11/30/2008: I receive a lot of requests from citizens asking about the history of particular historic homes in town, so I have decided to build a webpage for each home.  This will be a long and ongoing process.  I will post photos and notes that I have on each house.  Unfortunately I don't have the time to do deed research on the houses currently, so if you have deeds on your house, please email or postal mail me a copy of notes as to prior ownership.  The first house I have added today is 12 Comer Street, built by R.W. Haulbrook.

10/31/2008: Added class roster of MHS Class of 1925, furnished by Jimmy Cooper, son of Journey Cooper and Mildred Underwood Cooper.
