BRACK: From Germany to Georgia: following the Summerour family

By Elliott Brack  |  Family history books can sometimes be boring for persons outside the immediate family. However, Charles Summerour of Duluth has completed a 10-generation study of his Summerour family that gives good insights into the life of North Georgia, particularly centered on what his family did in gold mining and in farming in the Johns Creek area. It’s a fast read, and keeps readers fascinated by his distinctive family members.

FOCUS: History of first 10 years of Duluth football ready for publication

By Charles Summerour | When two members of Duluth High School’s first football squad brought up the idea of capturing the history of the school’s football beginnings, we all realized that it was important that we do so soon, as many of the school and community leaders as well as a number of players, had passed away. The result is a History of Duluth High School Football: 1959-69, which will soon be published in booklet form.
