Communication during the 1918 Influenza Pandemic
 Interesting bit of history. Florida is briefly mentioned in the article about telephones during the 1918 influenza epidemic. |
Carolyn Wrenn Harvey 1946 - 2020
This week we lost a dear friend and valued member of the Wakulla County Historical Society. I first met Carolyn when my husband and I moved to Wakulla County in 1975 and she was working at the Woodville post office. She had a warm personality, a friendly face and liked to talk as much as I do. She was one of the first friends I made here, and when I stopped to check mail, we often chatted over kids, family and, of course, genealogy! I cannot do better than the obituary her family published to describe her. She is and will truly be missed by everyone who knew her. Our deepest sympathies go to her beloved family.  |
Cancellations and Closures
Dear WCHS Members and Friends, The Museum & Archives in Crawfordville will be closed this week and next week. We will re-assess things at the beginning of April and will let you know when we reopen. The Wakulla County Public Library has cancelled all meetings for the month of April. Therefore, we will not have our regular program in April, but hopefully we will be back on by May. Also, you might want to tune in tomorrow night at 8pm to watch "Apalachicola's Historic Squares" on the PBS program Local Routes! Let's all try and stay well during this time. Thank you. |
Genealogy Group - March 2020
Sarah has been doing genealogy for about 10 years now. She became interested when her grandmother, who had done extensive research on the family, passed that information along to her. Five years ago, she started to volunteer on WikiTree and eventually got asked to work for them a year ago. Sarah was born and raised in Miami and moved to the Tallahassee area two years ago with her husband. Her ancestry consists of English, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Please bring your laptop if you have one. We look forward to seeing you there.

 It is still a work in progress, so be patient. Also, these issues are limited to a collection that was donated to us, so not all dates are included. |
