It originally ran as a series of articles in the Culver Citizen newspaper, and was also re-printed in book form as a supplement. Culver's Tri-Kappa - if memory serves me right reprinted the book in 1976 as a bi-centennial and money raising project.

I have ran each chapter trough spell-checker in Word - to check for spelling errors and if found they are within [] - genealogical standard DO NOT CHANGE WHAT WAS SHOW CORRECTIONS. Also I have capitalized names to make them stand out. I have also taken the liberty if need be to break up a paragraph to make it more readable - where there is a long listing of names I have put them into column form - hoping they will be more readable; other places I have taken liberty to use outline form to make things stand out or readable.

In the family sections I have definitely made an outline form of children under their parents if at all possible and other editing to make these sections more readable and useable; slao besides making each family their individual page if more than one paragraph this makes it more accessible withou wading through all the other families - as there is an abundant wealth of information there to be accessed and sometimes in the straight paragraph form it is over whelming, hard to decipher and follow. And if clarification is needed it is put in [] as such: [of which were] I am hoping that I have done these sections justice - I have tried to use as much as I can the genealogical standard of the "Register" format without using the numbering system - as it was not used in presenting the material in this work. Also if a child/person was listed another family as being married - I have drew some of the information into the family where it has been omitted because of being in another family presented within thus to give a more complete listing as a reference tool; and also there in under that family group also. No information has been omitted while making these families into outline form - only re-arranged to be able to follow the "train of thought"- I hope?

Over the years - I have avoided this source too because of the "un-readability" of it. And now even more so in "older" years - when I have to take my glasses off to even read the computer screen - but can't see without them either at a distance!?!?

This is a start at making it friendlier - I hope you approve - I done it while reading it and using it for documentation for the site. As use it more I will continue proof further - I noticed allot of errors along the way and tried to correct them spellings with []; punctuations I just added or omitted along the way.
