This is an index to the Guardianship case file records in the County Clerk's Office at the courthouse in Golconda. It was typed from the original by Rick Allen. Digitally scanned copies of the original records may be ordered from the Pope County Historical Society - secretary@popecoilhs.org. It is in rough alphabetical order. You can use Control F on your keyboard to search the index by name of dependent and the name of the Guardian. Many of the files are Insanity case files.

These records are in Box 320 in County Clerk's office. Listed are the indentured/apprenticed child, name of the person to whom indentured to learn a trade/skill, year of record, and name of parent (when given). Often dates of birth and ages are included. These are not generally large files. Members can obtain copies of the files for $10 and Non-Members for $15. Send requests to secretary@popecoilhs.org. We regret we cannot provide physical copies at this time - just digital scan
