Below is a letter from Gloria Evans, curator of the PRHGS gift shoppe/research library (Coffee County, AL). If anyone has information or stories concerning any courthouse in any Alabama county, please respond by sending your story or fact to Anne Feathers at afeathers@camelliacom.com . Anne Herbert Feathers is at the Alabama Historical Association. Thank you kindly for your help. See email below here. You all take care now..... Phyllis J. K. Owens Anne Feathers at Alabama Historical Association sent a letter It reads: As a way of collecting stories and legends about Alabama Courthouses for a talk to the Alabama Historical Association at the 2008 annual meeting, I am writing to local historical associations with the hopes that their members might have information about such lore associated with the courthouses in their counties. I hope you can help me. I am aware that courthouses in your county (Coffee) burned in 1851 and again in 1863 and am especilly interested in an facts, rumors. or other information about the fires. Many stories have grown up about barious courthouse burnings around the state, and I would like to include some of them in my talk. Certainly, if there are any such stories about Coffee County, I would like to include them. Also, any other stories or unusual features that you know about your current or former couthouses would be apperciated. If you can help me, please include sources for your stories. I am using many unverifiable tales (myths. so to speak) but at least would like to credit the person who told the story to me. Since the legth of my talk is limited, each narrative must necessarily be brief. If you know others who might be able to help, please pass this to them also. I certainly don't want to leave out a good story about a Coffee County Courthouse! Thank you so much for helping me gather information on this project. I am looking forward to hearing frim you.
