	There is an article in today's Middletown Journal (02.12.09) concerning this museum. I can't seem to find it on their web site. Maybe someone else can. They are looking for articles/donations, etc. It will be located at the Tried Stone Baptist Church on Lafayette.

	Thanks MadisonMom I contacted the chruch last night and offered them space on my web site since I have lots of black records already on the site. I also talked with Rev. Jordan the other day, he said we had about 8 different black funeral homes in Middletown over the years...I didn't know that!
