Sandra Jones congratulates Van Zandt County Genealogical Society Volunteer of the Year Tom Tyler.
At the Van Zandt County Genealogical Society’s monthly meeting Jan. 23, Tom Tyler of Canton was recognized as Volunteer of the Year for 2015.
Tyler is a regular volunteer librarian at the Van Zandt County Library of Genealogy and Local History. He assists with numerous projects of the society and volunteers to take tombstone photos at local cemeteries in answer to requests through findagrave.com.
A regular feature of the genealogy meetings is a short item of genealogical or historical interest presented by Martha Heard of Canton. This month’s topic was the Teapot Dome Scandal of the 1920s.
An entertaining program was presented by Benja Mize of Canton to install the new officers.
