    1. Hills of Habersham Book by Mary Church
    2. Sue Thompson
    3. In 1962 Mary Church wrote a book entitled "Hills of Habersham". It's only 162 pages but it is packed with early history of Habersham County and some wonderful pictures. Her husband's family owned the funeral home in Clarkesville for generations. Several years after she put it on the market, she took it off the market and for years you could not buy this book without buying it directly from her and only if she wanted you to have it. I don't know what caused her to do it but the books couldn't be bought for all of these years. Anyway, Mr and Mrs. Church have died now and the estate gave boxes of these beautiful, brand new first edition books to the library to sell for their fund raiser. When I bought my copy years ago, I paid $35 for it. The library is selling them for $3.00 or 2 for $5.00. If you have an interest in acquiring one, call the library at 706-754-4413. The books are a wonderful buy and a great history of the area. Sue Thompson
