Official Directory
1880 Boone County History

Return to 1880 History of Boone County Index

The following official directory gives an almost full and an accurate list of the county officers of Boone county since the first organization. Owing to the reprehensible carelessness of the clerk of the board of supervisors, it is impossible to give an accurate list of the county officials for the years of 1862, 1863 and 1864. It will be remembered, in consulting this directory, that the dates have reference to the time of election, the persons named assuming the duty of their respective offices on the first Monday of January following. It is also noted that in the election of October, 1878, T. R. Gilda and J. W. Bremmerman, candidates for county supervisor, received each the same number of votes, and, not appearing to cast lots, the retireing member of the board held over, by reason of his successor not qualifying.
