Clinton Township Public Library Historical Index
Since 1916 one of the duties of the librarian has
been to keep a historical scrapbook of news items of important events which have
occurred in the village and township. This and other historical items have
been indexed in the following table. Use the "find" option on the
page to locate family names or events. The first column will give you the
box, folder and page number information you need to request copies from the
library. To make requests write to the Clinton township Public Library,
Archival Project, 110 South Elm Street, Waterman, IL 60556, or email
CTPLibrary@mchsi.com. The
library staff will fill your request as time permits.
