The library there put me in touch with someone from the group a few years ago. Here is the library's contact info: http://www.canal.lib.oh.us/ Email: info@canalfultonlibrary.org There are several small histories with photos-- I have family from there. The Society published a great little book written by an elderly gentleman who delivered papers there while a boy. He remembered everyone on his route and wrote a description of them. There are tidbits about the families in that. It is not indexed-- he basically "walked" you down the route. It is helpful because there were no street addresses in town and it is hard to tell where your family lived. Everyone walked to the PO for their mail. Someone plotted the various entries on a map of the town. I used it to figure out my family homes. Anyway, that was called Nostalgia / Waldo M. Streby. by Streby, Waldo M. (Waldo Miller). [North Canton, Ohio : W. Streby], 1978. It was still available to buy at a small cost a couple of years ago.
