Members from the Shelby County Historical Society will be going to the Forbis Cemetery in Short Community. There are several graves dating back into the early 1800s and several marked as confederate soldiers' graves. We will be taking photos and recording the markers. If anyone know anymore info. please leave it at the Shelby Co. Museum. ================= A project that will soon be undertaken by the Society and other interested parties is a Historical Marker Program. This markers will identify historically significant people, buildings, places or events. Along with the marker will be a coordinating numbering system. This will allow people to tour and drive by the sites. Plans are also to develop a cassette tape that goes along with the stops. Sign design and everything is in the early stages of development. If anyone has any advise or ideas, please contact John Warner at the Museum, 409-598-3613. It is important that the signs be simple and easily read from the roadside. Also they need to be blend into their surroundings. Early estimates have the signs costing approx.. $30. An example would be to mark a site like the German Prison Camp or the home site of someone important.
