Clarion County Historical Society: The Families of Clarion County, Pennsylvania

Michelle M. Murosky: The McDonald Collection &emdash; Michael McDonald & Anna Haggerty - Golden Wedding Celebration
I am bound to them, though I cannot look into their eyes or hear their voices. 
I honor their history. I cherish their lives. 
I will tell their story. I will remember them.

The Clarion County Historical Society is publishing a new book The Families of Clarion County, Pennsylvania in commemoration with the 60th anniversary of the society.  

The Clarion Historical Society Website indicates that the book will include the history and stories of Clarion County families, communities, churches, schools, businesses, farms, clubs, memorials, tributes, organizations, and much more.

The Clarion County Historical Society is encouraging family historians to submit family histories. The historical book will only be available for purchase on a Pre-Sale basis. The book will be hard backed with gold lettering and is anticipated to be between 200-300 pages. To learn more or order a copy visit the website
