It's funny how the memory works. I remember a query that was sent quite a while back. I don't remember who sent it, but this may be of some help. In Dean Cemetery (said to be near J. F. Smith's) there is a Woodman of the World marker on the grave of H. H. Sessions. The dates given are Nov. 19,1872- Jan. 24, 1929. His wife was Mary Cauley. -- Kati Smith kimis@bellsouth.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/3043

******************************************************************* "IN THE SPIRIT OF MENDING THE SACRED CIRCLE" GREY FOX www.egroups.com/subscribe/South-East-Creek A Native American Research Group ******************************************************************* Subject: School shootings It started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school, the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor yourself. And we said, OK.. ~~~~~~ Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. And we said, an expert shouldknow what he's talking about, even if he never had any children of his own,so we won't spank them anymore.. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. And we accepted their reasoning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said, that's a grand idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said, that's another great idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body. And we said we have no problem with that. And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And let's recordmusic that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Therefore, now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with... "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pass it on if you think it has merit! If not then just discard..... but if you discard this thought process, then don't sit back and complain about what a bad shape the world is in. Just remember that when things had gotten this bad in the past (Sodom and Gomorrah) God put an end to it all. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dear God, Why didn't you save those kids in the school shooting? Sincerely, Concerned Student AND THE REPLY... Dear Concerned Student: I am not allowed inside the schools.

In answer to #3: Sherman's army proceeded North thru S.C. and then into N. C. They went thru Columbia, SC and burned it. Finally, remnant Confederate forces under Gen Joe Johnston fought them at several small battles and a final larger one at Bentonville, NC. After Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Johnston surrendered near Durham, NC on April 26, 1865.
