Area Historical Society's float won "Most Creative"
in the Walkertown Christmas Parade on Dec 3, 2011. The backdrop
banner was an image of our new history book's cover.
Bobby
Knouse led float construction and
Mike Westmoreland pulled it with his beautiful tractor. People
on the float - Katie, Samantha and Cindy Halstead, Haley and
Linda Jackson, Carol Fuller, Emiee Knouse, Rene Roberts, Devan
Mabe and Wallace Baird - were dressed in period costumes
designed and fabricated by Linda Jackson. |

The State
Library of North Carolina and the State Archives looking for
records in family Bibles. The library and
archives are especially interested in Bibles that include
records with dates before 1913. That's because a statewide vital
records law took effect that year, meaning that previous to
1913, family records were the best way to keep track of births,
deaths, marriages and other important dates.
The two agencies have created a digital collection called North
Carolina Family Records online, which transcribes and digitizes
nearly 220 family Bible records and the six-volume "Marriage and
Death Notices from Raleigh Register and North Carolina State
Gazeteer: 1799-1893."
Anyone interested in donating Bible records should contact
Druscie Simpson at
Druscie.Simpson@ncdcr.gov. |
