Jean Wallis wrote a wonderful article about the Hibben family of Hillsboro on Oct. 5, 2001. The article followed a "ghost walk" evening of presentations held at the Hillsboro cemetery in Sept. The Southern Ohio Genealogical Society in Hillsboro and the Highland House Museum do a great job collecting and presenting information about past residents of Highland County.

At one time, Jean Wallis, was doing a weekly column that was sort of a Genealogy & Historical combination for the paper. I am not sure if she is still doing that or not since I move from Highland County about three years ago. Also, many of the local (town) communities still do write-ups about their areas that is a tradition that has gone back about 100 years in the county. They usually tell of who came to visit who and anniversaries & birthdays being celebrated in their areas.
