This wonderful book was sent to us by Bob Chada.  After being typed up and put online, it was donated to the Clinton County Historical Society.  Thank you so much Mr. Chada.

One of the best things about this information, from a genealogical standpoint, is the Members information which includes quite a bit of information.

Those sections or portions of sections that did not have names or other data were not put online.
