The drawing of the Milner farm actually was in a reprint of the 1874 Erie County, Ohio Atlas, but it was so close to the date of the "farm tour" in 1875, that I included it in the same blog post. I so wish I knew what Henry and Huldah Milner looked like!Dorene from Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371522353987796175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657901541325041898.post-15561825925005713802011-07-10T17:29:53.397-04:002011-07-10T17:29:53.397-04:00Finding information like this is so exciting, Dore...Finding information like this is so exciting, Dorene, and it's especially gratifying to read of an ancestor who was held in such high esteem.
