Hi Joan, I graduated from Big Prairie High School in 1952. It is located in Ripley Township............Dottie Miller -----Original Message----- From: Joan Oeck [mailto:JoanOeck@email.msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 3:23 PM To: OHHOLMES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHHOLMES] Township information I am doing research on the Whitfords in my Leyda family. A Leyda will executed in Wayne Co., OH, in March 1880 has several of the Whitford's in this family living in Big Prairie at the time the will was executed. I want to try and find them in the 1880 census but I don't know which township Big Prairie is located in. I've been to the Holmes Co. site but can't read the township map well enough to find Big Prairie - if someone could help me on this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
