McDonald County Historical Society

Today was a great day! (December 17, 2011)
We were sorting through boxes and information today. Jennifer is busy compiling a comprehensive Assession listing of all of the items belonging to the Society. Several of us were working today to sift through items and found two note cards, hand-written, from Pauline Carnell. Pauline was the Society's first President. There were 16 people who attended the first meeting on July 22, 1963. They were Mary Feasel, Mrs. E.V. Girtman, Eula Myers, Rouan Elliff, Mary Laurie, Bill & Marlowe Barclay, Zella Mae Spears, Doris B. Dorothy, Geneva Wellesley, Lucille Largent, Pauline Carnell, Christel Largent, Thelma Carnell, H.O. Stover, and John Wright.
