Awhile back a young lady sent me a copy of page 483? of the book titled "History of Jasper County" Is anyone familar with this book? It is quite small 5 and half by 8 and half. But it must be quite thick with having more than 483 pages. It must be out of print, however if a copy is available I would be interested in purchasing. I spent the first 5 yr's of my life in Galesburg and Reasnor.The book apparently has a lot of names that I might know. It could also be used to find ancesters. In the meantime if the young lady would send me another copy of the page it would be very much appreciated. Her orig. was "mislaid" Thank You
