I took time out from a wild goose chase yesterday when the trail of the elusive tax records seemed to end in the Akron library. Right next to the useless tax duplicate indexes was a book called "Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve". It turned out to be a treasure. I called Linda Flemming to see if she wanted me to xerox extra copies of the Richfield chapter for her. Turns out that RHS already has a copy - but when she found out what I was doing , she told me to check the U of A archives down the street. So I did, and there were the records! For Summit county, anyway.
I am doubly fond of the book- first for itself, second because it brought me good luck!
