Fundraiser to benefit genealogy group Transcript Staff The Cleveland County Genealogical Society is selling notecards depicting scenes from over 100 years ago. The cards portray what Cleveland County was like in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Several communities are featured including Norman, Moore, Noble, Lexington and Box.
"We rely on fundraisers to help us meet expenses," said Mary Lewis, president. "We don't get state, federal or local funding. Our sole income is from membership dues and donations, so, it takes fundraisers like this to bring in enough to keep our doors open. The collection is "The Early Days of Cleveland County, Oklahoma Territory." There are 10 cards in each pack and each has a different historical photo along with a short history telling about the significance of that photo. Cards are cream colored with photos in sepia tones. Packets of the cards and envelopes sell for $10. They can be purchased at the CCGS Library, or can be mailed for an additional $3. "These are really elegant cards and would be nice for anyone to use," said Lewis. "They're especially great for gifts and Christmas isn't too far away." For more information or to get an order form, call 701-2100, 1-5 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. They also can be found online at the CCGS Web site www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okccogs/. All proceeds from card sales will go to benefit CCGS, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and the CCGS library.
