Oral History Project
[Above: Samuel J. Bretz farm, Samuel Buehrer on tractor, and George F. Curdes
Family]
The
Henry County Historical Society has amassed over 60 oral histories of citizens
of the county. In the coming months, all of these accounts will be added
to our site. We apologize that we cannot get all these interviews onto our
site right away, but we'll do the best we can.
We are desparately in need of interviewers and transcribers to help us with this project. If you feel that you have some time to contribute to the Society, please contact Charlotte Wangrin at:
Charlotte will be happy to provide you with the needed equipment and give you instructions on its use.
