Index
of 1918
compiled
from
“Standard
Atlas of Hamilton County Iowa including a Plat Book of the Villages, Cities and
Townships of the County along with a Patrons’ Reference Directory” Compiled
and Published by Geo. A. Ogle & Co., Publishers & Engravers, Chicago,
1918
- NOTE:
Check all variations of name spellings as there is an extreme
variation of the spellings. I
suspect the information may have been collected in person as land parcels
are shown with lanes leading to residences and church, school sites and
flowing wells are also identified. These
items normally would not be found on the official plat maps in the
Auditor’s office.
- There
can be more than one entry for each land owner.
Additional information on land owners and tenants was taken from the
Patrons’ Reference Directory in the 1918 Plat Book.
- Many
renters (tenants) paid to have a listing in the Patrons’ Reference
Directory. Their residence was
also noted on the township plat map.
- Kendall
Young Library has two copies of the 1918 Plat Book, one of which has been
separated out and laminated for protection and ease of copying in its full
size.
- This
Names Index and the 1918 Plat maps are also posted to the
Index
