My brothers are ecstatic that Dad's work is now on display for all to see. If I can get to the other boxes, there are many many more to share with you. Thanks for the chance to let Dad be apart of the website. If I could put together the history notes that he had.. what a wonderful book it would make, but I am not smart enough in the history of Gallia County to ever get them together. He loved Gallipolis , its people... and its history. Henny Evans <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks so much!! I just checked them out myself and I think they are a fantastic contribution.

Assisted by veterans’ organizations and concerned citizens, JCOGS has cleared the cemetery of brush, repaired vandalism damage, restored fractured or leaning gravestones and located approximately 30 more gravesites that had become completely buried. The cemetery contains the only remaining ancient Hopewell Indian mound in Jackson. JCOGS began the project in late 2005 and hopes to install a period fence around the cemetery to protect it against further desecration.

I have noticed too many queries lately to any Roots web list asking for any information of a person with no dates. As a researcher I could be looking in the 1900s for a person who may have died in the 1800s. So please add a date or range of years to any query.

I'm sending this so everyone can be aware. Teresa -------Original Message------- From: Bill Laidlaw Date: 5/2/2007 2:07:19 PM To: Teresa Herrmann Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Urgent message about your state budget Dear Teresa, The Ohio House of Representatives missed an opportunity to make improvements to the Ohio Historical Society budget when it voted on the $52 billion state budget Tuesday. Instead of boosting funding for OHS operations, the Ohio House reduced the amount that Governor Strickland had proposed for Ohio Historical Society operations, leaving the vast majority of our operations at level funding. The House reductions were taken from the Societys 60 historic sites and museums. These cutbacks follow several years of state budget reductions or funding well below inflation, severely reducing the Societys purchasing power. The revised House budget left numerous funding challenges and opportunities unmet. Some of these missed opportunities include: ? The State Archives remains the poorest funded, least accessible and has the lowest staffing level in the nation. ? The Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OHPO) funding still falls well short of the states 40 percent match needed to fund the OHPO. ? The establishment of a competitive matching grants program for local history-related organizations remains unfunded. ? There are no planning funds for the states Civil War Sesquicentennial. ? Funding for the states historic sites, vital to promoting Ohios heritage tourism, remain insufficient (and were actually reduced). ? Investments in history education programs and history collections are inadequate. Now the budget is in the hands of your state senator. Please join with us to ensure that the Ohio Senate does not lose this opportunity to make much-needed improvements to the Ohio Historical Society budget. By clicking here, you can find your state senator and send him or her an e-mail message about the Ohio Historical Society budget. But that might not be enough! The state budget is very tight and additional funding is hard to come by. A personal phone call or handwritten note could make a very big difference to your state senator.
