Joyce Clayton attended the monthly meeting of the Marshall County Genealogical Society on Saturday, March 23. She brought my copy of the newsletter, prepared and printed by editor Sylvia (Seymour) Akin. It was a fantastic edition complete with 20 pages of history from the county. To receive a copy of the newsletter, become a member of the Genealogical Society. Meetings are held at the Marshall County Library in Holly Springs on the fourth Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m. Margaret Hart and I were guests of her daughter, and my niece, Sherry Colhoun, on Saturday, March 23, for a Ladies Spring Brunch and Woman’s Missionary Union program at the Kate Freeman Clark Art Gallery in Holly Springs. It was a great program. Tables were beautifully decorated in the spring motif by the W.M.U. ladies. Guest speakers were Maddie Gresham and Maria Teel, with a short program on Women of the Bible by the W.M.U. ladies. Joan Gurley, Nancy Green, Margaret Hart, Sue Rowland, Christine Epting and I visited the Union County Heritage Museum last week to view the Folk Art Exhibit that concluded on Wednesday of last week. It was amazing to see all of the creations by amateur artists. Plans are to have another Folk Art Exhibit at a later time. A very good article with photos was written about John and Judy Forester in the Lifestyles section of The Daily Mississippian in Oxford on February 14. The title was “From puppy love to anniversaries: Meet the Foresters.” It was a Valentine’s Day story. John and Judy will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary on June 2.
