MURRAY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY RECEIVES GRANT FOR COLLECTIONS PROJECT

In 2019, an amazing donation was made to the Murray County Historical Society by Margaret Lichty – ten banker boxes full of documents relating to the Dinehart and Holt families. Letters, photographs, reports, newspaper clippings, journals, and more! These documents were in Lichty’s possession because she is the daughter of Robert Holt, Jr., granddaughter of Florence and Robert Holt, Sr., and greatgranddaughter of Flora and Christopher Dinehart. After years of being held by the family, Lichty wanted the documents to come home to Murray County where they could be used for research. After assessing the size of the collection, the Murray County Historical Society (MCHS) applied for a grant to fund the proper sorting, inventory, and housing of these amazing documents.
