Hi List, Yes Jerry is a wonderful person. He sent me my Cunningham file in detail. He is one of the rare people who goes above and beyond. I want to say a special Thanks to Jerry again for all the help he has given me. I also would like to ask Jerry if there is anything in his vast library that explains why alot of people left the Decatur Co IA area in the early 1880's. I know some left to go out "west", but others after living in Decatur Co for 15 to 20 years and were 50 to 60 yrs of age sold out and moved on. Was there an economic downturn in this area at this time? I would appreciate any insight that Jerry or any of you might have. Thanks, Sandi
