Dearborn County Commissioners Proceedings – Jun 1882

Proceedings of the June 1882 Session of the Dearborn County, Indiana commissioners appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 22 Jun 1882 – Page 3, Column 3

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT.

The proposition of James Walker to put lightning rods on the new county asylum was accepted, and he was given the contract to do the work.

The Board fixed the rate of tax for county purposes at 55 cents on the $100, and also levied 50 cents for each taxable poll for county purposes.

Julius Severin was awarded the contract for putting an iron roof on the smoke house at the new county asylum.

George Givan was appointed Inspector of Elections in the upper voting precinct of Manchester township.

The Board ordered that all Township Trustees made a written report to the Board at the September session, showing the number of poor in each of their respective townships who are drawing aid from the county. Such report to give the name of the person, the amount received, their age and physical condition, the number dependent on the person receiving the aid, how long they have been a county charge, and any other information that may be of benefit to the Commissioners in determining what disposition they can best make of their cases.

Claims of Catharine Lang (sole legatee of Francis Lang, deceased,) for $1,911, and claim of Ex-Treasurer Lods for $525, were allowed. Mr. Lang and Mr. Lods, while acting in the capacity of Treasurer of the county, paid and accounted to the Board of Commissioners for more money than was legally and justly due from them on account of county revenue, by reason of the fact that they were not allowed by the Board the fee of one percent, on all disbursements of school taxes by them disbursed, and the claims were allowed for this reason.

Dearborn County Soldier Headstones – 1882

Headstones for deceased soldiers received in 1882 for Dearborn County, Indiana appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 8 Jun 1882 – Page 3, Column 4

Headstones for Deceased Soldiers.

Friends of deceased soldiers who have made application for Government headstones are requested to call at Fisk Bros., in Aurora for those required in Aurora and vicinity; on Leroy Roberts at Dillsboro, for that place and vicinity; on Henry Noble in Moore’s Hill for that place and vicinity, and at the Auditor’s office for Lawrenceburg, Manchester and the northern part of the county. The Government requires that the stones be firmly set so that there will be fifteen inches of the stone above ground. If there is any person named in the list below who has no relatives or friends in the neighborhood, I will take it as a favor if some person, who knows where the grave can be found, will notify me, so that I may make some provision for having the stones set.

I earnestly hope that the old soldier boys of Dearborn county will take such steps between this and next decoration day that will enable us to pay the same tribute of respect to our dead comrades that other counties around us do. There is no good reason for us being behind them in this respect.

John D. Haynes presented to the Board a petition representing about 176 signers, praying for a bridge across North Hogan creek near Lytle Park’s residence. After hearing the representatives of the petitioners present, the matter was taken under advisement until the June session.

George Bruce, Court House janitor, in view of the fact that he had been at a great deal of extra expense and labor in cleaning the Court House and other work by reason of the late flood, is given the sum of $100 for extra services. “Dick” performed considerable meritorious service during the time mentioned, and was undoubtably entitled to some recognition for the same, and the action of the Board in the matter is commendable. “Dick” was somewhat surprised when the sum was presented to him, as he was not expecting anything of the kind.
