TAHS Website Updates for February 2007
TAHS Website Updates for February 2007
Mar 2, 2007
Wow! What an amazing month we have had! So many wonderful
contributions - Melva Taylor has been a busy little beaver
transcribing the Sterling Gazette and sharing the obits &
marriages with our site. Lynn & Craig Kolb have also
submitted more obits and anniversaries for the their
Kolb/Denison/Dow lines. Jack Pritchard has been posting a
wonderful history on Dr. Harry TERRY which incorporates so
many family names. He has also submitted two family history
charts - one for James DAVIS and the other on Dr. Reuben
DAVIS. How many know who the author by the name of "Hickory
Switch" is?
I created a "Wish List" to acquire achive-safe storage
materials for our Tampico Tornado newspapers as well as
some very-needed items. Well, who would have thought . . .
the response has been unbelievable! The Tampico Lions Club
donated $1000 towards our efforts, Les Niemi (a long-time
friend of the TAHS) has donated a brand new
printer/scanner/copier AND a digital camera! Andy Hinton
will be home on leave in March, bringing us a
microfisch/film reader. The generosity of these folks is
just so overwhelming to me. THANK YOU just doesn't seem to
be an adequate response. That's our history they are
helping to preserve. Anyone that has gleened genealogical
information from our website or the TAHS museum owes these
fine folks a BIG thank you!
Activity has been great on the Message Board. I am so
grateful to all of you who take the time to respond to
those searching their roots. Thank you!
Here's the latest entries for the month of February. If you
are local, please contact me regarding the Memorial
Cemetery Walk at the TMC and St. Mary's. If you would like
to do a brief presentation on anyone buried in these
cemeteries or know of someone who would, please! Contact me
at your earliest convenience.
