Hi Ardie and all I have this book if any one desires a lookup. I would like to buy a copy of the book 70 years in Norton County by a Bowers. I understand it is very pricey but I would like to have it. I could probably spend more that it costs traveling and find next to nothings to do me much good but I understand Schessers are included in it.

Judy Would you look in your book "The History of the Early Settlement of Norton County, Kansas" by F. M. Lockard to see if the surnames Guthrie, Wiley or Boland are included in the book. I would buy it or bid on it on ebay if there was an information in it about my family. I appreciate your time in looking that up for me.

Hi Judy and list, I have D. N. Bowers book, "Seventy Years in Norton County, Kansas, 1872-1942" along with an index published by the Norton County Genealogy Society. No Schessers or Gunthers are listed in that index. Twice since I started checking ebay, there have been copies of the Bowers book for sale. Each time it sold for 60 or 65 dollars. There are currently two copies for sale at www.abebooks.com. One is $75 and one is $125, plus postage. Experts tell us we should be very careful purchasing items online and make sure we deal with reputable companies. Tonight I heard that you should always use a credit card for online purchases, not a money order, as the credit card company can provide more leverage if you have difficulties with a purchase. I have never had any problems purchasing books on ebay or other online booksellers, but I have heard horror stories about online purchases from other people and in the news. So be careful if you decide to purchase online, OK?
