The Stewart County Historical
Commission invites anyone who fails to get a "hit"
on their query to send it directly to the Commission where
we may be able to dig out an answer. We have references
here at the Bedingfield Inn Museum which aren't readily
available elsewhere and spend half our time doing "assists"
for researchers like you. There is no charge unless the
response involves a LOT of copying (then we just ask for
a donation to cover expenses)- a few pages is no big deal.
We also offer the History of Stewart County
Volume I for sale (Vol II is out of print
- we just have one copy for on-site research). For a list
of publications, call, write, or email:
Jim Boling BS, MA
Curator and Inn Manager

FAX (229) 887-2425
email: schc@sowega.net
