I found this book in the online catalog at the Algona (Iowa) Public Library website, and that is where I'd go to get a copy of the page you need. See http://library.algona.org/ for catalog and contact info. The Iowa Genealogical Society library in Des Moines also has this book in their online catalog. See http://www.iowagenealogy.org/ . (I'd be happy to do a lookup for you, but I won't be back in Iowa until next summer.) Good luck. Ann Sullivan At 10:11 AM 12/10/2006, you wrote: >I am hoping for some help.
