Dear Abby offers mixed guidance addressing four reader queries.

Generations in Huron County recall Dr. E V Buckingham of Centerton and Willard who died in 1922 at 84.

The piece also notes long-lived horses, county assessors collecting tax data, and census-like counts across townships, including Fairfield leading in horses and sheep in 1901, and Fitchville reporting the county’s largest personal property assessment.
