Author Visits WCHS Museum

Longtime WCHS member and author Mary Jo Moore and her husband visited the Williamson County Historical Society. Mary Jo and her husband currently live in Paducah, Kentucky. Mary Jo authored the series of books we use in our library daily entitled “Bits of News.” The series is a collection of 9 volumes covering the years 1919 through 1928 and is based on Marion Daily Republican newspaper transcripts. Another of Mary Jo’s books is a booklet entitled the “The Potter Family Tragedy” which details the Potter family murder suicide that occurred here in Marion in 1926. Mary Joe has also published , “ The Memoirs of William Joseph Caplinger.” Mary Jo was generous enough to allow our society to republish any of her works in the future insuring that the volumes will live on to serve generations in the future.
