History of Extension in Henry County History of Extension in Henry County

4H Agent Cathy Toole displays the 4H Apron made by Rose Barmore in 1935 at the Celebrating Extension Memories program held this past Sunday at Twin Oaks Assisted Living. The apron was an amazing piece of stitchery with French seams and handmade buttonholes and will be used as a learning tool at the current 4H sewing classes being taught.

Over 100 past, present and future Extension Volunteers enjoyed reminiscing over the many 4H Scrapbooks and memorabilia displayed at the Celebrating Extension Memories Program. The purpose of the program was to recognize the many faithful Extension Leaders who have made a proud history for Extension in Henry County. The first Extension Agent in Henry County was Carl Malone who started in 1925 thanks to forward thinking of J.C. Helburn the President of the Eminence Chamber of Commerce who talked the Chamber and our local banks into providing the funding to get Extension started. The Henry County Local provided Carl with office space and a desk and the rest is history!
