I should have qualified that statement, Charlie,. My grandmother had copied it from another history which is in print--at least parts of it are. She didn't have a typewriter at the time and so she hand wrote it. I knew it had come from someplace else and recently found parts of it in the McCall family history by Jack Nida. I guess what impressed me was that it was important enough for her to hand copy pages and pages of it. That and a list of family heirlooms from Gallia county homes of various relatives--Hannah Northup, Lavina Northup, and America Baker--which I now have in my possession are very special to me. They are all in my home and I cherish them all. So, you see, I see a bit of Gallia County history everyday. Joanne Galvin
