Roxanne Smith has created a marvelous website for Grant County at: http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm. Prairie City is covered quite well there - I just went there to check it out & the names bring back such wonderful memories of our years there. You can find the Grant County Genealogical Society's president's name & email address at the bottom of that website. (I was a member when we started that society.) Years ago we visited my dentist, Virgil Belknap in Idaho, before we moved to Prairie City. He told me he was born there & indeed his father was a prominent Prairie City doctor. My little granddaughter used to call it "Pretty City" and that's very appropriate! Grant County people are wonderful & I miss them. ~Gerrie In a message dated 11/20/2009 12:44:18 P.M.
