New County Clerk in Milam,Texas

Laverne Soefje, county clerk for more than sixteen years in Milam County, Texas, has retired. Under her leadership, the office was friendly and efficient on all requests including genealogy issues. Her former chief deputy, Barbara Vansa, has been elected to replace her.

According to the Cameron Herald,

Soefje and her husband of almost 40 years, Harold, have an exciting retirement ahead of them. They will begin in April as camp hosts at state parks across Texas. They will work a month at a time with two days off each week. Their first park duties will be at Brazos Bend near Needville. In June, they will be at the Guadalupe River State Park north of New Braunfels. [Link]

Best of luck in retirement to a fine public servant!
