I know that my g grandfather and his twin brother were born in DeKalb County, IN...they were Edward and Edwin JACOBS, b. 16 Jan, 1840 or 41, sons of Levi and possibly Clarissa. I believe their sister Julia was also born there in 1845. I have been told the birth records don't begin until a later time. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to how to find this family in DeKalb County?? Levi is on the 1840 census for DeKalb County on Page 251 but no township is listed. The entire family moved to Racine, WI around fall of 1846 or 47 and settled in LaFayette Co., WI by 1855 for the remainder of most of their lives. I would really like to find them in DeKalb, what township they lived in or near, and especially what Levi's wife's name was and if Julia was born to her. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated:-) Nancy Wood [email protected]

The Auburn City Hardware Hardware, will be celebrating 150 years of hardware business at the location on eighth and Jackson Streets, in the year 2000. Does anyone have a memorabilia or information relating to the Pioneer Hardware or the Auburn City Hardware? For instance your grandparents may have told stories of Groundhog John and the Groundhog Magazine that was published in the early 1900's. Also, in the 1950's and 1960's the second store of the building was decorated for Christmas and was a child's toy wonderland. We need any information or stories that you may have. They can be sent to me at my email address or by mail to my attention Eliza Funk c/0 Eckhart Public Library 603 S.
