Fire Destroys Records

The fire occurred Thursday night, September 18, 1997 in the brick building located on Highway 137, west of Butler.  Many county records had just been inventoried by Diane Renfro and moved there in preparation for microfilming.

Even the inventory list was lost in the fire, but some known burned were: 1964 Tax Digest (although a duplicate is in the Courthouse);   Civil Dockets 1863 & 1868;
Criminal Dockets 1870 & 1872;   Complete Records 1910's;  Book of Notaries 1930's; Generaly Exec Docket 1940's; Ledge 1890's.  The oldest known records were from 1838.

After the fire the books and loose records were very wet. A freezer truck was rented and all records were frozen to prevent further damage.  The County sent 358 books to be cleaned on Oct 13, plus a stack of maps from the Soil Conservation Service.








Taylor County RECEIVES $7,500 GRANT FOR MICRO FILMING, PRESERVATION AND STORAGE OF RECORDS

In three years, tropical storm Alberto and courthouse fires in 1995/1996 put county records at risk.

This grant and matching funds from the county of $13,648 will provide a total of $21,648 for records inventory, processing and vital records program analysis and planning.

Winston Walker, Archivist, from Upson Co. will act as consultant.
