Several weeks ago I wrote regarding a sugar cookie recipe my grandmother had which was called Mrs. Starr's Sugar Cookies. I remembered it with much fondness, but really didn't think too much about it until I also received from Charlene Holland an obituary of my great great grandmother Priscilla Emmarine Hutchinson Johnson, which mentioned a Mrs. Leo Starr and my grandma Mrs. Dollie Hale thanking them for helping take care of Grandma Johnson during her final illness. I wondered if perhaps that Mrs. Starr was the Mrs. Starr of the Sugar Cookie recipe. Now thanks to several people, I can report that they were one and the same. Carla Brigance mentioned to my cousin Carolyn Hill about my initial post and Carolyn sent me a 2-page letter about Mrs. Leo Starr. Thanks to Carolyn's description I also found two paragraphs in O. Alden Smith's book "Scott County - Gateway to the West," about Mrs. Starr. Then I wrote to her nephew John P. O'Nale and he responded that indeed his aunt was well known for her sugar cookie recipe that they referred to as tea cakes. Mrs. Starr was born Mary Leo O'Nale on August 6, 1885 in Scott County, Arkansas to John Simpson O'Nale and Susanna Godwin O'Nale and married Walter Raymond Starr December 5, 1905 in Scott County, Arkansas. They had three children: Carmen, Violet and Farrell. Geneaology and research is not tied just to our ancestors and descendants alone, but to all the "ties" that make us who we are today. Thanks to all mentioned above for helping me find another piece of my history! Barbara Hale Reynolds
