This document, Vol 3, has over 1375 pages. I just transcribed the sections on towns in Tama County. Presumably, the previous volumes have a farm directory, and township maps, but I haven't seen them. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or corrections. It's important to get the details right!

My corrections are in [square brackets]. An * indicates that there is an advertisement, usually on a nearby page in the document. I didn't put the ads on this webpage, but if you need more information, please contact me, at the link above. I have tried to transcribe the document exactly, except that I have put all the names in boldface. The capitalization varies in the original, and I have not changed it. In the original font, the capital C and O are almost identical, and I may not have correctly transcribed all of them.
