1949 Cotton Belt News, Issue #4 Index

This project is a collaborative effort between three non-profit organizations. The East Texas Genealogical Society (ETGS) contributed volunteer Jeanne Sellers, who compiled all of the indexes. I reviewed and formatted these indexes for both ETGS and the Smith County Historical Society (SCHS). SCHS also supplied approximately half of the magazines and provided the website space to host the project. The Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society – Tyler Tap Chapter contributed the remaining magazines and newsletters, which will be added in a future update.
