Phone calls should work here, as someone always answers the phone M-F, daytime, at least. Also, in small towns, the county clerk knows everyone, or at least how to find them. Try emailing her/him. If that fails, try snail mail. Don't forget to make it easy for them to answer you. Include a Self addressed, stamped envelope and any other thing you can think of that will make it easy for them to answer you. Good luck.
