According to a story in the June 18, 2009 issue of the Sebree Banner, a new Webster County Historical and Genealogical Society research room at the Webster County Library in Dixon was opened last week. The library is located at 101 State Route 132E, across from the courthouse in Dixon. Genealogy librarian Susan Smith will be available to help with the center M-F from 9-4. Society members will also be available to help researchers. President of the WCH&G Society is Doug Davis and vice-president is Paul Cowan. The society was organized in 1979 and until recently published a quarterly, The Wagon Wheel, which featured information about the county and various families and events. Davis and Cowan are hopeful that publication of the Wagon Wheel will resume. Roxie Rhea, who has been instrumental in the publication noted that people who have historical documents may submit them for consideration for publication in the quarterly. The Webster County KYGenWeb site long ago gave the society permission to use anything from our site in Wagon Wheel. The society has publications available for sale, including cemetery and church records; ordering information is online at <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kywebste/wch_gs.htm> Next meeting of the WCH&G Society will be this coming Saturday, June 27, at 9 a.m. in the new genealogy room. Membership is open to everyone. The group meets on the fourth Saturday of every month. Have a great summer.
