El Paso Woman Has Been Behind Stacks Two Years Digging Up Old Records Miss Burkholder Finds Her Work Interesting -Blowing dust from old books and sitting behind stacks copying and deciphering handwriting does not sound as entertaining a as a floor show to most of us.

But Miss Blanche Burkholder, El Paso, etill finds her job interesting as she enters upon the last rounds. She is worker in the inventory of records in the Woodford county courthouse under the historical records survey, sponsored in the beginning by the federal government and now by the University of Illinois. Mies Burkholder tells of one of her interesting bits of dips into history; case of Abraham Lincoln in the common law record in the circuit clerk's office. Melissa Goings, indicted for murder, was represented by the firm Lincoln and Groves. The records show that she "pled not guilty" and "afterwards on the same day the case again was called and the defendant came not and also her sureties being called to produce her body came not." The story was told Miss Burkholder that during the lunch hour day of this trial, Melissa Goings asked Abraham Lincoln where she might get a good drink of water.

His answer to her was, "I have heard there ie good water in Tennessee." She took him at his word. records further show that Melissa Goings was found "not guilty." Records Complete. The inventory of records in the Woodford county courthouse has been underway since late in 1938 and is now in the final stages. Woodford county was founded in 1841 and the records for the most part are intact. Thus, Miss Burkholder states, the survey has been able to trace records from the founding to the present time.

In the early period when the population was small, many types of records were recorded in one volume or filed in one box. Later as the population increased the different records were segregated. In erg have found much valuable inthese re early records, the field workformation. For instance, it is possible to trace the naturalization of aliens from 1844 to 1923 (since 1923 naturalization is in the United States District court at Peoria). Other valuable information includes field notes on establishing county roads in the early daye, tax, land, birth and death records.

Birth and marriage records are now used to establish basis for old age assistance, employment, etc. Miss Burkholder states that a great many whose births were not recorded are now filing belated certificates with the county clerk. Studied at Eureka. Miss Burkholder spent several months at Eureka college taking the American Imprints inventory, at which time many valuable and rare books in that old school were found. The imprints division is related to the monumental work of the celebrated bibliographers, Charles Evans and Joseph Sabin, the completion of whose bibliographical taske were greatly helped through the WPA workers.

Photographs of the Woodford county courthouse, the old courthouse Metamora and the college library at Eureka college have been displayed at the state and central offices of the Illinois historical records in Chicago and Springfield together with other documents demonstrating work being done by the WPA in Woodford county.
