They are not a complete listing. It seems, that when the courthouse was last remodeled and the addition was made to the original structure, which houses the Clerk of Court's office and other offices, that an effort was made by the Mr. Book who was then Clerk to arrange the loose originals in time for the rededication of the courthouse and corresponding with the American Bi-centennial Celebration in 1976. Time ran short and many errors in stuffing the envelopes occurred in filing. A volunteer later created an index, but only used the name on the envelope, not the actual contents, some which should actually have been placed in another file.
