This week we want to take you tx
Baltimore County for a glimpse
of the Kageys at Sherwood Rec.
tory at Cockeysville.
Many of you remember this
genial and hospitable couple from
the days when Father Kagey wa:
rector of st. Bartholomew par
ish, and lived with his wife ano
only child, Guy Edison Kagey, Jr.
in the rectory in Olney. Guy Jr
was only two when they came in
1921.
Mrs. Kagey was active in the
organization of the vested choir
at St. Johns Church, Olney. They
left in 1928 to go to Media, Pa
the writer was one Of a party Of
four who spent a gay weekend
with them in that lovely and in
teresting Philadelphia suburb, dur,
ing their stay.
Guy Jr., now twenty-one, will
graduate from Loyola in June
if he returns-he has laundering
for the air-service. He is clever
amateur photographer, and has
won some prizes.
Several weeks ago ten of their
former parishioners from Mont
gomery were invited to lunch at
Sherwood to meet ten from Bal
timore County.
We drove over through Green
Spring Valley-lovely, winding,
shady roads-good roads too-and
almost no traffic-historical Roll
ing Road-Joppa Road, Old Court
Road-if you have time it is so
nice to wander thru this valley
quaint Rock Town Rockdale =
and we believe also a Rockland-
all roads are well marked-we
always manage to get to Towson
alright and always get lost COM
ing home.
Among the guests from Jockeys
vile were the Pindells-there is
a branch of the family in
Howard County - the older Mrs.
Pindell was Cockey-that fam
lily that gave the town its name
is growing small, she told US.
Then there were the Youngs,
who have an estate. high up on
the hill above the church and
rectory they interested US es-
pecialy-they are close friends of
Mrs. Marie Bauernschmidt- who
has intrigued US for years-hav-
ing heard several of her radio
talks - you know round about
election time - when it is whis-
pered, strong men tremble when
she speaEsl
Seriously, she is said to be a
charming personality-she is MAX
ing a garden for the Junior Mrs.
Young, as a shower gift. We are
looking forward to meeting her.
Did any or you happen to
notice in Ripley's "Believe It or
Not" recently, the picture of Gan
animal that grew under Ground7"
It was a stump root found by
Mrs. Kagey, exactly like animal
lido not ask us to name it) from
legs to horns. Thru its publica-
ton they heard from Kageys
from many parts of the U. S. A.
Father Kager at one time had
radio spot on one of the Balti-
more stations "a program of
poems and verse, something like
Ted Malone's ''Book Ends" which
is one of our favorite programs.
Isn't it nice that Ted now has a
page in Good Housekeeping?
Speaking of radio, reminds us
to ask if you heard Mr.. Thomas
Darby of Darnestown and Mrs.
Edwin Fry Of Laytonsville, being
interviewed on the National Farm
and Home Hour last week? You
see we just cannot keep away
from Montgomery after all!
Next week we want to tell you
about the garden at Sherwood,
and of the tombstone in the ceme-
terry there, without grave under
(which Bissel Brooke, in her
story "This Dream Came True
says, els almost as useless and
as much of curiosity as Ham
let would be minus the ghost"
So as Ted would says, Good
bye Now" until next week.
