I forgot to mention that in that same newsletter that was mentioned in my last post Clarke County was said to be meeting "At the house next to the County Museum in Grove Hill", at a time that has already passed. Each Newsletter gives a rundown on which counties are doing what and meeting where, etc ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Sorry; I posted to what I thought would be both the list and the last party to post re the Heritage books. Won't go into the detail I did in that note, but didn't save it when I sent it so will just say that one of the Heritage Newsletters that I have been receiving indicates that Clarke is still in the process of gathering items, as they aren't included in the list of either Books available that have already been published or in the Books that are in the process of being published at the moment. (Not to be confused with being put together....) The following addresses and numbers are 205-280-4100 for the Heritage Newsletter; email is heripubcon@aol.com and the web site is http://mindspring.com/~awillcut/heritage.htm The address for Heritage Publishing Consultants , Inc is P.O.

Fellow list members, My last issue of the Clarke County Historical Quarterly of summer 1998 said that a committe is being formed to work on the Heritage Book project. The Quarterly asked people who were interested to contact the museum. The phone number at the museum in Grove Hill, AL is 334-275-8684 and it is open 10AM-4PM Mon-Fri. The mailing address for the Clarke County Historical Society is PO Box 131 Jackson, AL 36545. Jackie Feldman Redmond, WA

Is it too late to have my family included in the Heritage Book for Clarke County? What are the rules/format? Patti in California

Is anyone in researching John GILES and Elizabeth PETTUS (Pettis)? Bill Allen <misterbill@pdq.net> (Sheer-Luck Holmes)

This may have not gone to the list, as I'm now noticing, but thought I'd let you know that I haven't forgotten that I was going to post the information re the surnames that have the astirisks in my last post. Something has come up that has taken all of my attention for the last couple of days , and I will have this information posted within the next day or so at the latest. Sorry Kathy.....

Does anyone know who or what organization would have the burial records for the small cemetery that faces Highway 43 next to the Downtowner Motel in Jackson? I think it's called the Parker-Bell cemetery, and I'm trying to verify that Robert Fulton Dolbear (a soldier in the War Between the States) is buried where I think he is!! I appreciate any help.

This collection of valuable information and stories on Clarke County Alabama contained in the Clarke County Historical Quarterly collection will not be accessed easily through the Historical Society. That archive collection is stuffed in an old dresser drawer in a hallway in the Historical building and is almost useless in the current condition. There is not a copy machine in the building. You will find this same collection in several Libraries. Mobile has a set and other Libraries will also - just search. This collection would be useful if it could be put online and this could be accomplished with permission of the Historical Society. We have not found any interest in the Society to help get this valuable data to researchers. The Society has not even indexed the stories so it is all just a pile of information to be searched through issue by issue. Hope this helps you get the copies. ....

Kathy, I didn't have your address but would appreciate a obit lookup for Hillard J Belk. He died the last of 1846 as his estate inventory of appraisal was listed December 1846. I believe he lived in Suggsville and he was married to Laura Ann Eliza Hill. Alabama Sherrifs Youth Ranch Virgil P Holden P O Box 575 Summerdale AL 36580 vholden@gulftel.com

Nancy Harwood requested Clarke County Obits on about the 15th of October, which I was able to do, and was able to obtain some of the obits that she had requested. Communications were no problem up to that point I was sent exact names to search, but have not been able to get a response since sending them. The above address worked up until then. Would like to know if she recieved them, or if the address is now somehow wrong. Would be willing to look for anyone else that might need an obit searched. What I have is about 25 pages in length, and all are Clarke County obits from the Clarke Newspapers of the times. Dates appaer to cover from the 1830's on. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
