It was about a year ago that I wrote that the 1882 History of Whitley County (by Goodspeed and Blanchard) was available online through the The Harold B. Lee Library Digital Collections.
Now, I've just discovered that Google Books has the 1907 History of Whitley County, Indiana by S. P. Kaler & R. H. Maring online. They say it was digitized a year ago, but I didn't find it until recently.
Both books are searchable online and can also be downloaded.

GSWC Workshop
The Genealogical Society of Whitley County (GSWC) held a Beginning Genealogy Workshop in conjunction with the Peabody Public Library on Saturday, March 17th. Attendance was limited to 20 people and the spaces quickly filled up. We were told there were enough people who wanted to attend that we should have another workshop - so, we will, on Sunday, May 20th. We are also planning a workshop for the kids who sign up for the 4-H Genealogy program, probably sometime in April.
My portion of the workshop covered "Internet Genealogy" and was only supposed to be 45 minutes. It ran a bit long, like an hour and 15 minutes total. Thank goodness there weren't any problems connecting to the internet! Randy Seaver mentioned that he'd had some connection problems with his presentation on blogging - I hadn't even considered that scenario. Guess I'd better make alternate plans, just in case.
As promised to the attendees, the Web Site Links have been posted at Kinexxions to make it easier for them to visit the sites listed on the handout (and so they don't have to try to type in the URLs for those sites). Have Fun!
