    3. Netta, I'm e-mailing you, since you are shown as the last leader of the Henderson Co. Historical & Genealogical Society, and thought you would be the best source. My deceased cousin, Maxine Keach Alexander, who lived and died in Henderson, said she had given the family bible to Harold Hicks Bennett because he wanted it. (Maxine's mother was Ida Bennett Keach, daughter of James Rankin Bennett b. 6/23/1847 d 12/5/1930, and Laura Love Hicks b. 4/23/1853 d 7/1/1897). I found out recently that Harold Hicks Bennett died in Fayette Co, KY in 1999, and his wife had died in 1988. The question is: does the Henderson Co. Historical & Genealogical Society have the bible and the Bennett info that Harold Hicks Bennett was working on? If not, any suggestions on how to track it down? Harold & his wife had no children... Thank you, and look forward to your response. I plan on visiting Henderson, KY in Sept-Oct when I come to KY for my step-grand-daughter's wedding.
