Editor's Note:

The "Cobblestone Structures of Wayne County" essay by Verlyn Edward Klahn is in PDF format in the Cobblestone Info Base. The essay has 386 pages. A link to the entire essay is provided in the text above to satisfy a user's specific need or curiosity; however, browsing to locate specific structures or body of text without an index is very impractical. Creating an index is redundant since the index structure is already used in the Cobblestone Info Base.

The practical solution is to provide access through a link in each Cobblestone Info Base webpage that corresponds to specific documentation and imagery for that structure in the essay; however, the structure names from 1955 in the Klahn essay typically do not match the currently used names in the Cobblestone Info Base. As a remedy, in the "Historical Marker" section of any Wayne County Town Menu, there is a link to a Klahn essay Town map, which provides red or blue button links to the Cobblestone Info Base structure pages marked on the map. The Klahn essay does not include all of the known Wayne County cobblestone structures, so the essay Town maps, some revised due to errors, give links to all of the structures included in the essay.

When a particular reference or structure has multiple pages, whether or not they are contiguous, just those pages will be displayed in a specific format, created by the programmer for consistent, optimum viewing, typically not in essay page sequence. Multiple page numbers seen by the user in the text example above will be in page number sequence displayed by the user's PDF Reader application for the convenience of user browsing, typically not in the displayed "programmed format" as shown in the above example where the pages are duplicates, rearranged in order, and saved as a separate PDF file for the convenience of users who may want to download the file. Not related text or imagery on any given page will either dimly displayed or not included.

Pages with a page number in the header start at "2" which is actually the 5th page of the PDF file. The HTML programming must specify the actual page number of the PDF file in order to access that page. Page numbers appear only on essay pages 2 through 24, but are actually pages 5 through 27 in the Klahn essay PDF file page count. If a user has an issue with displayed page(s), knowing the PDF Reader page number viewed allows the Cobblestone Museum personnel to know exactly which page is of concern.
