"The Books are here." said Maxine Brewer,
President of the Wolfe County Woman’s Club, as she proudly displayed
the newest book in the Club’s Wolfe County History Book series.
The latest volume of the History of Wolfe County
contains another 537 pages of Wolfe County history and genealogy. The
book is published in a special navy blue hardback edition embossed in
silver. Ms. Brewer said, "We’ve worked hard to produce two new
books in the past two years. We are very pleased not only with the
content, but with the quality and attractiveness of the books."
The book’s editor, Thelma Carroll Rice, said the
twenty-nine articles of genealogy and history contain nearly 15,000 more
names to help piece together the County’s past. She added, " Most
of the material has never been published before." Ms. Rice praised
the authors for their tireless research and their willingness to share
their findings with others.
Billye Adams, a member of the Club’s History Book
Committee and the County Librarian, said, "Many people have used
our first two books to trace their family genealogy. Our third volume
continues the important work of documenting Wolfe County’s past."
