County history presentation scheduled for genealogical society meeting
Posted Monday, March 22, at 12:00 AM
County history will be the subject at this Tuesday's Cape Girardeau Genealogical Society meeting.
Scheduled at 7:30 p.m. at the county archive center, 112 E. Washington St. in Jackson, the meeting will feature Conrad Hudson, who moved with his family from Arkansas to Southeast Missouri at the age of 8. In addition to his interest in genealogy and county history, Hudson also served in the US Air Force and earned a degree in business administration from Southeast Missouri State University. For those members of the society wishing to do research on Tuesday, the library will open an hour before the meeting. Membership in the society is $10 per year, though non-members are welcome at the bi-monthly meetings on the fourth Tuesday. For more information, call Bill Eddleman at 335-1507.
