Botna Valley Genealogical Society, Pottawattamie County Iowa
BVGS to Meet at Cemetery Monday, May 6, 2024
Botna Valley Genealogy Society will meet at the Oakland, Iowa Cemetery on the east end of Oakland on Monday, May 6th, 2024. We will plan to use this as a work day to pick up around the Cemetery in preparation for Memorial Day visitors. If you have a "grabber" that you can bring along, that might save a bit of bending for you. I believe garbage bags will be furnished, but if you want to bring some along please do. Hopefully it will be a nice day, and we can get a goodly amount of "pick up" done. Hope to see a good turnout on Monday at 1:30 p.m. at the main entrance to the Oakland Cemetery.
Members are encouraged to work in the Genie Room any time the Library is open on projects that need done. Check with your President if you have any questions as to what can be done.

Colleen, I have posted an ad in reference to the Orphan Train that stopped in Oakland in 1904. It is under the tab "Blog/News." Let me know if that is what you were wanting to look for. Barb

Would there be an opportunity for me to visit the genie room to search for information about an orphan train stop in Oakland? Thank you!
