Resident here · the book undated in every catalog reached
A Lakeville farmer whose pictorial history is the town's memory of itself — and whose book no catalog dates. Jeanne Geyer, a Lakeville resident and farmer who with her husband Russell built their home and barn on Kenilworth Road in 1959, farmed 272 acres in the Riddle's Lake area east of town, and ran a reupholstering business for fifty years, is the author of Now and Then — A Collection of Pictures and Stories about Lakeville, Indiana — a pictorial local history, built on historic photographs and stories, NOT a children's picture book; the framing that called her a picture-book author is corrected here on the carriers, and the correction stands's note. The town's 2011 Comprehensive Plan thanks her "for the use of her historic narrative and photographs of Lakeville," credits its whole history narrative to her book, and built its pictured Centennial Quilt record on her photographs; the 2004 Lakeville Festival raffled a history quilt whose images came from her book's photographs, with Geyer herself on the festival board. The Indiana State Library holds the book at call number 977.201 S143zLg, in closed stacks. What no carrier reached states is the book's own bibliographic frame — its date, publisher, extent and OCLC number stand as a named gap's note, its settler narrowed to the title-page verso of the State Library's copy. She is, on the record as it stands, the keeper of the town's telling-stock: the folklore file and the claims record both run through her book, and both say so where they do.
