Nancy Thompson, Neoma Foreman and at least 30 volunteers from the Tri-County Genealogical Society contributed thousands of hours over the past six years to get this tome completed. The work is published by the Vernon county Historical Society.
Days were spent trudging through muddy or dusty cemeteries, fighting flies, mosquitoes, spiders and snakes to discover every tombstone.
Some stones were resurrected from beneath the sod. Some graves were discovered that had no stones at all.
This two volume set has more than 700 pages of burial listings. The index includes maiden names for the women (when known) and adds more than 200 pages of information to the first volume.
You can get copies of the book by contacting the Tri-County Genealogy Society at their website, or drop in at the Bushwhacker Museum where the Vernon County Historical Society has some available for sale.
