most valuable that could be added to
the states present collection of bio
graphical and genealogical works on

made their custodian and 1t Is thought
best to place them in the custody OF

county In the state and in some in
stances represent those OF counties
where the original records have beeu
burned. There are hundreds of thous-
ends Of names included In them.
