Thank you, Melissa. It must have been the 1900 fire that became the "legend" of the Civil War Fire. I had heard that story forever. I did research in the 70's and 80's in the Bibb Courthouse (great memories), but never even looked for Chilton. I soooo wish I had time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Hogan" <genealogistinal@yahoo.com> To: <albibb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 7:54 AM Subject: Re: [ALBIBB] Chilton County Cemetery Group and their cookbook > Evelyn > > I agree that the cookbook is interesting and a worthy cause and I > encourage anyone who has relatives in Chilton or who want to form and > association in another place to preserve and restore local cemeteries to > take a look at the website: http://www.chiltoncemeteries.org/ > (Registration at the site is free.) > > Katherine and her husband, Jeff, have been the driving force behind this > association since it was formed just over a year ago.
