Genealogical Society meets Nov. 12

This meeting, Nov. 12, will include guest speaker Nancy Allday, who will tell about her great-grandparents, Cornelius and Gertrude Curtright. Cornelius was with Hood’s Brigade in the Civil War, surviving many of the biggest battles, such as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga.

Afterwards, they were both active in local Cass County affairs. Gertrude was a postmistress at Cusseta, organized the Atlanta UDC chapter, and campaigned for the Civil War monument on the courthouse square in Linden.

Cornelius and Gertrude Curtright are buried in the Floyd Hill Cemetery.

The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. and we hope that as many of you as possible will join us for this interesting and informative monthly meeting in the Fellowship Hall of the First United Methodist Church of Queen City, Texas at the corner of Marietta and Fourth Streets.

We always serve a light meal and beverages and the public is invited.
