Years ago while at the Wells County Public Library, I photocopied everything I could in my short time there, including this 1900 Souvenir Edition of the Ossian News. It includes biographical sketches just like the ones in the old county histories. You'll find bios for these people:

For now, I've just scanned the pages with the bios and put them up, but if you see someone you're related to (or if you just have some time on your hands and want to make a contribution to the Wells County genealogical community), please transcribe a bio! The link to the message board is in red from the Souvenir Edition page I mentioned above.

I've been working on this for awhile - it's a history of Rockcreek High School published in 1964. There's a class photo from every year between 1923-1964, and I indexed all the names (except the WWII and departed classmates lists). Have a look!

These scans have been on my hard drive for a couple of years - I finally remembered to upload them and link them from "The Good Stuff" under "Schools":

1898-99 Souvenir of the Buckeye Public School in Union Township
1909 Class photo of the students at Ossian High School

Added bios of Edgar N. Cassell, Julius J. Brite, Benedickt Liniger, Wharton W. Rogers, and Henry Krick from the 1918 Standard History of Adams and Wells Counties book.

Added a link to a photo of Wiley School in Jackson Township from 1918-9. It has been on the Rootsweb message board for a couple of years already, but in case you haven't seen it, it is now linked from "The Good Stuff" under "Schools."

Added transcribed biographies of Henry H. Huff & James A. Brotherton from 1918 Standard History of Adams and Wells Counties

Added back issue of Wells County Tracer, the newsletter of the Wells County Genealogy Society. As soon as I receive more, I'll post them.
