special collections room at the library. A lot of hard work went into writing
and indexing different county and state books in the collection. Our society
has done several cemetery books of our local cemeteries such as Acacia,
Pioneer, Citizens, Turlock and Ceres among others. GSSC has also done an every
name index for a couple of Stanislaus County History Books. They are " The
History of Stanislaus County " by George Tinkham and also " Stories
of Stanislaus" by Sol P. Elias. They were both published in the 1920s and
our society indexed them years later. Tinkham's book has biographical sketches
and photos of prominent county men including Sol. P. Elias. Sol was a former
mayor of Modesto and he wrote his book about various happenings and history of
the county.</span></div>

for your genealogical documentation. One good example are the books done by
Virgil D. White. He has abstracted and indexed a lot of the early wars pension
and service records from the National Archives. His best-known work is "
Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files". It is a
4-volume set with an every name index. It gives a good synopsis of the pension
information. If you find your person in the book you can find the original
papers either on line or you can order from the archives. His other books that
we have are indexes for Old War Pension files, Indian Wars and the War of 1812
pensions. Come visit us at the library to use these and all the other great
books we have.</span></div>

have Ancestors in Texas, this information will be of assistance to your
record searches).</span><br />
<br />
*Submitted by Pam Atherstone.<br />
<br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Many
Texas county courthouses have burned down over the years, oftentimes
resulting in the destruction of the documents they stored: marriage,
wills, probate and land records, among others. Once destroyed they are
lost forever. Despite the fact that they have been placed on mircofilm,
computers and film burn as well. The most tragic aspect of this is the
reason that many of our courthouses are destroyed: by arsonists. Here is
a fairly complete list of courthouses that have been destroyed by fire:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Angelina
County Courthouse burned on November 19, 1891. Many of the county
records – including those in the assessor’s office and the justice of
the peace office were destroyed. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Austin
County Courthouse was built in 1888, was destroyed by fire on April 5,
1960. Courthouse records were saved
Cass County Courthouse – damaged by fire in August 1933. Courthouse
rebuilt and enlarged.
Crosby County Courthouse in Estacado caught fire on October 9, 1889 and
destroyed the judges’, treasurer’s and county clerk’s offices. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Delta
County Courthouse at Cooper was destroyed by fire on 9 March 1899.
Nearly all of the county records were stored in a fireproof vault and
were saved. Records in the district clerk’s office, probably records on
current cases, were destroyed. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk">Denton County Courthouse and almost all county records were destroyed by fire in December 1875. </span><br />
<span class="_3oh- _58nk"><br />Eastland
County Courthouse, a three-story stone building, burned on November 29,
1896. The records are believed to have been saved.
<br /><br />Erath County Courthouse and most of the county records were destroyed by fire in the summer of 1866.<br /><br />
Gillespie County Courthouse and many county records were destroyed by fire in July 1850.
<br /><br />Galveston County Courthouse was destroyed by the Galveston
Hurricane in September 1900, swept the island clean, therefore, it is
likely the record was destroyed in the hurricane. Check in nearby
counties for any such replications of any records from the
Galveston area prior to 1900.
<br /><br />
Goliad County Courthouse and almost all county records were destroyed by fire in June 1870.
<br /><br />
Gray County Courthouse Annex destroyed by tornado in 1970.
<br /><br />Grayson County Courthouse was burned by a mob on May 9, 1930.
However ALL of the vital records, land records, and most court records
were saved from this fire. The courthouse had records in fire proof
rooms and storage areas.
<br /><br />Grimes County Courthouse records were destroyed by fire in late 1848.
