ELMER'S GENEALOGY
LIBRARY
Largest Private Genealogy Library in the
Southeastern United States is Leaving
Madison, Florida and Moving to Homerville,
Georgia. |

_small.JPG) Elmer's Genealogy Library in Madison, Florida, established by Elmer
C. Spear will be merging with the Huxford Genealogical Library in
Homerville, Georgia in 2010. The merged Library will be housed in
Homerville, Georgia.
This merger has already been approved by the
Board of Directors of both libraries, and the transfer of over 30,000
books, nearly 4,000 rolls of microfilm and over 10,000 sheets of
microfiche will start taking place as soon as the City of Homerville
completes the renovation of the building that will house both libraries.
The City of Homerville provides utilities as well as housing for
the Huxford Genealogy Library and will continue to do so. Since
Elmer's Genealogy Library is a 501 (c) (3) corporation, the library
building on Range Avenue in Madison will also be donated to the Huxford
Genealogical Society.
This decision to merge Elmer's Library with
the Huxford Library was made to ensure the survival of Elmer's Genealogy
Library into the future. If you are a genealogist, you will really
enjoy this new combination library. After the merger, the new
library will be the finest private genealogical library in the
southeastern United States. The existing Huxford Library (and the
new Huxford - Spear Library) is an IRS 501 (c) (3) tax exempt
corporation, so donations are tax deductable. The Huxford Library
has been in business since 1972 and is financially and structurally
sound; the merger only makes this Library stronger.
There are two Bed and
Breakfast establishments in Homerville and this small Georgia town,
located between Waycross and Valdosta on U.S. Hwy. 84, welcomes genealogists with open
arms. Genealogy draws a lot of out-of-town visitors to this small
town which really appreciates it. Homerville is easily reached
from both I-10 and I-75. See Map.
Elmer's Genealogy Library members will be extended an invitation to
transfer their membership to this new and larger library.
The new
library will be named the Folks Huxford and
Elmer Spear Genealogical Library. This new library will be
managed by the Huxford Genealogical Society.
