the Recorder of Deeds (Pam) recently made the historical property deed index available on-line, all the way back to the founding of Lawrence County (1845), and this allowed me to learn where my GGG-Grandfather had originally settled. This on-line data may sound like trivia to some, but it is greatly appreciated by myself (and other family tree searchers)

The whole town ' Mt. Vernon' is like driving into a Normand Rockwell painting. White picket fences, manicured lawns and clean clean clean. The court house has been modernized. This is where one pays their taxes, but can't complain when you see how well they have spent and maintained things with your money. Nice job, and people, all the way.
