Hi Wanda, My mother's cousin currently lives in Enfield. It is a very nice town. There isn't a lot there anymore but the people are wonderful. I have many fond memories of Enfield. My mother's uncle ran a feed store in Enfield that was located next to the bank. The L&N train runs through Enfield (at least it was the L & N at one time, I don't know if it still is or not). At o The annual Mule Day celebration in Enfield is always a lot of fun. There is a parade, rides, entertainment, a street dance, and other activities as well. I think there is a website about Mule Day that was created by Cindy Birk Conley. Carol Janes --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now

I, for one, am sorry to hear that the Lick Creek Church was torn down. My gggrandfather, Thomas J. Aud, was a minister there in the 1840's. Both he and my ggrandfather and most of their families are buried there. Why was the church destroyed? Does anyone know where the church records are stored or if they were even saved? I have pictures of the church before it was torn down. I would be interested in any and all pictures of the church as it was being destroyed. If anyone is interested in sharing those pictures please contact me at jbhannah@earthlink.net .

If someone has a copy of the 1870 census would it be possible to check if there was a John H. Coale living in White County with his wife Margaret. They were married in 1869 in White County. Thank you. Pat

Kes, Lick Creek church and cemetery, also known as old prairie, was supposed to have been built along an early stage coach road and was a cemetery for early settlors and travelors. The church was torn down in the summer of 2002. I have some photos a listmember took while the destruction was going on. I haven't been there to check it out--it is a long way in the boonies. It is actually in Harelds Prairie twp, not Indian Creek. I don't see any Blackards in the cemetery listing for the cemetery, but few stones from the 1830s survive. Cindy

Am wondering if anyone has any information on what happened to Ivy Warthen (md. Crabtree and they divorced). Ivy was born abt 1884 and married young. She did have a son and he died at about 3 yrs of age. I think her father may have been Walter.

Greeting all -- Three weeks after the initial announcement, the Genealogy Society has 59 members (as of yesterday)! We've received lots of charts, and quite a few queries for the Newsletter, so it seems we're off to a blazing start. Many of you have asked what you can do to help when you're so far away, and we'll probably be contacting you either by email or snail mail, but for now, I'd suggest that sending in queries for the Newsletter - it's a "mini" way to get your information out and to make contacts. Another thing that would help would be submitting anecdotes of your research experiences, or amusing things that have happened during your ancestor quest. Short articles are great, but longer articles are acceptable too... this is YOUR Newsletter, and can be an excellent forum for White County researchers to communicate! Our next Director's meeting will be January 14, at the meeting room of the Old National Bank in Carmi. We'll begin at 4:30, and though we don't have programs, there should be a lively discussion of logistics, what the Newsletter should contain, and who's doing what, as well as a search for some place to store all these beautiful charts and supplies, etc. All our meetings are open meetings, so you're invited to attend if you wish - your suggestions will be welcome! And for those who can't attend, there WILL be a ful report in the February Newsletter, so you won't miss a thing! Meanwhile, we welcome more queries (remember, the deadline is January 13), articles, ideas, suggestions, etc...etc...etc... And now I have to get back to making out all those charter member cards!
