Elwood Family Histories

This comes from the Elwood Centennial booklet, 1972. It was sent to us by Tom Upshaw.

There are about 10 pages listing several families in the area. I have listed here the last names only because some of the families are still living in the area. If you would like to know more about what it says for a particular family, please email me.

These are the surnames as they appear in the booklet. The histories are about a paragraph or so but may contain the names of people who are currently alive so I didn't want to repost the entire histories.
