PATRONS REFERENCE DIRECTORY
 

Taken from

Standard Atlas of Decatur County Kansas.

Copyrighted 1921 by Geo. A. Ogle & Co.  

In the plat book are towns, cities and townships of the county. Also in the plat book, are portraits of citizens, old settlers, leading men and women, and  photos of homes and farms of the county. I have indexed the portraits from the book. These plat books were common in Kansas and other states and provide valuable resource materials for genealogist. 

This is the first half of the list, in alphabetical order (A through L).  Typed in the same order and spelling as the plat book.  To access the second half, scroll to the bottom and click on words,  Second Half.

If your family name is not included, it does NOT mean they were not living here, just that they were not on this particular list.
