Index to Will Book B
submitted by Lynn Risener
Transcribed from FHL film 1029954
This book starts somewhere close to 1880.
I will not be transcribing wills word for word except by request, but will try to list the pertinent infomation from each one.
This is the complete index for Will Book B.
Any wills I have not listed added information from are for the mid 1920's to late 1940's. I have added names and info on 5 wills that were in the book but not listed in the index in the front of the book.
