Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention, there is a copy at Stearns History Museum Library. Jeanette Clancy is an old friend. She did a nice job with it.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TJB.2ACI/1622 Message Board Post: Thought someone on the Stearns County board might be interested in the book, "Nestled between Lakes and Wooded Hills, The Centennial History of the Avon Area" written by Jeanette Blonigen Clancy and published by the Avon Area Historical Society in 2000. Has a list of burials in Old St. Benedict's Cemetery from 1872-1921, the 1899 census of all persons in Avon age 1-73, original plat map of Avon vilage plus 6 pages of names in the index. Great book to have if you are a volunteer for the county or as a Christmas gift if your family is in it. If you are interested in owning this book let me know. As a Manitoba GenWeb volunteer I can't use a Minnesota book but know how important they are to someone else. Karen karenuffda@hotmail.com
