The younger people and those comparatively new to our area are very appreciative. Because of the great number of names these biographies will be limited to as feSv words as possible. They will state, wherever possible, the following: place of birth, maiden name of wife, number in family, occupation, location of farm, or residence and present owner, religious iation and place of burial. It is obvious that there will be , cases where some of this infor- mation will not be available. We ask that any errors that may be made be pointed out so that they may be corrected. The biographies will be printed in the same order as the first list published in the Post. Reader response will determine how long the program continues. • Mr. William Aitilay We think Mr. Ainlay was born in England. He first came to this area in 1851.
