WAYNE COUNTY SHEEP AUDIT CLAIMS
1913
In 1913 most Wayne County residents still lived on farms or in rural communities. Names of farmers are often found in
the older supervisor's books, which published farmers' claims to the county for reimbursement. As farmers suffered
livestock losses due to dogs or wild animals, dog licensing fees went into a fund to compensate farmers for their losses.
Unless otherwise stated below, monies paid to people listed below were for claims filed for sheep killed.
The names below were abstracted from: "Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Wayne.
