MoSGA 21st Century Fund “Grant Award” August 5, 2023

So happy and thankful to report that the Clinton County Historical Society received the 21st Century Grant from the Missouri State Genealogical Association on August 5th, 2023 at the State meeting in Columbia, Missouri. The funds will allow us to recreate Helen Russell’s obituary binders. They are currently in a private collection. These binders hold over 30,000 obits from Clinton County, Missouri from 1878-2015 that were indexed by Helen. They will be available when visiting the Riley-Carmack Museum hopefully in three months. We will keep you posted “There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children – one is roots, and the other, wings.” -Hodding S. Carter
