August 14, 2025 – It is that time of year again! In August of each year, the Hopkins County Genealogical Society and the Hopkins County Historical Society hold a joint meeting. This meeting is in lieu of the regular monthly meeting for HCGS, which is usually held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. So, please note carefully the change in the date and time for this meeting………………………
On Thursday, August 28th, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., in the Winniford Building at Heritage Park, 416 Jackson St., Sulphur Springs, Texas, Paula Altenbaumer will portray Sulphur Springs born Native American, Sophia Alice Callahan. Sophia was born in Sulphur Springs January 1, 1868 and died in Muskogee, Oklahoma January 7, 1894. She is thought to be the first Native American to publish a book.
This is a free event and everyone is welcome! Paula is an active member and volunteer with both the Hopkins County Genealogical Society and the Hopkins County Historical Society. She has taken on the persona of many Hopkins County pioneers over the years and has never failed to deliver a delightful presentation. We look forward to seeing you there.
