Celia was a significant Hopkins County historian whose research spanned decades. Much of it during the critical 1950’s timeframe when Hopkins County was celebrating its Centennial with a zealous desire to preserve its early history. Her writings are the result of years of study and painstaking research. They include histories of local churches, places, and pioneer family histories that were compiled from correspondence with descendants. That research appeared as columns for various publications including The Daily News-Telegram and Hopkins County Echo.
