FAMILY HISTORY: The Story of The Smiths and The Andersons
ChatBy Perry A. Smith Sr.
Creation does not occupy a great deal of space in the Bible. The Bible clearly teaches that the universe, and all matter had a beginning and came into existence through the will of the Eternal God.

Obituaries Now Available Online…
LinkWhen family members pass away, a lot of work goes into creating the obituary and funeral programs to help memorialize them. Often we distribute them to family and friends that were not able to attend the service or even keep them for ourselves.
The programs themselves house a lot of history and I wanted a way to keep them all together so anyone can view them. You can now view family obituaries and funeral programs online. The Obituaries are housed in the “Archives” section of the website. This section will only be complete if you add to it, so if you have any at home that you would like to add, please do so by completing the Census Update form on the site.
