RUSHVILLE — Greetings from the Rush County Genealogical Society! We meet at 11 a.m. the second Saturday of the month at the Rushville Elks. Visitors are always welcome. For this installment, we have no new inquiries. On the bright side, this leaves room to discuss the exciting plans we have for our Nov. 10 meeting. On this date, we will hold our “Election of Officers.” Fun, yes…but this is not what makes the meeting so exciting! Pair an election up with Rushville’s own kilt-wearing, smile-bearing history buff and it becomes a meeting you won’t want to miss! You guessed it! Brian Sheehan will be presenting a program on Rush County history which will include lots of pictures. This is a recipe for regret if you do not attend so we hope to see you there! As always, if you are researching a lost relative and would like to request help, send an email to rushcogs@gmail.com. You can also visit our website at www.rushcogs.com to see a complete list of queries and upcoming events.
