*Note that the Municipal Clerk used to be an elected position in the Township.  It’s a guess as to 
whether E. B. Yard served the entire time from 1882 to 1923.  There is a newspaper article saying he 
was elected in 1882. The term of that election is unknown.  Meeting minute books confirm he was the 
clerk from 1897-1923.
