Over the past few years, we have enjoyed stories

                                                                         about the history of  Rush County written by our Rush

                                                                        County Historian,  John Wilson.  Many of these stories

                                                                        have appeared in our Newsletters and local news-

                                                                        papers.  Several people have encouraged John to

                                                                        compile these wonderful stories into a book.  Now,

                                                                        after many long hours of hard work, that book is now

                                                                        available for us to read and learn about our

                                                                        rich Rush County history.
