The library is the Family Research Library, located directly behind the Public Library in the Cartersville Business Annex. The Genealogical Society loaned the Public Library the first of the Newspapers and then when the Family Research Library was situated at 425 West Main street, the Public Library is at 429 West Main., the Research Library bought all of the older papers on microfilm and we now have them for viewing. starting about 1840., I have contacted the Towers descendants approx 2 years ago and told them of the old Towers Cem. in Adairsville. Will be happy to help anyone with their Cass/Bartow families. I do have the Bartow County Web site.
