NEW: Genealogy Book Club Formed
With the 2025 year before us, we have decided to form
the Marion County Genealogy Book Club for anyone interested. The Book Club will meet on the first Tuesday
of each month at 1:00 pm. at the Bryan-Bennett Library. Use the East entrance on S. Maple St. We look forward to meeting together at our organizational meeting on
March 4 to discuss ideas that would help make the
book club what the group would like to experience.
