    2. My grandmother would put the battery on the war oven door of the wood stove to prolong the life of it. Then we would often go outside and pour water on the ground near the groundwire, to get better reception. Also would tie the antenna wire to a bottle and throw it high (as we could) up in a tree to help things out. We would also listen to "Supper Time Frolick" and Lum and Abner, from WJD in Chicago. I was very young but have a good memory of all those things!

    3. You know I am not sure. I was just a little girl then. I do remember that people came from all over the state to stay on the camp grounds. There were cottages that you could stay in as a family and also bunk houses for the boys and the girls to stay in. It lasted two weeks and they would have evangelist and preachers from all over the united states. The services would be held under a big pavilion with benches to sit on and sawdust on the ground. The music was beautiful and the sermons lasted well into the night. It is a wonderful memory, that is what I can remember.

I not only found some of my mom and dad's people. But some of the nicest people you could ever want to meet. I married a Sims from Geneva county. My dad's bro married a Barantine from Dale County . In finding my cousins. I find all these names in our family. If not by blood, by marriage. My oldest bro could play the harmonica. My husband played the Quitar, and we all loved to sing. Even when at home we would sit out on the front porch at night and sing old gospel songs. The memories are wonderful.

    3. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister! My prayers go up for you and your family. I know depression can really get you down but, please, keep your genealogy interest going so you can record all for future generations. Your sister is singing with the angels and having a wonderful and glorious time! I know your memories with her will help you get through this though. The depression comes from knowing we won't be making any more memories but "Praise God" we still have the ones we've made already. Nobody or nothing can take that away from us. Genealogy has been a crutch in depression for me. It keeps me going and keeps me from going under for the third time. I know how hard it is to focus sometimes but keep trying and we'll keep praying. I've fought depression just about all my life. I'm moderate manic depressive personality. Winter is the worse time because we don't get enough light but turn your eyes toward Jesus, who is our eternal light. He will help! Sometimes, it takes a little longer than we want it to but He will win out in the end. Just keep singing those Praise Songs! A melody in the heart is the best medicine.
