Description

By Carol Hughes Bell and Hilda Grose. For over 100 years the Nicholas Chronicle has recorded the Summersville area history in word and picture. Its notable publishers and editors have helped shape not only the town but the county. It is only fitting, then,
that the visual image of Summersville’s past and people should begin with the Chronicle. Photos were scavenged from backroom and basement files by photo-historians, Carol Bell and Hilda Grose. Publisher, Betty Dilley found a forgotten box of photos deep in her closet. Photos were solicited and history written around photos that “connected” old families with modern ones, gave details to photos which told why they were important, which in turn made the book twice as interesting, twice as valuable. Hardback 8 ½ x 11. 192 pages
