Does anyone know who is the head of the Grimes County Historical Association? How would I get in touch with them? I have an address but I'm not sure if it is correct. I would like to see if they would contribute some things for the website. Thanks, Eleanor Colson TXGRIMES list admin.
Eleanor When I was doing research in Anderson last year, I was told that the gentleman that had a second hand store,( next to the cafe, across from the courthouse), was the county historian. I do not remember his name, but I'm sure they can tell you at the courthouse in Anderson.

********Please respond to Betty at [email protected] <<My name is Betty Dean Stone, and I am researching Hoke, Dean, Pritchett, Shiflet, Myers,Wilkinson of Grimes Co. Where can I get list of Pankey Cemertery. I live out of state. What do you have on grimes co . Thanks>>
I am grateful for the recent post of Yellow Fever Victims. I found "Mrs. Ringgold" who died Nov. 01, 1867. I had suspected that both Richard Ringgold and his wife, Frances "Fanny" Isabel Ringgold died of the fever about that time because of a document in Butler Co., AL in 1869 stating that Richard Ringgold had died, leaving no widow. Even though a given name was not written by Dr. Kilpatrick, I feel sure that this is 'fanny' because there was not another Mrs. Ringgold in Grimes Co. at the time. She was 81 years of age. Thank you so much, Eleanor. This list will help many people. Regards, Mary Coleman Stewart
