Logan County Genealogical Society
will be
closed
for a period of at least two weeks.
The building adjacent to LGHS
sustained a fire Monday night. The smoke
smell from that fire seeped into our
building, the fire-fighters had to break
through our front door and take down
some ceiling tiles in the workroom to
determine that no fire had spread into
our building. The power company has shut
off our power and that has not yet been
restored. LCGHS has sustained no damage
other than what was done to make sure
our structure was secure.
We need to get a cleaning company
in to filter the smoke smell from the
building, repair the front door and, as
power is restored, check our technical
equipment.
We will let you know if we open
earlier or need to extend the closing
period.

The flag was handmade by women in Middletown for the
Atlanta Wide Awakes float.
Later, it was cloaked over Abraham Lincoln’s
shoulders during a Springfield parade
when he was candidate for President in 1860.

Lincoln College held its first Hooding
Ceremony for graduate students last Friday,
December 10. The event marked the first time
since 1919 Lincoln College has honored
master’s degree candidates. Sixteen
students from the graduating cohort were
hooded for their completion of the Master of
Science in Organizational Leadership or
Master of Business Administration degrees.
The institution announced the return of
master’s degree options in 2019 as part
of ongoing efforts to return to its
roots as Lincoln University. Lincoln
College was chartered as Lincoln
University and offered baccalaureate and
master’s degrees from 1865-1919. Since
2015, the institution expanded its
degree offerings, transitioned to
four-year athletics competing in the
National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA), remained committed to
affordability via the price match
guarantee, and most recently, announced
in-demand online programs.
"Degrees in Business and Organizational
Leadership provide a wide range of
career opportunities, preparing Lincoln
College students for success
post-graduation,” said David Gerlach,
president of Lincoln College.
