Alexandria-Monroe Historical Society Museum Visit

Yesterday on my lunch hour, I visited the Alexandria-Monroe Historical Society Museum located at 313 N. Harrison St. Alexandria Indiana. The museum is run by volunteers and is only open on Thursdays from 1-5 p.m.

It had been many years since I was able to visit the museum, and I was pleasantly surprised at the numerous exhibits and pictures with local history. I found a picture of my uncle Terry Wright in his Boy Scout days, also my great-uncle John High was featured in the military history room.

The local history section was full of tidbits for further research, including local funeral home and church records. I noticed that my cousin had submitted a notebook on the KING family and there were others that I would have loved to have been able to examine, had I more time. I am going to have to plan some quick lunch time research there in the near future.

Membership in the society is only $10/year.

Nellie Lambertson : 1920 Marion Co., Indiana

I found Nellie Lambertson, widow of Samuel, in the 1920 census of the 6th ward of Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN in the 1920 census. She was living on Illinois Street in the David Arms apartments on North Illinois street.

Her occupation was listed as a seamstress for a hotel. Nellie was aged 57, widowed, and born in Massachusetts. Her father was born in New York and her mother was born in Massachusetts.

I still need to discover what Nellie's maiden name was and find a record of her marriage to Samuel, which probably took place between 1909-1910 in either Hamilton or Madison Co., IN.
