Genealogy/Local History Month at Winston County Library
February is Genealogy/Local History Month at the Winston County Library. Each week we will highlight something of interest from our collection to the public. This week we are announcing the acquisition of Rotary Club Newsletters from 1944 in Louisville, MS. Five Rotary Newsletters are included and were mailed to Louisville native Bernard T. Hickman, Sgt. 1st class while stationed at the Naval Hospital Corps School in Bainbridge, MD. These newsletters were mailed to men and women from Winston County serving in the military all over the world.
Louisville Rotary Club officers in 1944 – Walter Bennett, President; Walter Darby, Secretary/Treasurer; Bill Day, Claude Fair Program Chairmen; Bill Bennett, C. P. Thrailkill and Charlie Irwin, co-editors of the newsletter.
Winston County locations mentioned are The Community Center (now the Chamber of Commerce/Economic Development), The Teen Tavern, Blackwood’s Barber Shop, Old Parks Hotel and Doyle Lake.
“The newsletters are quite humorous and speak of so many old family names in Winston County.” said librarian Beth Edwards. “Bass fishing on Doyle Lake; dances at the Community Center; interesting programs at Rotary meetings such as Mr. Charles Fair working for the F.B.I in Cleveland, New York and Detroit; farming conditions in Winston County and so much more.”
Photocopies of the letters are available for the public to read.
