The Shelby County Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting on October
15, 2019 at 2:00 P. M. in the Shelby County Museum on Pecan Street. The speaker
this month will be Mrs. Fannie Watson. She will be speaking on the history of
our 1885 Shelby County Historic Courthouse. Mrs. Fannie taught school for many
years, most of those years in the Center School District, and did extensive
research on the Historic Courthouse with her gifted and talented students. It
will be interesting to hear what they found in their search. Everyone is invited
to attend.
