    3. FYI: Forgive me for being a bit windy today, but my cup truly doth runneth over. Many of you have been so helpful and I want you all to know it is appreciated. It has been an exciting fall for me with the cooperation of many members involved. As you all know the Keck Funeral Home Records Index 1912-1937 will soon be completed and available on-line. This would not have been possible without many hours of work on the part of Mary Louise Phillips and the cooperation of Cordell Haegle (sp??), the current owner/operator of the Keck Funeral Home. In addition, Rachelle Curtis, with her husband and daughter's help, physically canvassed and alphabetized the current Indian Creek Cemetery burials. These are waiting on the back burner for HTML conversion and loading onto our Louisa County Genealogical Society's website in the future. Trevor Fulton, a former Ireland resident who has now retired in southern England is now helping to write and organize the research work done on the Fulton name in Ireland which will be added to my Fulton Manuscripts later this winter. Just this week, a relative of my husband's, the gg grandson of Mifflin Jennings, a former Louisa County Resident before moving westward, has advised me that he has the diaries that Mifflin wrote regarding the Civil War and wondered if I would be interested in putting them on line where the public would have access to them. We also have a picture of Mifflin and his brother, Taylor visiting their young brother Elijah's grave in Arlington Cemetery. Naturally, my answer to Ron Smith was in the affirmative so we will have a busy winter in Columbus Junction. These will probably go on my homepages but will be linked to the Louisa pages. I anticipate that Mifflin will mention other Louisa County men who served with him, but I have not seen the material yet to know what exactly to expect. To all of you who have been adding obituaries, queries, and other data on line on GenConnect, and who have worked on indexing the cemetery records and other data, I wish to extend my profound thanks. The Lookup help has also been a valuable addition to the mailing list. All of this is helping to preserve vital information for future generations and to help make it more accessible to the public. If I am slow to answer an e-mail, please understand and when possible post your queries on the mailing list, where all the subscribers have demonstrated a willingness to pitch in and help. What a wonderful group of people to work with. Thank you one and all. I only hope I haven't missed anyone. If I have my apologies and my sincere gratitude. Last and not lieast, Keith, please take care of yourself and get well fast as we are missing you on the mailing list.
