Paul, I was smiling when I posted it because I knew you would be excited! It seems to fill in a missing time that I don't have information on your Reeves - hoping you will tell me who they all are. Do you know who James Reeves is/was? I don't have him in my database. It is also starting to give me some new clues on my Jones/Patterson/Whitakers so I am excited also. I copied the early years of Antioch also and will be posting them and then plan to go back and get the rest. I only had a short time when I was there. I went to the Jack Tarver Library at Mercer in Macon. I hope to find some McLean information but I may have to go to Whitewater for that in the earliest period. I was so excited when I saw in the Antioch minutes that they posted obituaries or death notices in the minutes and saw the one for two of my grandfathers.....well, not grand but great great something......
