County Receives Donation of 1829 Family Bible

The county received a donation of an 1829 family Bible from the John Solomon Mosbarger family. John Solomon Mosbarger was born in 1806 and married Eliza Walker. Wayne Mosbarger sent the bible from Washington because the family wanted the Bible to return to Worth County, where the family had strong ties. The Mosbargers were among the earliest families to settle in Worth County.
Presiding Commissioner Ted Findley left early to attend a funeral.
The county is going through the stretch of the year where very little tax money is coming in. In addition, there is pressure on the county finances this year from having to replace tubes that are just a year old.
The county is now licensed to broadcast narrowband. Ernie Miller from Midwest Mobile helped the county get their sheriff and ambulance services licensed free of charge.
State Representative Mike Thomson sent the county a state and US flag to be flown at the Sesquicentennial this year.
