Recipe from the back of the book

And, the rest of the story

After visiting the dead, I took Patsy home and drove down to Harrison to the library. They were having a book sale at the library. They had a room full of books that no one wanted and you could fill a bag for $3. My bag rannith over. I bought 27 books for $19 including a dictionary of dictionaries and an Oxford History of the American People. I have books about Kenya, Sutters Fort, A Stillness at Appomattox and one named Wild Goose chase. But the prize book I paid $2 for, which is what it cost new in 1927 when General Electric published Electric Refirgerator Recipes and Menus specially prepared for the General Electric Refrigerator. I am sure as much as we enjoyed visiting the dead, Pasty would have enjoyed the $3 bag sale even more. I may pass some of the books on to her when I get them read, but not the history books or my dictionary of dictionaries or my refirgerator recipies...

Carrollton Cemetery

We could not find our Maples graves at Carrollton, but I knew they were close to the church and close by the Americus Bonaparte Maples grave, which we found.

I did find these graves that were interesting.

But, if you want to see Ann Kathern Maples grave marker, try this link

I could not read the name, but when I got home, I looked at the dates I had for her and they are the same as the dates one of the Maples markers. Then the one labeled Stone next to Ann K is, I am sure, James Gunters' marker, but you can not read anything on it. I know when I was there about 10 years ago you could still read the names on these stones, but no longer...

Just for Helen

Helen wants a post about the cemetery visit. Well, it tooks us about an hour to find the grave we went there looking for, because we could not see the stone for the stones, so to speak. We ran rushing over Ms. Waldrop's marker lying flat on the ground in our rush to look at the tall stones. About an hour later, after two trips around the cemetery, as I met Patsy back at the gate ready to leave, I took one last look at one last marker almost covered in grass, and it was the one. We have walked past it at least twice without looking. I had resorted to taking photos of interesting markers, since I was not finding the marker of interest. I think I will put one lilke this on George's grave.

Brand New School Building

Urbanette 1914... They are so proud of their new school. Look at the bare feet.

This is what I have been up to this last weekend, adding things to the CCHS website. There are 2 more Urbanette photos, a Antioch and Brawell Springs photo. Take a look...
