Red River County Genealogical Society

Everyone is invited to attend the monthly meeting of the Red River County Genealogical Society, on Monday (Jul 9) at 7:00 pm at the Red River County Chamber of Commerce Meeting Room. Anne Evetts, of Clarksville, is presenting this month’s program. The subject will be “Heritage and Historical Foods.” She has put together a list of several foods that would have been common to ancestors of those living today. She will have items on display to show objects used in cooking and food preparation in earlier days. She is a native Texan, retired from teaching at Clarksville High School and has a great love of history of the Northeast Texas area, primarily interested in diaries, journals and authentic accounts of how the early settlers lived, inheriting the Red River County history bug from her grandfather, past historian, Eugene Bowers, who co-authored the book “Red River Dust.” A graduate of East Texas State University, she is a long time board member of the Red River County Historical Society, and her home is in Clarksville where her family was pioneers. All interested persons are encouraged to come and enjoy the program.
