The slow-moving pace of the Stump Hotel restoration project, was a topic of
discussion at the Calhoun Historical Society. About twenty members attended the
meeting Thursday night at the location of the new Family History Center on Main
Street. Discussion centered on how to move the project ahead, quickly.
Concerns about the organization having funds to pay utilities on the newly acquired
structures, were set aside when local real estate agent Jim Morris offered to pay the
bills for the next year. The group also voted to raise dues to $15 for next years
memberships.
President Bob Bonar gave a report on the restoration of the Stevens School at
Calhoun County Park. He said the entire building had now been caulked and was
ready for painting.

objects will be accepted for placement in the Family History Center or the Stump
Hotel. Concerns have been expressed regarding the limited amount of space.
The Society acknowledged the donation of the Martha Hall Collection by the Hall
family of Sand Ridge.
A gun raffle on a Remington series 710 30-06 is being conducted as a fund raiser, with
tickets being sold for $1.
