As the family is now putting a man to rest whom we all loved and are very grateful for his research and putting it on the web for all of us to find. I had to send one last thing about him to all of you. Sam helped me greatly in my own research and we were related through his great- great grandfather and my great grand father and mother JNO Caldwell and Analiza Killgore. In the first emails that Sam sent to me, he sent me this poem and I think it expresses what most of us felt about him. Beatitudes of a Family Genealogist Blessed are the great grandmothers, who hoarded newspaper clippings and old letters, for they tell the story of their time. Blessed are all the grandfathers who filed every legal document, for this provides proof. Blessed are grandmothers who preserved family Bibles and diaries, for this is our heritage. Blessed are the fathers who elect officials that answer letters of inquiry, for - some- they are the only link to the past. Blessed are mothers who relate family traditions, and legends to the family, for one of her children will surely remember. Blessed are the relatives who fill in family sheets with extra data, for them we owe the family history. Blessed is any family whose members strive for the preservation of records, for theirs is a labor of love. Blessed are the children who will never say, "Grandma, you told that old story twice today." God Bless you Sam, and thank you for all that you shared and that won't be forgotten.
