He had a old fruit jar of rattle snake rattlers that he cut off each rattler that he killed.

A few days ago, I managed to find the Logan Cemetery in Morgan Township. There is a rock with a gold marker plate attached to it.. I am not able to read it all - so someone may be able to give me the right info. before I post it to the gravestone photo site. Thanks, Nancee JEWETT BURIAL GROUND RELATIVES OF (?)MARIA)or maybe (?SUSAN) JEWETT KELLY There are a number of rocks as markers in a row with this rock.

There were supposed to be some in Decatur County in the 1970's, or so I was told at the time. The only snakes I've ever come across were garter snakes, king snakes, and a few rat snakes (don't know what they are officially called.) I hated garter snakes until I got my riding mower - always got one in the push mower and wrapped around my bare legs at least once every summer.

Sharon R. Becker Ringgold County IAGenWeb Coordinator srbecker@iowatelecom.net. Rattlesnakes were numerous. After G. W. got his puncheon floor put in, they were sitting in the twilight when they heard a hissing sound. Andrew IMUS said it was a locust; G. W. said it was a rattler. They stepped to the door to listen when a large rattlesnake crawled from under the rocking chair where Mrs. LESAN was holding the baby. She says, "Here is your snake," when G. W. grabbed the chair with his wife and baby and carried them out of doors. They killed the snake. A few days later, after she had hung out her washing and brought the basket with the remaining pins in it, and sat it down, and took the crying baby up and sat her down by the clothes basket. The child played by pulling and pushing the basket and making the pins rattle. Then she became tired and her mother took her up, fed her, and she went to sleep. She laid her on the bed and proceeded to straighten up the room. She picked up the basket to put it in its place when "horrors," there laid a big rattler, all curled up under the basket. Its back was skinned up where the child had pulled the basket back and forth over his back. She called to her husband and he came and killed it.

a personal note: I feel terrible about Gary Lindsey's death. I've lived through three generations of them. Old Will and Sada were neighbors of ours and I delivered papers to their house. Not the Journal Reporter of course, but the Des Moines Tribune. I've written about it before but they had twin sons, Bob and Billy. Bob was killed in a car wreck a long time ago. After that Will wanted to get rid of a pair of child-size ice cream chairs and my dad took them and patched them up a bit. I've passed them on to my two great granddaughters of whom the elder is now a teener. I'm not just sure where the chairs will go now but I think I'll make it my business to find out. I don't believe ice cream chairs are 'in' any more. Bill did a great job, his wife Margaret did a great job and, although it happened after I left town, I believe Gary also did a good job. May God bless all of them. ... jack

Gary was a classmate of mine and really the only one with whom I have kept in touch over the years. I will be leaving Grinnell around 4:00 today to go to Leon for the visitation this evening and then will be attending the funeral tomorrow (10:30 a.m. at the Leon Methodist Church).

A friend that lives in Decatur told me Gary had heart valve surgery and died of complications a couple of weeks later. He was one or two years older than me but I remember him from school, when I used to live in Decatur/Leon.

CORRECTION! The Moving WALL Is NOT going to be there JULY 16-20th! It will be there SEPTEMBER 16-20th. sorry for the confusion. Here is the article that was in the Bethany Paper: April 14, 2010 Page 3 Bethany Repulbican Clipper Lamoni to host Vietnam Display The Vietnam Vetreans Memorial Moving Wall will be in Lamoni, Iowa on September 16-20 and will be available for viewing 24hours a day. The Moving Wall is a half-size replica of te memorial in Washington, D.C. and is one of the two displays that tour the country each year, bringing it to people who would otherwise not be able to view it in Washington. The Moving Wall is funded by donations and is presented to the public by volunteers who wish to honor those nearly 58,000 names who made the ultimate sacrifice from 1959-1975. Note too, if you are planning a trip to Iowa/Lamoni in July, if you can swing it, Labor day weekend is the weekend of the Civil War days (Friday the 3rd-Sunday the 5th) and a week and a half later is the moving wall. So if you are passing through, then those two weekends would be the best for you to stop by and visit. (www.civilwardays.org is the website for Laborday weekend if you are interested. and I know the moving wall has a site, something like themovingwall.org or something...will look it up if you are interested) sorry for the confusion on my last post about stopping in JULY.
