Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1941-07-17

way Of our sister, Carrie Rays.
(You will remember we have told
you our idea Of in-laws). Our next
stop was at the John Broedel home.
Olive, his wife, who has been con-
tributing co the upkeep of the M.
D's for some time, seems to be COM
ing back to normal nicely.
At the Ray McKibben home we
found that Mrs. McKibben whose
parents are Willard and Ressie
Adrian Fox, bears the imprint OF the
old stock. At the Amelia Leland
home we found Mrs. Leland still
conscious of the fact that the world
would be a sad place il some folks
didn't see the funny side and scat
ter sunshine. At the j. D. Light
hizer home we found ]. d. taking an
afternoon nap. He got US mixed
up. The weather was hot and dry
and the fact that he donned a pair
of gum boots threw us out of bal
ance. Nellie, who is the daughter OF
the late Charles Mummey and Eva
Brown Nummey, showed us some
old books that harked back to the
old days. They told us Of the fact
that lightning had struck wild
cherry tree along the Heron lane
! twice-the old tree gave up, and a
sprout came up and it was struck
recently, making three times in the
one spot. We want to tell you that
at the Lelands they have litter OF
! nice pigs-the first ever farrowed
on the farm since they bought it in
1910 The HERON lane is now a
boulevard-or will be when they get
it surfaced This work is being
done by the trustees of Meigsville.
| Mollie Kirkpatrick, who before
marriage was Mollie, daughter OF
Thomas and Dorcas Ann Martin, was
at Callie Knox's farm, the old home
of the Kidds We found on going
! to the top of the hill that the Her
ron lane was stone from the south
/ to the old Heron home, now owned
( by Frank Kraps. We told of the
Beattys in the Meigs section-but
We want to say again, they are good
folks and we like them. Hugh Girls
man and wife are we'll along with
/ their work. They are in the chick
en- business. From the amount OF
4 feed Mrs. Crisman was carrying out
! they either have big 1ock-or they
are we'll fed.
At the Guy Brothers home-the
! former VIM. Filkill farm, we found
| Guy waiting for the corn to come
up. AT the Fred Singree home the
biggest white dog we had ever seen
met us wagging its tail. He is real
/ ly big and fat. When we mentioned
to Mrs. Singree, who, we thought
knew whom we were, that complaint
| had been sent in to the humane So
ciety that they were not feeding
their dog and that it was plain tc
be seen, she at first seemed to be
peeved. After looking at the dog
! then at us, she seemed to realize
| the joke was on her.
At the jim Kidd home We found
Jim so busy he could only talk g
couple of hours. We are going back
some time when he isn't so busy
and finish the conversation. We
have travelled up and down Meig'
creek on the east side from and tC
Unionville, but not until that da!
had we ever Travelled all the way III
the west side. If we mistake no
Amelia Leland owns all the lani
Glenn farm except perhaps 40 acre
which belongs to Clarence Dewitt.
At the Raymond Crisman hom
, there was an electrical applianc
, agent crying his wares. Our mex
, stop was at the j. L. Glenn home
, While perhaps our call was long t
, suit Lossie and Lulu, we didn't ge
to find out lot of valuable infor
nation they have garnered since W
had last met. Here we boarded tn
Robert Wilson school bus and wa
soon at home.
The next morning we went to th'
Fred Ray garage across from th'
Lebanon church, where we founC
the garage and yard full of automo
biles waiting for repairs. Our mex
stop was at the G.. M. Garrett home
So far none of Georges children
have had mumps, or measles. Al
the Marion Mahon home we found
they had their corn plowed over
once. At the country store of W
3 E. Lawrence we chatted with Will
