Thanks to all who have submitted surnames to the researchers' list. The
number is still growing and the page was updated again tonight with new
names. There appears to be a few which seem to invalid email addresses. If
your is incorrect please let me know so I can correct it.

Also, 4 new areas of information data links have been added. Now you can
submit information on Bible Records, Deeds, Pensions and Wills.

The Butler County Heritage Book is in full swing. Individuals having
ancestorial ties to Butler County are qualified for a free printed article
plus a picture. Personal articles, early church histories, etc. everything
interesting about early Butler County. For information about "how to submit
your article" contact George B. Lewis () with your mailing
address and just mention "Brochure" and
you will get the brochure in the mail. Disregard the deadline Oct. 31, The
Book Committee is set to extend it at the next meeting, October 15. Their P.
O. Box is 971, Greenville, 36037.

A new story referencing the school teachers at Brushey Creek will be added to
the Brushey Creek History by Mrs. Lillian Shell Morgan. If you have a
relative, or know someone who did, I would be happy to place a small
photograph of the teacher in the addition. If you or your parents were a
student at this school, I will add a photograph of students if submitted.

Kay Anderson is getting lots of compliments on her story of the W. T. Smith
Lumber Co. She did an excellent job of providing her memories of the lumber
mill with photos to go with it.

Likewise Linda Bratcher McGuire is continuing to provide more photos of the
Bolling area. New photos have been added. She has also provided a few new
photos of Georgiana which will be added the that page in the next few days.

If you have a topic based on the history of Butler County, and would like to
share it, please send it me and we'll attempt to get it attached to the web
site.

Thanks to Homer Jones and Clyde Deavors for helping so much with the memorial
page to the members of the 33rd Ala Vol where were killed in the Cleveland,
TN. train wreck. Four of those who died now have additional information: L.
M. Bush, John Hughes, Charles Scott and William M. Smyth. Thanks to Gene
Cato, Sr. for submitting additional genealogy information on Lovett M. Bush.

Happy Hunting!
