The Farmersville Furlough, a wartime publication, was highlighted at the January Historical Society meeting.

Despite late January’s freezing temperatures, Farmersville Historical Society members gathered to kick off a new year of event planning, fundraising and more.

Also at the meeting, members Winnetta Morrow and Marty Shelton gave a presentation titled “Farmersville in WWII and the 1940s.”

The material for the program was compiled using the society’s oral history documents and “The Farmersville Furlough,” a compilation of WWII-era newsletters.
