I don't have anyone in Monroe Co. but that makes me sick. Barb

INMONROE-L@rootsweb.com Hi, folks, On Friday, June 22, 2000, there was a lengthy article on the front page of the Bloomington HERALD-TIMES entitled "County Records Move a Success." This article pertained to historic township and county records that have been stored in a dirt floor room under the Monroe County Courthouse. In May, Iris Kiesling, president of the Monroe County comissioners, prepared an emergency memo that rescued some of the records and consigned others to the trash heap in an effort to clear out the basement to make room for repairs. Some of those records were moved to the attic of the Health Services Building where other county records were already stored. In order to make room for the incoming records, some records already stored in the attic had to be relocated. In fact, at least 22,500 pounds of records made it to the dumpster in fat truckloads. Although the article was not specific about the nature of the records that were destroyed, it noted that the state mandates that certain records can never be discarded, e.g., land records. In fact, most the the 19th century mortgage and land records, about a hundred volumes, have already been placed in the Monroe County Historical Society for preservation. So what exactly was discarded? Well, your guess is as good as mine. I have heard that the Monroe County's early tax records, incredibly dusty and moldy, were among those items stored on the basement floor. Although a few of the tax books, the ones from the 1940s were mentioned specifically, were saved because of state mandates, it was not noted whether or not all tax books survived. If you are interested in Monroe County records, I suggest you read this article for yourself. Check it out at <www.HoosierTimes.com>. Or you can probably track down a copy of the article through the newspaper or the library. Personally, I'm going to make a few phone calls and try to better inform myself. Randi Richardson -

Posted on: Clay County, In Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Clay?read=958 Surname: Ebenezer Gilbert, Lydia Walker, Mary Walker ------------------------- Am trying to find any information on the WALKER/GILBERT lines that were in Clay Co, IN from at least 1840 until sometime before 1860 where they show up on the Edgar Co., IL census. Ebenezer Gilbert (b. ab 1825 OH) married Lydia Walker (b 19 Jan 1830 CLAY Co, IN) probably in Clay Co., IN. Mary WALKER b. ab 1796 in TN, was Lydia's mother. I have found Mary in the 1840 Clay Co census. She was alone. Later they all moved to Edgar Co, IL and Mary lived with Ebenezer and Lydia and their family. I have been unsuccessful at finding anything at all on Mary and Lydia's background (husband/father etc). I don't know if Mary was widowed, divorced, un-married mother or what. I have hit a brick wall. If anyone can help, it would be very greatly appreciated.Any infor on E. Gilbert would also be a great help and very welcome. Thank You. S. Charmaine Klemczewski SKLEM@worldnet.att.net

Everyone is very welcome! :o) I will be sending all of the original copies of the 1900 census to the Clay Co. Gen. Library for all those researchers who do not use a computer! If there are some of you who have not been to the Gen. Library in Clay Co., you are really missing out on some things! It is wonderful there. The folks who work there are as well good people. I hope everyone enjoys going through the 1900 census and happy hunting to all! Becky :o)

Do I know you? Who are you. Why don't you e-mail me at buckybarb@aol.com Barb

Who are we talking about here. Barb

We visited Lloyd Rector in Carbon several times, he was always so glad to see us. Barb
