes. Not bad for $15. I just had a quick look so I could let you know... I looked for Robert Downing in Mt. Pulaski Township. There he is, age 87, a retired farmer, along with his wife Jane, age 78. [The news here is she told the census folks she didn't know where her father was born but her mother was born in England which we did not know.] Also living with them were son 'Harding' [actual name: Harden] and his wife Syletha [actual name: Cynthia] along with their four children and two hired men. Note that these listings are as they appeared BUT some incredibly patient person or persons indexed the whole thing to make life a bit easier. If your ancestors were in Logan County in 1880 I think you want these records.
