Dearborn County Commissioners Proceedings – Sep 1885

Proceedings of the September 1885 Session of the Dearborn County, Indiana Commissioners appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 17 Sep 1885 – Page 3, Column 4

COMMISSIONERS’ COURT.

Henry Gerkin, the efficient janitor at the Court House, was reappointed for one year.

“Deeming it to the best interests of the county”—is the way the record reads announcing the re-appointment of Thomas Duncan as Superintendent and Charlotte Duncan as Matron of the County Asylum.

Henry Tholke and Fred Piper were appointed as viewers to examine the premises of Henry L. Riepking for damages for land taken for road purposes by reason of a washout by a recent flood and assess damages.

Henry Bulthaupt, Benj. Wethered and George W. Johnston were appointed viewers to view a road to be vacated in Clay Township.

In the matter of a petition to vacate a road in Logan and Harrison Township there was a strong remonstrance. Feist moved to appoint viewers to view the road and report on the utility thereof. Fisk and Feist voted for, and Annis against, the motion. Ephriam Butterfield, Daniel Crozier and John Lininger were appointed viewers.
