EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, April 1, 1958 JACKSONVILLE Move Planned for Library By MRS. CARL S. HOSKINS Jacksonville The Jackson ville branch of the county li brary, located in the historical U. S. Hotel building on Main st, in Jacksonville, which was recently condemned for public use, will be moved in the near future. The new site will be the old Brunner building, built in 1855, the oldest brick building in town in which, it is related, the wom en and children took refuge dur ing the Modoc Indian wars fought in this area. At a recent council meeting the building was deeded to the city of Jacksonville in the name of the two remaining Native Daughters, Mrs. H. K. Hanna of Jacksonville and her sister Mrs. G. R. Chapman of Roseburg. The library was established in 1921 by Mrs. Hanna, who ac cording to the record book holds the . first library card issued there. When first established the library was located in the room in the U. S. Hotel now used by the Jacksonville Garden club, and later moved to the room in the hotel it now occupies. Ac cording to Ray Wilson, council man and chairman of the project, it is hoped to have the Brunner building ready for use by May 1. R. E. Welch and Jack Long will do the work planned ' on the building at this time, with fur ther remodeling to be done as funds permit. t . Jacksonville's library has some 2,000 books of its own and the townspeople have long enjoyed its convenience and friendly at mosphere. The picturesque Brun ner building will, it is felt, be an ideal site for the library's con tinued successful public service. According to Mrs. Fred Edens, committee member of the Jack sonville Band Booster's club, their recent rummage sale was a success, clearing $114.
