An old account book belonged to John G. Winans. 1st entry is dated January 1, 1874 and as late as January 29, 1880. On one page is a part of an agreement where Phebe Tylor and John W. Thompson and Mary M. Winans rent to John G. Winans the John Thompson 160 acre farm for a period of three years, dated September 25, 187? Rent $200 per year and keep fence repaired.
