Genealogical Society Meeting
The Clark County Genealogical Society will meet at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday at the Clark County Public Library’s Park Shopping Center Branch, 1119 Bechtle Ave. in Springfield.
The speaker will be Sue Mattinson, former president of the South Charleston Heritage Commission. Sue wrote “Edward Edwards: The Man Who Built South Charleston, Ohio”, which was published in 2021. The book was especially challenging because, other than an obituary, the primary knowledge of him was oral history.
She will describe how she found his mother’s maiden name, which led to a 200-year-genealogy. Sue will also discuss how she identified his 11 children and discovered which three had preceded him in death. In addition, she will talk about the connection that drew him to his second wife, a schoolteacher sixteen years younger than him from Mount Vernon, Ohio. Masks are optional. Guests are welcome.
Champaign County Library Activities
The Champaign County Library will host how to sew a straight line from 12 to 1 p.m. on Saturday at the North Lewisburg branch; and grab and go kits will be provided by the master gardeners that will be available starting Monday.
