The lovely Decatur County courthouse, in the center of town with a landmark tree growing from its tower, contains the County Clerk's office which holds marriage records, probate records, "complete record books," naturalization records, records of civil suits, divorce records, license records, some taxation and school records and more. Many, but not all, of these records were filmed some years ago by the Indiana State Library and are available on microfilm for inter-library loan from that facility in Indianapolis. Some of these microfilmed records are among the holdings of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and may be available through local Family History Centers.
