Debbie - the following taken from page 808 History of DeKalb County Indiana 1885 George Reese, agent for the Wabash Railway and Troy Station, Troy Township, was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio March 11, 1846, a son of Hambright Reese, a native of Greene County, Pa.

If anyone has access to a copy of the 1885 History of DeKalb County Indiana, could you please do a look up for me? I'm looking for my 3 great grandfather, Frederick Long. He was a Methodist minister. I believe there is some information on him on page 808 in the above mentioned book. I'm looking for any personal information, family mentioned, address, just anything that might tell me more about him. I know next to nothing about him. Thank you so much. I appreciate any help offered. Yours in Christ, Debbie Tarantino

They lived in Spencerville, IN sometime before 1900. Mary was married to a William Foreman (Forman). They had a daughter Edith May. William and Mary were married 12 Sept 1883 by a Rev Joseph Slack in Allen County. The 1900 Federal Census listed Mary E. Foreman and Edith Foreman as living in Dekalb County, Concrod township. I do not know the names of Mary's parents, but she said in the 1900 census that her father was from Germany and her mother from Pennsylvania. Any information would be appreciated.

--=======5D715D5B======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-2096238F; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Those of us who research in Indiana have an opportunity to increase our access to public records and to expand on a patron-friendly atmosphere that exists at the Indiana State Archives. For several years Dr Alan January, State Archivist, has been Co-Director of the Indiana Commission on Public Records (ICPR) with Connie Hume and Judge John Newman. The ICPR is the agency which creates and/or distributes state forms and documents. The State Archives has been part of this agency for a number of years. Governor-Elect Mitch Daniels will select his candidate for ICPR Director. As a long-time volunteer at the State Archives, I feel comfortable suggesting to you that you consider an email to Governor-Elect Mitch Daniel's website on behalf of Alan January's candidacy. That website is: http://www.mygovmitch.com/nominate.asp Besides including your personal information, you will need to include the following: Dr Alan January 5638 N Delaware St Indianapolis IN 46220-3018 317-253-4071 ajanx2@excite.com Under Dr. January's leadership the volunteer program has grown from a handful to about __ volunteers working to make Indiana records available to Hoosier researchers. Several databases have been made available on-line, and I believe several more would be on-line quickly under Dr January's leadership. Researchers could request copies of documents the existence of which is currently unknown to them. The State Archives has vast collections to pique the interest of many. I sincerely believe much progress would be made if Dr January were Director of the ICPR. In a day when access to many vital records is being legislated away, let's take a positive step toward disclosure of public records to which we can have access.
