My mother found this going thru her files. Would you all like to have?
Did you know there is a small graveyard in Springs with only one stone? The reason is an African American is buried there. Thomas J. Davis, 1828--1902. Blacks were not allowed to join the army at the start of the Civil War. But they were allowed to join the navy because of their long history in the whaling industry. He served on the Heliotrope. There is much more info on this that Hugh King dug up. I found this out when I was invited to someone's house and going up a very long drive I noticed the lone gravestone. No one seemed to know anything about it. Which I found sad that no one seemed to care enough to find out. Anyway. My hostess contacted Hugh and he found a lot of info on this native son. If the Society is interested, I will forward his findings.

What Libraries Mean To The American Dream
Last year, an economics professor suggested killing off the public library and replacing it with Amazon. The backlash was swift – and it’s ongoing. Why? Libraries are free, providing a refuge for everyone, and helping those disenfranchised gain more and more agency – and more: “Libraries are the cornerstones of democracy, where all people—regardless of income, race and religion—are welcome. To me, they’re also the one place where I truly feel at home.” – LitHub
Its friendly atmosphere. The historic building in the Heart of Springs. Of course it’s books. They always have new books arriving. The volunteers are great.
We've received new books! They are: The Moon Sister by Lucinda Riley, The New Iberia by James Burke, The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff, The Chef by James Patterson, Dear Mrs. Bird by A J Pearce and The Wartime Sisters by Lynda Loigman. See you soon!!!
The Board of Trustees of the Springs Historical Society is putting out a call to its members and their friends, asking for help in finding a local web designer who would be willing to donate his/her time and expertise in setting up a combined web site for the Society and Springs Library.
As with many other non-profit organizations, we feel a web presence is vital in keeping the community informed of what we have to offer, opening a dialog with the community and maintaining and expanding a robust membership.
The site would include pages with headings such as: Home, About, Membership, Events Calendar, Historical Archives, and Library, in addition to others suggested during development. We hope to have the site up and running before the Summer.
Keeping our desired late Spring launch date in mind, anyone interested in offering their services can email Kevin Kennedy at
[email protected] with ’SHS Web Proposal’ in the subject line.
Please include the following in your response:
1. Your contact information (full name, address, email and phone number).
2. A summary of your web design experience with links to finished projects.
3. A list of the platforms and programs you use in your development work.
4. If you’ve had experience with community non-profits or similar organizations.
5. Please respond by February 28th.
Thank you for your continuing support.
