Attorney Phill Bettis will be speaking on the “P. Bettis” rifle, which was patented in 1850 by Philip Bettis of Cummings, Georgia. He is listed as a gunsmith in Forsyth County in the 1860 census, and in Vickery Creek in the 1880 Census. Our speaker, local attorney Phill Bettis, is a direct descendant of this antebellum gunsmith and he has carefully built an outstanding collection of original Bettis Rifles.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans meets on the 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Bell Research Center. The public is welcome.

More About Cumming Public School
The Cumming Public School was built in 1923 to serve students in grades 1 through 11. It was the first school in Forsyth County to offer a high school diploma. It was rebuilt after a fire in 1927 and became an elementary and middle school.
Over time, the school was used for the offices of the Forsyth County Board of Education. In 2000, Annette Bramblett of the Historical Society had the school named into the National Register of Historical Places.
Through restoration, the school's auditiorium is now home to The Cumming Playhouse. Historical artifacts and information about old Cumming can be found in the school today.
The Historical Society of Forsyth County and The Bell Center for Southern Genealogical research now call it their home.
