FOX
HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
PROGRAM
NOTES FOR FEBRUARY 8, 2003
The
meeting was held at Fox Hill Central United Methodist Church, Social Hall
Our
guest was Mrs. Virginia Rollins, who had graciously written about Fox Hill in
her newspaper article the first week of February. She encouraged our historical
society to continue our pursuits of history and genealogy of Fox Hill and begin
our meetings with prayer
She recommended that everyone keep a journal about his or her lives in
Fox Hill.
Everyone remembers events and happenings in different ways. Your
viewpoint is important to our society. She also recommended that each person
make a family history book with pictures, birth certificates, marriage licenses,
wills, deeds, awards, Bibles, etc any document about your family members. They
need to be on acid free paper/protective sleeves, and all pictures identified
(names, place taken, and date).
We were encouraged to continue researching unique places and developments
that happened in Fox Hill. Such as: Where is the Indian Stone that was last
mentioned in 1760 land records. Back River Light House, North End Point (Factory
Point), Harris Creek, and other topics of interest. Members need to pick a place
or family and learn all you can about that particular place or family. Become
the expert on that subject. Bring it to the group and share your research,
preserve your work, and help your society work towards its goals and objectives.
