Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 4 July 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #20 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt There were thousands and thousands of people out late last night to celebrate our National Holiday in my small town business district. Beginning in the afternoon, every green patch had some activity going on – bar-b-que, hotdogs, elephant ears and other venders – and, of course, music. And, then about eight o’clock the local law enforcement departments from two communities, separated by a river, closed off access to the connecting bridge and set up for a fireworks display later. This crowd was, with one exception, an extremely well behaved group. [And, he I just called a grouch.] His ‘trouble’ was simply one of not liking to be told, that due to any potential emergency, he couldn’t set up his seats in a pathway designated for emergencies. A most grand display of pyrotechnics brought the evening to a close. Even my young granddaughter, who was so concerned that she wouldn’t be able to see them, because she was sitting low and couldn’t see through the lady in front of her, thought they were wonderful and – she had “no trouble seeing them at all”. On this day, Independence Day, America/Americans have reached an unprecedented level of patriotism and enthusiasm for celebration. So, it occurred to me to use some quotes from the famous which illustrate America. For as James T Farrell wrote: “America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true and the opposite is probably equally true.” I love America more than any other country in this world; and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. ~James Baldwin America is a tune. It must be sung together. ~Gerald Stanley Lee, Crowds There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America. ~William J. Clinton The American people, taken one with another, constitute the most timorous, sniveling, poltroons, ignominious mob of serfs and goosesteppers every gathered under one flag in Christendom since the end of the Middle Ages. ~H. L. Mencken Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over; but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name. ~Woodrow Wilson America is a nation with many flaws, but hopes so vast that only the cowardly would refuse to acknowledge them. ~James Michener Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian. ~Robert Orben Of all the supervised conditions for life offered man, those under U S A's constitution have proved the best. Wherefore, be sure when you start modifying, corrupting or abrogating it. ~Martin H. Fischer What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it. ~Hubert H. Humphrey What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds. ~Will Rogers You cannot spill a drop of American blood without spilling the blood of the whole world.... We are not a nation, so much as a world. ~Herman Melville If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership. ~Will Rogers The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage. ~Carl N. Degler America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense... human rights invented America. ~Jimmy Carter I just don't know why they're shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread. Transplant the American dream. Freedom. Achievement. Hyperacidity. Affluence. Flatulence. Technology. Tension. The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back. ~Hawkeye, M*A*S*H, "O.R." We have the Bill of Rights. What we need is a Bill of Responsibilities. ~Bill Maher In America, with all its evils and faults, you can still reach through the forest and see the sun. But we do not know yet whether the sun is rising or setting for our country. ~Dick Gregory, 1964 Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country. ~Sinclair Lewis There are some very poignant and some very cynical words above, and no matter what else, the next quote [the last] without a doubt, sums up what I think we are: September 11, 2001: “Today our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the BEST of America.” ~President George W. Bush [emphasis added]. We hope your day was a Happy and Safe Fourth of July, the celebrated birthday of our nation. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

In the 1860 Census for union point, Union county, is a listing for Smith Day, his wife Mahalla (Gurley) Day and their daughter Sarah Day (4 years old). In the 1870 census a James Day 8 yrs) is listed in the Vienna, Johnson Co. census living with Alfred Gurley and his family. In the preceeding house is a Sarah Day who is 13 years. From the research I have done I think that their father is Smith Day who joined the union Army and deserted in Memphis while with the 109th division. Then I located a Mahalla Day, widow living in 1880 in Walla Walla Washington. I don'e know if any of these people are familiar, but I believe James Day may be my great great grandfather. I cannot make the connection yet. Let me knowif any of this strikes a bell.