WHAT Was New in Louisa County 2012

22 Dec 2012 - revised and corrected error in Van Dougen, Joanna andAlbert B. Ceurvorst marriage of 27 Sept. 1854.  Previously,had both names as Albert B. in both cross indexed entries.

1 Dec 2012 - an item of interest in a Washington county newspaper dated 9 February 1859 mentions the founding of the Enterprise at Columbus City. Since we have a newspaper history page written by Ann Cotter when she was in college, where she mentions that little could be found onthe Enterprise, it was decided to begin a new page of early news tidbits or clues of early events found in old newspapers from both Louisa County and neighboring counties with Louisa news items.

18 Nov 2012 - Revised Cotter High School, page. Added some missing spouse names and linked to a complete set of graduation photos.

18 Nov 2012 - Added new class photo index page of Cotter High School Graduates1924-1957.  High school existed as a separate entity for 33 years and then was consolidated with Columbus Community Schools. Uploaded 33 photo pages. submitted by Norma Jennings
