Bemis Historical Society will hold a monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 18, at 6:00 p.m. at the Bemis Mill Village Museum located at 2 North Missouri Street in Jackson.
Jamie Carden Boone will present “Find Your Bemis Ancestors – Genealogy Research Tips.” Census records will be explored to show what you can find to tell the stories of your family and old neighborhood friends. One discovery will be the “other” medical doctor in Bemis from 1900 – 1940 who was recognized nationally for his work during the Spanish flu in Bemis – Dr Andrew E. Brown (1859-1949).
