Hi, I noticed that Medad Green who is also listed on the fifth grade graduates list was born on November 3, 1868. That would make him about 19 when he was a fifth grade graduate. I have no idea if that was the usual age or not. I'll check next time I'm at the library and see if I can find out when any of the others on the list were born. Does anyone out there know? Yes, Butlerville is in Campbell township. Terry Jennings County INGenWeb Coordinator KRiley wrote: > Terry > Thank you so much for this information.
