Pages 111-249 provide an alphabetized list of names for Perrysville and Highland Township as they were recorded in U.S. censuses of 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. Earl R. Storms (b. 1940) graduated from Ball State University in 1966, and held graduate degrees from Purdue and Indiana State. He was a school teacher in Perrysville and, for a time, the owner-publisher of the Herald-News (Cayuga, Ind.). He inscribed the book to Gene Daniels, who appears to have been born in 1923 and raised in both Highland Township and the Perrysville/Covington area. Signed by Author(s).
