save some of the loved ones VINO
belonged to church whose doctrine
was wrong. We never knew of any
man who could be ignorant enough
to say his mother or other near
relative went to hell simply because
they did not belong to his church
Of course it was alright with strang-
ers. Maybe we are wandering, but
that matters not; as what we say
what you think after you read that
effects you. Beg your pardon, but
] believe | will say "affects.' At
any rate an affection seems to be
harder to get rid Of. We have
little job here for you folks. Name
your school teachers; write list
Of the preachers who have preach
ed at your church; what one is most
often spoken of? Give three texts
from which he preached. with
three statements he made in each
sermon This is for those of our
readers who are past SO years of
age When you have completed
this send it in with your name ana
address, please. OF course preach
ers now on the field ere not includ
ed.
We meant to tell you more about
Deliah Smith, so will do it while
frail woman from our earliest recol-
lectioD--bu+ enc Of the best women
we ever knew. We remember one
time when Plum swore, she washed
his mouth out with soap and water.
Plum may have sworn again, but we
bet he never forgot that time. She
taught her girls to work, and they
early in life, went out to help the
neighbor women who needed them.
At that time, girls got anywhere
from 75c to $3.50 week. 1t did
not make any difference about how
much they did or how we'll they
did their work, the young girls had
to start in at that low wage. While
no doubt we could name all the girls
who worked for mother we remem-
Der Christy Williamson most dis
tinctly We believe she was $3.50
one. Looking back we are led to
believe she got the dollar for house
work, and the soc for cutting and
using the sprouts on the Ray boys.
And we want to bear testimony to
the fact at this time that she earn
cd her money. Christy married a
Mr.. Williams down in her home
neighborhood in Center township,
and several years ago passed on to
join the Rays, the Jenkins family,
and others for whom she worked in
life. We are sure she never thought,
when she piled the rod, that one OF
those boys would in after life pay,
or try to pay her an honor, or write
a memorial R return for what she
did for US
The LindimOres
Now we want to come back to the
Lindimore family that stayed in
Morgan county. We could give
them according to age if We wanted |
to, but we don't care to. Mary, |
who was the wife of VIM. Martin:
Aunt Mary" as she was known to
many; Hun as she was called by
her husband, lived during all the
years we remember them just over
the line in Meigsville township on
the farm now owned by Miss Rosa
Fox, adjoining the farm of A. H. !
Humphries, whose writings which
appear in the Herald are attracting
much attention. AS we have told
in previous writing of the fact
that William and Mary were we'll
up in years before they married,
and that they had no children. We
only need to tell you they were
jolly old couple who were always
glad to see folks coming. Aunt
Mary took care of her mother in
her old age. AS this writing is to
be kept by readers of the Demo-
crat, and some time children now
perhaps will dig out the old
files, we feel we should write oe
the things that folks will wonder
about in the coming years. We
old timers only a few months ago
looked wise and related to the
young folks how we had carried |
eggs to the stores and sold them for
8, 10 and IL cents per dozen. This |
at time, when they were selling
any place from 20 to soc a dozen,
never dreaming that the folks we
were talking to would see the time |
when they could say they could re-
when eggs sold for ten !
cents. 1t looks now as though OLD |
timers would have to think of some
thing else to tell, as the laboring
class can't buy them at 10 cents on
account of lack of work, and on
that account, lack of cash.
Edward Lindimore, as we remem- !
Der, was perhaps the Oldest child OF |
John and Sarah Osler Lindimore. |
His wife was Elizabeth Barkhurst:
hey had six children-three sons |
and three daughters: William,
John, Charley, Mary, who was the
wife of Phil Moore; Belle who mar
led c. w Kidd, and Luella, who !
married Jas. Moneymaker. Charley, |
Mary and William are deceased. |
Edward and his wife died at the !
Did home south of Unionville, and !
ire buried in the Wells cemetery at |
Millgrove. Lewis Lindimore was
he second son. Edward and Lewis
we're born in Virginia, coming to |
Bristol when the latter was two
vears of age. Lewis married Mary
Polly Jenkins in the year 1847,
ind to this union the following
