About This Transcription

I have spent several months researching on the internet and at the U.S. Copyright holdings, and have not found that this publication was ever copyrighted. Not to mention that today, people are selling this book in various formats. One company copied the book and reprinted it hardbound, another company scanned the book and is selling it as an Adobe PDF document, and yet another has it available online for a subscription.

I have worked hard at retyping this book in its entirety, and correcting some typos, also adding corrections that MDC noted in her book while it was located in the public library. Some notes were added by me from various sources and will have my name listed by the corrections as "ALH". Those of Ms. Cate are noted with her initials "MDC".

The complete book will be on one page, so it will take time to download, be patient.  The photos, to reduce download time, will be linked to from this document.

The public records that MDC compiled for this book have been omitted from this online transcription as they can already be found [or soon will be found] on this website at Court Records and the Cemetery pages.

TERMS USED IN THIS SECTION ARE NOT MEANT IN ANY WAY TO BE HURTFUL OR HARMFUL TO ANY PERSONS.  READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. 

You must take into consideration the time period in which this book was written, if you are easily offended by certain words or phrases, please do not read the book, and DO NOT complain to me, I did not write it.  This book would be incredibly "politically incorrect" in today's society, however, I have transcribed it in full, as it was written by Margaret Davis Cate.
