The Murray County Historical Society is excited to welcome William ‘Bill’ Wassenaar as our newest staff member. Bill is a native of Hills, MN but has lived in Slayton for many years and has been a volunteer since the summer 2022. His main duty will be document filing for the museum’s obituary index, which has surpassed over 32,500 entries. Since starting this project in 2017, the obituary index has become a valuable asset to the society’s research library. Bill’s employment is funded by the Senior Community Service Employment Program through the Southwestern Minnesota Opportunity Council. The program provides work-based job training for older Americans. We are excited to have Bill at the Museum. Please stop by the museum to pay him a visit.
