The 1899 Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and Knox County was a subscriber publication.  That is, in most cases, only those Knox County residents who paid a subscription fee had their portrait and/or biography published in it.  This is an alphabetical index to the page numbers of all of the Knox County biographies and portraits published in the Encyclopedia.  It is NOT an index to every name in the book.  Only the primary name associated with each individual biography and portrait is listed.
