F1O1arnOv Family

Every Flournoy in America is de-
scended from Laurent Tourney and
his wife Gabrielle Mellin. Laurent
Geneva, Switzerland, after the Duke
Of Guise massacred the Professionals at
Lassy, in 1862; thus the Flournoys
were early sufferers for their religion
His wife Gabrielle was born in Ly
ons. They had two sons, Jean, born
1874, and Gideon Jean married Fran
ces Mussard, and they had Jacques,
born 1908. He married Judith Puera-
ri, or Puesary. Their son Jacques,
born 1857, married Julia Eyrand.
1t is interesting to note that Julia"
Is name, which joined to Eliza
BETH" has been perpetuated to the
present day. In every generation
here is an Elizabeth Julia
Laurent was a lapidary, and his
sons followed the same trade. The
son of Jacques and Julia was Jean
Jacques, born November IT, 1865. He
s one of the progenitors of the Amer
can branch of Flournoys. Jean JAG
Iues married in Virginia June 90,
1870, Elizabeth, daughter of James
Williams and his wife, Elizabeth Buck
Ter, and widow of Orlando Jones.
lean Jacques, immigrant, and Eliza
beth had ten children-sons and
daughters. The sixth son and young
.st child was Colonel Thomas, an an
:estor to anchor by. He is wise de-
,cendant who claims him-if he can!
Colonel Thomas held offices Of vari-
ous kinds. He was born November
30, 1888.
These dates are given for the pur
pose of filling up aching voids on FAM
lily charts. He married Anne Martin,
who survived him, dying June 1914.
Their children were David, Jean JAG
Ques, Elizabeth Julia, Mary, Anne,
Lucy Faris and Marcia Martin.
Colonel Thomas led the strenuous
life. That he usually spelled his
name rather laboriously Flowrnoury
Is neither here nor there. He was IN
der sheriff of Prince Edward county,
and later high sheriff; In 1880 he was
member of the house OF delegates: in
1777 he was captain of militia and In
1888 commander-in-chief of militia of
Prince Edward county.
1t is an unreasonable grandchild
who demands more in the way of a
career, from an ancestor.
The same year that Jean Jacques
came to Virginia or earlier, his uncle
Jacob born in 1863. came over with
'sa famine, deux gareous ct deux
filles,' and made home at Williams
burg. Jacob was son of Jacques, born
1908, and Judith Puerari. His two
boys were named Francis and JAG
Quas. and his girls Jane and Frances.

KEEPING CHEESE HARD TASK
t Should BE Kept Under a Glass or
China Top All the Year
Around.

Welsh rarebits, cheese souffies and
,ther cheese dishes are convenient for
summer, If cheese can be kept in con-
1ition.
This is SO difficult that dealers re-
fuse to sell certain cheeses during hot
weather, while others spoil so quickly
as to be unsafe to buy.
Where one lives within convenient
distance of a store buy only enough
cheese for immediate use, any loss Is
thus up to the dealer.
II living in the country, it is neces-
sary to keep cheese on hand; though
large supplies should not be laid in.
Cream and soft cheese in Jars or tin
foil should be kept in the refrigerator
until just before using. AS the odor Of
the cheese quickly taints other foods
1t should be kept in a tightly covered
glass or china bowl or jar. A large
preserving jar with screw lid will hold
several smaller jars of cheese.
Do not eat cheese in summer If
there is the least green mould on it..
Impress this upon maids, as some Of
them scrape it from the edges and
serve the rest of the cheese in balls
or squares.
Cheeses like Sweitzer, American or
certain OF the English and Swiss
cheeses, should be kept under glass
or china top all the year round If
brought In quantities. In warm
weather 1t is we'll to wrap the cheese
first in clean piece of linen wrung
out of vinegar.

Awful Remarks.

In his archives at Skibo CASTLE
said lawyer, Andrew Carnegie pre-.
serves very interesting document.
When Mr.. Carnegie started in the
steel business, he was resolved to re-
duce the appalling accidents incidental
to the work. And he was very success
full in executing this resolve. A part
of his success was due. no doubt, to
the blank slips that every foreman had
to fill up when one of his hands got
hurt.
"a certain workman had, one day,
the bad luck to suffer slight acct.
dent. His foreman, an illiterate, but
honest, chap, filled out promptly the
slip now preserved at Skibo. The
slip ran:
