Hardin County Genealogy Society’s annual Pioneer Family Association Banquet was held at the Elks Lodge in Kenton on May 5. President Kathy Hines inducted 4 new members to the Pioneer Family Association. Our new members and 2 returning members have brought 23 more pioneer ancestors into our rolls.
Total attendance for the evening was 48 Pioneer Family Association members and/or members of the Hardin County Genealogy Society. Larry Huffman from Lima was the guest speaker.
