DAY  Family

Probate &/or Will Records

By Vicky L Williams Winfield

3rd Great Grand Daughter of Cyrus & Harriet Day

 

Tuesday, October 01, 2002

 

I am just beginning the transcription of all the little bits of paper involved in Cyrus Day’s Probate Records.  This will not be the final pages.  I will later attempt to organize them in order of dates and specific materials.  Believe it is important to get some of the information out to various cousins at this time – so will attempt to place items on this page as I transcribe them.  When I get them scanned and copied will include the scanned copy beside the transcription.  There will be an introduction page with links leading to the various items.  Please bear with me as this does take time.   You may (of course) copy and save the graphics of scanned items pertaining to the PROBATE RECORDS and copy the transcriptions.  The idea of putting them on the web is TO SHARE THEM!  :o)  vlww

 

SOURCE:  922, Box 47 - Monroe County Court House, Albia, Monroe County, Iowa.

The entire file for Cyrus Day was contained in a metal box, bundled together with rotten rubber bands and crammed in with various other documents pertaining to other people.  It was in terrible condition (flaking pages, etc.).  One of the clerks in the office carefully and tenderly made copies of all the contents and sent them snail mail to me.  Obtained - Spring of 2001 by vlww & ng
