County of Knox

After a recount on Dec. 8 that left election results unchanged, trustees in three Knox County townships are ready for swearing in ceremonies.

The Knox County Pomona Grange met on Monday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. The meeting was opened in regular form with 16 members and one guest present at Monroe-Dan Emmett Grange in Mount Vernon.

As a result of National Drug Take Back Day last Saturday, participating Knox County agencies collected 96.04 pounds of unused, unwanted and expired medication, according to a press release from the Knox Substance Abuse Action Team (KSAAT).

Now that all Knox County property records all the way back to 1810 are digitized and stored online, the Recorder’s office has arranged for county property owners to put alerts on their own records to help safeguard against fraud.