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 2 July 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #19 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt Grandpa Oliver said that farming was too hard work for him. So he went to work for the railroads, eventually working at a railroad processing company. This man who said farming was too hard would carry a railroad tie on each shoulder to load them onto or off trains. Farms always fascinated me, even though I did agree with Grandpa – farming was hard work. It was up at 4:30 am [I got to sleep a half hour later than Uncle Tim and Aunt Em], and you didn’t get to eat breakfast until past seven or eight, after chores. Then it was out to do the days work. Lunch was brought to us and we ate where we were. Dinner was maybe six or seven in the evening. Time for a little reading and it was off to bed. Four thirty came early. <grin> I thought about this some this week as I kept reminding myself that my energy lately is not as it was. So, if aging is not for sissies neither is anemia. Uncle Tim Bevister used Belgians. He would say that “soon will come the day when trucks and tractors will demote the horses as the power source. And, that will be a sad day.” I loved those horses of his. I would climb up on their backs and lay down as comfortable as you please. Out in mid Nebraska, Great Great Grandpa Karl and his sons used mules. Once when I visited my Nebraska family I asked why they used mules. I was always told that they were very stubborn. One of my Nebraska cousins would quote a verse from a poem: “If I were a sculptor, I’d cut in hard stone A monument unto the mule. I would try thus in some way to atone To the beast that’s considered a fool.” My cousins taught me that mules were a pleasure to walk behind while plowing. They said, “... perfect obedience, perfect coordination, never tired.” Apparently horses were prone to kickings, bucking, runaways, getting in more wrecks than modern automobiles. My Nebraska cousins seemed to have mules of a larger size than those that pull Canal Boats full of tourists in our Ohio canals. Well, the steam engine replaced mules and horses as the King of Power. Uncle Tim would hitch up a threshing machine behind an old steam engine. He didn’t call it a thresher, but a “pea huller”. Well, not only did that old steam tractor, in the proper season, do the oats and wheat, the cowpeas and navy beans, but was used for sawmill work. Gas tractors followed soon after the development of the automobile. Uncle Tim often said he was “home schooled”, but he believed in education. He said that the agriculture courses in school were teaching crop rotation and by the time I was helping [summer camp for a couple of weeks] on his farm he was preaching contour farming. By the time I came along radio was a decade old, and we listened to the “farm” report and the weather while we ate breakfast. My Illinois cousins talked about the tools necessary for the average farmer. They included the moldboard plow, a cultivator, a disc, a harrow, a drag, a grain drill, a hayrake, a mower, a manure spreader, and, of course, a wagon. Oh, yes, there were hand tools also – hoes, post-hole diggers, shovels, saws, forks [the pitching kind], and boots. Newly cleared land was the toughest to farm. All the stumps had to be plowed around. The Marine Corps obstacle courses were not any better. Some stumps were grubbed, some dynamited, but mostly left to decay over a few years. Corn and strawberry patches were always present even if the main crop was wheat or beans or whatever. Though it seemed to me that corn fields were pretty large, especially at harvest times. Guess it was sweet corn that was in patches. Along the edges near the road or around the fences, Uncle Tim would take his “hand” scythe and cut the “hay”. Uncle Tim would say “waste not want not, besides clean fence rows look better.” I remember following behind and piling the “hay”. I think we used it on the banks of ditches to retard erosion. In my city home we had ice boxes. Out on every farm I’ve visited, be it in Ohio, Illinois or Nebraska, refrigeration was a matter of choice – cellars or springhouses. Also, such as butter could be kept cool by suspending it on a cord in the well. Even in the 1930s when my experiences were being made, many farms did not yet have electricity. Thus, such labor saving devices such as washers, sweepers, irons, etc were only in the Sears catalog, which was read in the “library” out back. Water was precious. After using buckets to wash in [by several folks] the water was not just tossed away. Aunt Em used it in her garden. She sure grew good vegetables and beautiful flowers. After a “fun” summer, I might return to Uncle Tim’s farm for a day on the weekends. There I helped with shucking corn. But, what I remember most was the harvest tables. Every time I think about those gatherings of people to help harvest, I’m reminded of the Old Dutch Tea Table in Icabod Crane, by Washington Irving. Makes my mouth water to this day. Here I will let you conger from your memories the multiple saw horses and wood sheets covered with white linen and every food produced on a community’s farm. Oh, by the way, Uncle Tim wasn’t a slave driver – he let his grand nephew off between three and four in the afternoon to go fishing or whatever. My what energy we had as eight or ten year olds. Happy and Safe Fourth of July, the celebrated birthday of our nation. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

I am looking for the children of Edith Murrell, the daughter of Ed Murrell. She had siblings, Elmer, Floyd and Christine. Elmer, and Floyd are both dead. Aunt Wilma Murrell Baker, my aunt thinks that Christine probably is too. I know Edith married and moved away. I heard that she moved away after she got married to St Louis or IL she may have had one child and later twins. She died not too long after that. I think her sons may still be alive but now one seems to know who she married...... do you or any one know. I sure would like to find them that is one line that I don't have any descendents for. She was born about 1916. If anyone has any information on Edith or her descendents I would really like to hear from you. Any clues are appreciated. Sincerely, Patricia Murrell Mata pjmata@cox.net
