"Buried Secrets" at Historical Society Meeting
Posted on January 24, 2013
This Sunday at 2 p.m., author and historian Danny Nichols will present a program, “Buried Secrets,” about the exploration of historic graveyards to the Giles County Historical Society at the First National Bank Community Room.
Nichols is a charter member of the Cannon County historical society and co-founder of the Auburntown Historical Society, where he led that organization to the publication of two books. Family history has always been at the core of his historical interests and he published the Nichols Family History in 2005.
While growing up near a family cemetery he became interested in the history contained within cemeteries. He has been particularly interested in finding the graves of his family members and those of his wife, Giles Countian Claudia Johnson. In presenting “Buried Secrets”, he hopes to encourage other people in this type of historical research and efforts in preservation.
This meeting, which will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday in the First National Bank Community Room is free and open to the public.
