History
Macon County Title and Abstract started with J.R. Larson and F.E. Kinney, official abstractors of Macon County. It was originally located in the old Macon County Courthouse next to the County Recorder. The business was later sold to attorney Arthur Ploeger who operated the company as Ploeger Title in two locations. Attorney Andrew P. Chiligiris purchased the company in 1995 and changed the name back to Macon County Title. Eileen Butler worked for the company for over 50 years and was a key employee for 3 of its owners. We have been located in a historical building in downtown Decatur for 18 years with a state of the art closing facility.
