The Moultrie County Historical and Genealogical Society will hold their monthly meeting Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Center in Sullivan. The speaker for the evening will be Joan Pound of Sullivan and her program entitled “Moultrie County Men in the Civil War.” She will touch on topics such as: were there southern sympathizers in Moultrie County, the difference in the people in the northern and southern part of Illinois, what role did central Illinois have in Grant getting his start leading the troops, and how to quickly research a Moultrie County Civil War ancestor. A social hour will follow the meeting with refreshments being served.

As always all general meetings are open to everyone, not just members.
