When > did that happen? Which records would've been destroyed? > Hi Joani H.: I suggest that you get a copy of "Hail Temple Built to Justice, A History of Mercer County's Courthouses" by Robert B. Fuhrman, 1994. Robert Fuhrman was the director of the Mercer County Historical Society. The booklet has 61 pages, 276 footnotes and many pictures of the various courthouses. I am not prepaired to make a book report on it here. It was available last summer for $5.00 plus $1.00 for s & h from the MCHS, 119 South Pitt Street, Mercer, PA 16137.
