On the WWI draft registration card for Benjamin Arthur Loveless (dated June 5, 1918), he lists his employer as J.D. Eubanks of Moody, Ark., but he doesn't state the nature of the work. In the 1920 census, Arthur was listed with his sister and brother-in-law Lizzie Loveless and Walter White, working as a farm laborer. I am guessing this was his job at J.D. Eubanks' also. Do any of you Eubanks researchers know if this was Jeff D. Eubank(s)? Also, how (if at all) was J.D. related to the other Eubanks (Mr. Ed Eubanks, Vester, etc.)? Thanks, Melissa P.S. Carolyn Haisty, I haven't forgotten about your Haisty WWI draft cards. I hope to get back to the Family History Center this week sometime.

At first, it didn't look right to me, then I practiced on myself, and that's exactly how I say it, too. Didn't even realize it - except it might be more like "AWN-ry." Right? Helen Leigh

Jann, Rose Hill is north of Monticello a few miles and to the west of Hwy 425. That is where my Owens great grandparents lived. Green Hill is southwest of Monticello and farther from Monticello than Rose Hill is. I'll send ya a map. Carolyn

Thanks Jann. All the O'Neals, Horns, and McCanns connect to my Paw Paw Thurman's mom. I printed a copy for Reva White and Hettie Nell Horn. Now, when I finally get around to getting it to them is another story.*smile* Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

This is my grandmother's first cousin, Claud Lagrone, son of T.A. & Etta Herrod Lagrone.

So, do any of you have family who says, as my grandmother did, "Yestiddy'' for yesterday? Or say, "Don't pay him no never mind." Or "That'll make you want to rare back and holler?" And who knows what "Roastinears" are? Did anyone ever take quinine in a spoon of sugar for a cough? My grandmother's mother was Indian (although we haven't been able to document it) and when she was small, she cut her wrist badly on a tin can, severing a vein or artery (don't know which). Her mother stuffed it with cobwebs and it coagulated and stopped the bleeding. When I had a stye, my grandmother would make me go to a fork in the road by our house and repeat, "Stye, stye, leave my eye. Go to the next one who passes by." When I had chicken pox as a child, she took me in the chicken yard, shooed chickens over my head and that was supposed to cure me. I could never walk under a ladder, keep going on a road if a black cat walked in front of me, sew something while I was wearing it, or sweep under someone's feet (if it was a woman, she'd never get married) and I still cannot bear to see an umbrella opened in a room. Am I alone here? Speaking of Indians, my great aunt, Beatrice Irene (Bedie) Johnson Kelley of Warren had a kitchen with running water, a sink and cabinet, but preferred to wash dishes the Indian way, in a pan, squatting on the floor. Anytime she was at rest, she squatted. Jane

Nancy, I am an English teacher, but this is another of my favorites: "spit & image" Did you know that this originally was the "spirit and image." We Southerners really FIXED(*smile*) this one. How about "I don't know him from Adam's all fox." Would you believe it used to be "Adam's off ox"? It makes a lot more sense.....Well, we'd better get back on track because Melissa will tell us we've gotten off the genealogy trail and are "going all around by Laura's house" to come up with conversation.:-) Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

I thought all older people talked like that. All those words and sayings I heard all the time. It was after I went to college that I found out what "roastanears" really were. I didn't take as much quinine as I did Groves Chill Tonic. Ladies, have you ever heard panties called "stepins"? Melissa, "onree" is how I still pronounce it. Also, there was a Mr. Ed Barber who lived in Possum Valley when we were growing up. He and his wife had no children and lived close to Gee's Landing with the Butler's and McCarty's.

yet?" No sir, I'm not hungry! Are you sure they said hungry...or was it HONE gry?*smile* My little nephew from VA spent his first summer w/me when he was four years old. One of my fond memories was the day he looked at me so innocently and said, "Aunt Beth, where is yonder?"

You are more than welcome. Every now and then I'm good for a teeny piece of trivia even if it is not as good as those OLD TIMES tips rdea gives me.*smile* We couldn't do without you, rdea........I liked your note , rdea. Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

Hi Carolyn, Where the devil is Rose Hill????? My sister and I have sung on the same "stage" with those Pace girls, mostly at funerals "over there" in Bradley Co. Thanks for setting me straight!!!!!!!! Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com

Jann, Those singing Pace sisters are from GREEN Hill. Rose Hill is in a different direction. Their brother, Homer, is a gospel singer as well. Carolyn

Rebecca, Thank you very much for the information. Do you know anything about James Wyles or his wife Lavanna Smith? She was born in Monticello and they were also married there.
