Lisa Romans, marketing and membership manager with the museum, said Pelfrey was initially scheduled to discuss his new book in February, but organizers had to cancel the event due to inclement weather.

Life in Adairsville is a collection of writings by Pelfrey, Alice Butler Howard (1894-1991) and Dan Bowdoin (1923-2009). Much of the material for the book first appeared in newspaper columns and other publications over a 70-year time span. However, approximately one-third of the content had not been published prior to the release of his book.

Danny Pelfrey is the minister of First Christian Church of Adairsville. He spent many years ministering in the midwest before returning to Georgia to minister to the West Rome Christian Church and later to Adairsville.

He is the author of One-Way Choices in a Wrong-Way World, and a mystery/suspense novel set in Adairsville, Out of Depths, which is co-written with his wife, Wanda.

The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members. The Bartow History Museum is located at 4 East Church Street in downtown Cartersville.
