CCGS meeting is set April 26

The Catawba County Genealogical Society will hold its next meeting Tuesday, April 26th at 6:30 p.m. in the upstairs Conference Room of Patrick Beaver Memorial Library in Hickory. CCGS member Kay Muender will present a program on her recently completed research of the people buried in Hickory’s Oakwood Cemetery. Kay used the CCGS published transcription of the grave markers at Oakwood as a basis for her project, then expanded on that by doing mini-biographies of the deceased through newspaper articles, death certificates and other official records to create a genealogy of those resting on the hillside at Oakwood. It’s remarkable research that will soon be published in the CCGS quarterly Catawba Cousins. This event is a sneak peek at that work. All CCGS meetings are free and open to the public.
