1923, Benedict Allen football and the DAR

Richland County Public Library recently added 1923 to the Online Obituary Index to The State. It can be accessed through the link to the right or by going to the library's web site: www.myrcpl.com. Click the catalog link and then the Community Resources tab.

The new exhibit in the library's Local History Room is about Benedict-Allen State Fair classic football games from 1924-1938. It looks great. I hope some of you will check it out.

Bonnie Glasgow came to visit the library today. She is the State Regent for the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, South Carolina Society. It was a pleasure to meet her and a pleasure to learn some new things from her. Sharing
information always makes my day.
