If you are referring to "Cumberland Lore", it is published by the Leaf-Chronicle but I don't know the publication dates (it's an insert in the daily newspaper). Mrs. Ursula passed away in Dec. 1992. Eleanor Shepherd Williams is now the official Historian of Montgomery County. I've not seen any of Mrs. Ursula's books for sale in some time. (That's not to say there aren't any. I just haven't seen any.) What book(s) are you interested in? Sandy Ellis

Sandra: The publication I referred to is just a small magazine titled "Cumberland" published by McQuiddy Pub. Nashville. Publisher & Sr. Editor James D Lester, Editor Pam Roberts. So if you are not familiar with it maybe it didn't last very long. In my genealogy searching I have become fascinated with Clarksville/ Montgomery Co. history. On the last page are listed books about the Cumberland. Mrs. Beach has several on the list: "Along the Warioto: A history of Montgomery County, Tennessee" 1964 rpt.1965 by McQuiddy, "Clarksville Edition of the National Trade Review, 1895" reprint compiled by Mrs. Beach 1977 Print by Christoph Prt.. "Picturesque Clarksville, Past and Present" by Mrs. Beach and Ann E. Alley, McQuiddy 1973 with 522 pages for $15.00! There are several more compilations of cemetary records, census, tax lists with Mrs. Alley (Adams, Tn.). I wonder if any of these might be in the library. Thanks for any help. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure if the magazine is still in publication. The books are at the Clarksville-Montgomery Co. Public Library. (During that time period, Mrs. Alley also published the "Montgomery Co. Genealogical Journals" that you might be interested in.) They were available for purchase from several book sellers and may be available on interlibrary loan. (I don't know where you live or if you have access to the local library.) I work for Mrs. Ursula's step-grandson and several months ago I asked about some of her books. He asked if I needed copies of them so the family might have some available. (I didn't want copies because I already have many of them-----I am interested in obtaining permission to put them on the internet.) By the way----for anyone that is in the Clarksville area or will be here on May 5th: Friends of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library is having a genealogy workshop that day. Details are on the library's web site at www.clarksville.org The people conducting the workshops include Irene Griffey, David Smith, Jill Hastings-Johnson, Eleanor Williams, Gregory Poole, Timothy Pulley, Robert (Bob) Lewis, and Cleo Hogan-----a pretty impressive bunch of people if you want information about local history or genealogy. There will also be bookseller tables available---maybe Mrs. Ursula's books will be among them. (I'm not associated with any of these people in any way. I just noticed the announcements in various places but have not seen it mentioned on the list.) Sandy Ellis

Sandra: Thanks for the information. Will follow up on the library. Since I am in Florida will go local, but am planning a trip sometime in May so will also make use of the library there. Have a good week-end. And thanks again. Jo.... Sandra Ellis wrote: > I'm not sure if the magazine is still in publication. > > The books are at the Clarksville-Montgomery Co. Public Library.
