The Marshall Genealogy Library

This is the Marshall Genealogy Library, it's actually quite large and has amazing information in it. People just donate all kinds of things, the funeral home gives them copies of all of their death records, people have donated old scrapbooks, journals and family Bibles to name a few things. The library is run by volunteers and so isn't open often but the ladies that work their are absolutely incredible! They are sweet, helpful, knowledgeable, encouraging and a pleasure to associate with. We were given the most attentive help from Miss Betty but everyone was lovely. They accept and very much need donations although they did not solicite any ever. They also have a newsletter that anyone can sign up for. One of the best things about small towns is that everyone knows everyone and Marshall is no exception. They were able to point us in all kinds of directions because of their personal knowledge of the town and it's people. I was really tickled to find that Miss Betty had her wedding reception at my aunt Doty's house probably 50 years ago. At the Stars and Stripes store I discovered that the owner knew my aunt Doty as well, she had helped her pick out her wedding dress! Doty knew EVERYONE!
