East Central History Highlighted by East Central State College Expert
Members of the Pontotoc County Historical and Genealogical Society met at Mrs. HasKarl’s home to hear Tom Wood of East Central State College recount the college history from 1909 as a normal school to its current status. He named Robert S. Kerr and Ernest McFarland as early Congressmen, noted presidents Briles through Wagner, and described programs from nursing to ROTC. A Kerr Foundation gift aims to fund half the Ada Reed Hemler monument project, with the Society funding materials and freight, plus a bake sale to finish financing the market commemorating Ada’s namesake.
