About Me

William R. Buckley
I worked at Mooresville (Indiana) Public Library for 16 years and, among other things, was responsible for the library's Indiana Room and genealogy collections, which included local history archives. I first visited Mooresville in 1977. I've lived in or near Mooresville for 30 years.
