Subject: [LAEASTBA] Meeting:
Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 15:09:56 EDT

Joseph Sumrall will present a program on "How to Inventory a Cemetery" at the
next meeting of the Washington Parish Genealogical and Historical Society. 
Mr. Sumrall has done much work in cemeteries in MS and LA.  Several MS
counties have had his findings compiled into books so that researchers like
ourselves can have ready access to the information. Mr. Sumrall will
demonstrate to us a systematic way of doing an inventory of this type.  (This
program had been planned for an earlier date and had to be postponed.) The
group will also discuss plans for the upcoming display at the Washington
Parish Fair.  We will have an educational display in the Armory Building. 
The display has been planned already.  Some of us will need to work a shift
at the display during fair hours.  Russ Williams will be here also.  He is
excited about being able to be at the display.   In his publications about
Washington Parish history, he likes to use this opportunity to visit with
folks and gain new information. Information about our group, as well as
membership applications, will be available at our booth.  It will also
contain educational materials about genealogical work. Please make every
effort to attend this important meeting of our group.  We will meet at 5:30 pm
at the Bogalusa Branch of the Washington Parish Library.   Our meeting date
is Tuesday, October 9, 2001. Sylvia
