    1. [HOLT] Just as story
    2. This has no application but is a Holt story. I'll copy a paragraph or two that I wrote to my kids the other evening: I received a long letter from David telling about his Aunt Emma -- I had mentioned mine in my letter last evening. David wrote, ". . . her own little jar of snuff." My Aunt Emma smoked a pipe. I can remember her on the front porch smoking -- going back 75 years ago. Then Uncle Arlie writes: And Aunt Emma who was our great aunt - Grandma Holt's sister-in-law. When I was visiting the Holt center of Albion, Illinois one time, our distant cousin there took me over to Grandma Holt's village of Ellery. As we were looking and talking my hostess pointed and said that was the old Cullison place over there -- confirming that the McDaniels and Cullisons were neighbors. But most interesting was the fact that when we were little we would visit Aunt Emma in the little cottage she eventually lived in on the Nehalem and she would tell us kids Civil War stories. One she told was that the Union Army soldiers there were just as bad foraging as any Confederates and they used to steal their cattle. So the Cullisons used to hide their cattle along a certain creek when the Union foragers came through. I was thrilled to be able to go and walk along that creek myself lo these over hundred years later. Just a story.
