Donation to Museum of items about Frances Jones Mills
Items pertaining to Frances Jones Mills, a native of Gray in Knox County, Kentucky, were donated to the Knox Historical Museum on December 11, 2017.
Mrs. Mills was a state official in Kentucky for a large portion of the 1970s and 1980s. According to Wikipedia, "she was the first woman and first Democrat in the 20th century to win the office of State Representative for the Knox County, Kentucky district. She was also the first woman to serve three (non-successive) terms as Kentucky State Treasurer."

Here's the museum's collection of the covers of catalogs from the Daniel Boone Festival in Barbourville, Kentucky.
The KHM's collection contains nearly all the catalogs from 1961 through the present and one program from 1954.

Do you have birth records, land records, anything for that time period? Thanks so very much!!!
Hi, I am a member and I think my membership expired in February and I don't think I received any renewal notice. Could you check and if needed, I will definitely send in a check. Thanks so much. Robin Black
I'm really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, its rare to see a great blog like this one these days.
I am thrilled with Elmer's research and was able to get copies of the deeds referencing my 5th great grandfather and 4th great grandfather Dr Nehemiah Roszell (Derosel) and George Marshall because of his great notations! Thanks so much for all the work of all of you.
