The Cass County Genealogical Society monthly meeting is Thursday, Nov. 10.
Mark Epperson Chapter U.S. Daughters of 1812 members collaborated to produce a book about their patriotic ancestors associated with the American History period 1784-1815. Under the direction of Vice President Toni Turk, the information was collected in looseleaf format so that additional ancestors may be included as they are obtained through new and supplemental applications.Pictured is Toni Turk with the book.
Mark Epperson Chapter U.S. Daughters of 1812 member Linda Henderson, along with grandson Jeremiah Henderson, presented the program at the October chapter meeting. The PowerPoint was the story of the Flag of 1812. Incorporated into the PowerPoint was a very informative YouTube video about conservation/restoration work on the original Flag of 1812 which flew over Ft.McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. This Flag inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the lyrics to what later became our National Anthem. Linda had the privilege of touring the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, while the conservation work was in progress and when the restored Flag was hung in the Smithsonian.
For your convenience, a book drop and a video drop are located behind the library. They look like mailboxes. They are open 24/7.
