The book, Pioneer Folks and Places, published in 1939 by Barbara Barr Hubbs has been re-indexed and added to our new Library Resource Index bringing the references up to 78,913. The new book was put together in preparation for Williamson County’s 100th Centennial celebration in 1939 and is an excellent resource containing references to early villages, pioneers, settlements and landmarks found in the county. A number of references are related to early trails and coal mines. References added break down to:
Acts of God 1, Businesses 282, Churches 75, Crime 1, Government 53, Organizations 13, Places 120, Schools 54 and People 1,773 for a total of 2,372 new references.
It should be noted that the index currently consists of app. 38 books and the Marion City Cemetery. Each book index can be individually filtered by clicking on the small down pointing arrow in Column C, then select “Filter”. You can then select or deselect only the books you wish to see.
