"The Burford Congregational Cemetery index and map(1834-1995), 1996" by Clayton Barker |
Authors note: Only 100 copies of this book were made and the Burford Township Historical Society is selling them - if there is a demand for it the Historical society will have more manufactured as we hold the copyright. I believe it is advertised on the internet as being for sale by someone else...Please note that if it isn't in the same perfect-bound cover as the rest of the 100 copies then it is a bootlegged copy and I would be glad to hear of any such copies and their Pirate manufacturers at once! Reply to the above noted address.

"The life story of Luther Barker, 1990" by Clayton Barker |
Out of Print Authors note: My first book, The life story of Luther Barker, which I self published 1990, sold 200 copies and is now out of print. Luther was my grandfather who lived to be 103. He was born and raised here in Burford Township and had kept a daily journal since 1906. His father kept a diary also (1883-1916). My grandfather compiled all his memoirs into a manuscript for me to Edit, transpose and insert anecdotes and lots of family photographs and genealogy. Though it would sell like "Hot cakes" I have decided not to reprint it unless it were for cost only.
