Lindley Presho Genealogy and History Blog

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN A COUPLE MESSAGES TO LEARN ABOUT COMING EVENTS ON THESE DAYS. I had saved the message in draft folder until I verified several facts. Smart old computer posted the message for the day I started it instead of when I posted it. Just goes to show -you can't fool the computer!! Anyway- we hope to have some community activities at the Lindley Town Hall on these days. More as we plan the events! Kitty
