I've uploaded the biographical sketches from the 1897 version of Maxwell & Swisher's History of Hampshire County. They're found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhampsh/max/ Too late for many of you, but it might help a newbie. And, anyway, I've gotten some good leads off other county's biographical sketches, so it's payback.
