Excerpt from History of Greene County, Ohio: Embracing the Organization of the County, Its Division Into Townships, Sketches of Local Interest Gleaned From the Pioneers From 1803 to 1840We seek in vain for an an answer to these questions in the old County histories. Those who could have answered are dead. One source only remains, the old official papers of the county. That were supposed to have had their dav, and like a well worn garment were cast away, boxed up and put into many Of the out Of way places of different public county buildings.In the early spring of 1897 the compiler of this work, having discovered the where abouts of said papers, and being interested in the early history of our county, called the attention of the Commissioners then officiating, Messers. John B Stevenson, John Fudge, James W. Pollock, and soon after, Lewis Smith, to the fact that in an upstair room of the Court House there were nine boxes stored away containing valuable county papers. No one knew what they were beyond the fact that many of them were the first papers of the county: and for lack of room, on account of the rapid increase of the legal business they had been carted away, thus making room for the papers of a later date.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
