What We Are Working On:

Our office is in the process of being painted. Other improvements we're looking forward to are a new floor in the office, restroom renovation & general fixes.
We are now working on a 2nd edition of our "Tully Cemetery Honors Our Veterans" book. In the last year we've discovered some 5 additional vets buried in the cemetery and research is ongoing on their service. Also, recently deceased vets are added as well. We hope to have it available by Memorial Day.
Rec'd new genealogy on the West family from Ed West. Includes many pictures & scans of the West family bible. Wonderful addition to our library.
Our list of Tully Cemetery burials/lot owners has been updated to the end of 2018 from the current cemetery burial records maintained by the supervisor.
Finding the relationships between some 40 people found in a stack of family photos is ongoing from the summer of 2018. Only 8 people remain
Recording & accessioning of newly donated items. (Recent donations: a set of hand bells, an ashtray from the old Tully barbershop, a very nice black & white portrait of the Hartwells (Hartwell Funeral Home) & two new books on Irving Gill). Irving Gill was born in Tully & became an internationally known architect who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright. He is well-known in the San Diego, CA area & is considered the "pioneer of the modern movement in architecture". Read his Wikipedia page click here.
Indexing of the "Stoppard/Willis" scrapbook continues. Recently this scrapbook was completely scanned & marital & obituaries contained in it were uploaded to this website.
Local books on Otisco, Spafford, Preble & Tully have been indexed to make researching for individuals easier.
Updating the Lena Hoag Library card catalog is in progress.
New recent obituaries are added weekly. See 2017-2019 Obituaries. Click this link to view.
