4. Johnson County, Indiana, Male Enumeration 1889 and 1895
Holmes, Maurice, compiler

Indiana: Private Printing. Near Fine 1984. Binder. Lists all males 21 and over in the county for 1889 and 1895. Serves as a partial substitute for the 1890 Federal Census records destroyed by fire. Compiled from township records. For each record lists name, age, township, and year. Spellings of individuals' names varied between the two years in many cases. An interesting point is that although the township records listed "white and colored" males, the compiler made no distinction between the two in these listings: these typically would have been called out in the original records. Reproduction of typescript, 4to, 157pp in a flexible binder with brown card covers, title label to front cover. Essential for the genealogist and historian looking for primary source material. Fine condition in all ways.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 157 pages .
