VERNON — Alum- ni from the former Mt. Ver- non High School are seeking and compiling material for a book on the history of Mt. Vernon. Proceeds from sales of the book will go toward the Mt. Vernon Scholarship Fund, to be awarded to senior students living in the Mt. Vernon area. The community once had several sawmills, a dredge, box factory, two grocery stores and a grist mill, and was the site of the ¿ rst *rant County Fair. Organizers are seeking family stories and other help for this project, which will preserve local his- tory. Information on business- es, families, school events or anything else that would be of interest to readers is welcome. Organizers plan to meet every couple of weeks to dis- cuss local events and poten- tial items for inclusion in the book. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. The deadline for submit- ted material for the book is May 1, so the book can be edited and sent to the printer by next fall and ready to sell.
