Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 2 April 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #13 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, This year I am ready for spring. There was a picture in my local newspaper this week of a young lad sitting in the boughs of a cherry tree. The caption was “Cherry Blossom Time On The Potomac”. Well, in a very broad sense it was “on the Potomac” river, though actually it was around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. The Cherry Tree he was sitting in was one of the 3,000 cherry trees given to Washington by Tokyo. And, as you might guess, the tree was in full bloom. The sight of these trees in bloom excites the blood. I know because I graduated from a high school just across the Potomac River from the Tidal Basin and I’ve walked around the Tidal Basin during the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival. Two Sundays ago I was in Southern Illinois where Grandma Oliver and my Dad had their roots. There the daffodils and the forsythia bushes were in full bloom. Pictures were taken of this sign of spring so that I could view spring when I returned to northwest Ohio. Spring has not quite arrived here yet. The air has a spring smell and feel though, and the nights are not going down to freezing or below any longer. Thus, it is time to bring up the spring clothes and take down the winter ones. This includes putting away the “comforters” from the beds. When we bring the comforters out or put them away, I’m reminded of the quilts Grandma Oliver made during my lifetime. She wanted to make them for each of her great grandchildren. However, there were too many of them to reach that goal. There were well over thirty of them before she passed over. Toward the end of her life Grandma Oliver would run her fingers over the stitching of a quilt and give it a rating with comments. “See how this quilt puffs up? That’s cause of the tight stitching. They used to say that my stitching was the tightest!” “See these, them’s embroidery. There’s all kinds of them.” You could tell that she wanted to be “quilting”. Her arthritic fingers just wouldn’t cooperate. I’m sure that we all have a very romantic view of “the” quilting bee and/or “party”. We’ve heard tell of neighbors all being invited to a quilting. The women would quilt all day, perhaps taking turns around the frame while others cooked up the grand meal that would be served to the menfolk that evening. Then it was a time for singing, dancing and courting among the young people. Sounds much like “harvest day” when neighbors gathered together to bring in the harvest. Most quilting was done not at parties but by one or two “quilting” to accomplish practical goals. Grandma Oliver used to say that she and her friends would get together to piece together a quilt and the host did furnish the noon day meal; however, this mainly got these friends together to enjoy the company as well as to get something “done”. However, due to varying skills, if Grandma was making something special anyone who helped her had to match her skills of stitching. In my memory that was usually her daughter. It might be stretching my memory a a bit; however, in place of the modern “bridal shower”, quilting bees were social events where even the less skilled were welcome. Finishing a bride’s set of quilts before the wedding must have been a grand time with much frolicking. One can envision that out on the plains where there was much isolation, the goal, I’m sure, was to help overcome the loneliness that was felt. Quilting sessions in these circumstances were a regular part of the life of women. In Grandma Oliver’s youth, frames were not purchased from the mail order houses. They were constructed from four sturdy lengths of wood. Two strips long enough to hold at least the width of a quilt would be fitted with heavy cloth attached along the length. The ends of the quilt would be basted or pinned to this cloth. The other two pieces of wood could be of varying length and would hold the first two apart so that the ends of the quilt could be rolled tightly leaving a nice firm area for the quilters to do their stitching. As one section of the quilt was completed the quilt could be rolled exposing a new section to be quilted. As a historian, I can’t find any “hard” evidence that what we call “quilting parties” existed before the middle eighteen hundreds. Also, it seems more of a “frontier” activity to include the “family” thus making it more of a community gathering. One such innovation was the “round robin” where one person creates the center block and then passes this on to another for them to add what they feel is appropriate, then to a third, and so on. This suggests that “friendship” quilts would be of this style but less symmetrical. Speaking of “style”, groups are far reaching. These get-togethers have not gone by the way-side. Quilters gather to practice and share their craft. They gather together in the 21st century via computer to explore and share their interests and designs. And, thanks to online communities, quilters are continuing to find ways to connect with each other in today's busy world. Women in the United States used the bees not only to make quilts, but also to socialize and catch up on the news of the day. The popularity of these gatherings peaked in the 19th century and interest in the craft slowly faded. Recently, with such things as the American Folk Arts and Crafts shows during the bicentennial, interest in quilting has a resurgence. As states, with nearly every other segment of society, today's quilting has embraced technology. The Internet is now populated with hundreds of online discussion groups where people help each other with quilting challenges, post pictures of their latest projects and share life's ups and downs. These conversations take place 24/7 [24 hours a day, 7 days a week] and span the globe. Grandma Oliver before she passed gave our daughter, Sarah, many of her “blocks” in hopes that she might use them. Sarah did pick up the desire to do quilts. She used the sewing machine to produce the tight stitching that Grandma did by hand. After our daughter passed away two years ago, one of her Aunts made a quilted wall hanging and presented it to us to bring back the wonderful memories of all the sewing Sarah accomplished. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

Gurley b. 6 Feb 1862. Mary Gurley married John P. W. Allen on 29 May 1865 in Posey County, IN. John died 27 Nov 1891, location unknown. Their children included Mary Allen, Edward E. Allen (see death notice on this board), and Orlando J. Allen, and another daughter, whose name may be Carra (not completely legible in 1900 census record). Others in Mary's household at the time of the 1900 census were her son Orlando, daughter Carra?, grandd! aughters Cora and Eva Gurley, and grandson Earl White. Mary is listed as being the mother of 11 children, four living. These would be Edward, Carra?, Orlando, and Isadora. Edward E. Allen married Cynthia Winchester in 1894 in Johnson County.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 26 March 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #12 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, In my snail-mail box yesterday was my newsletter from the Nebraska State Genealogical Society. Included in the “news” about the May 2006 Annual Conference at Beatrice, Nebraska. The feature speaker for the conference will be John Philip Colletta who will present, among other items, “Hacks and Hookers and Putting up Pickles: Snares of yesterday’s English.” Now that is a title I’d like to hear about. I must see if that talk will be taped and available for sale. Also, in my e-mail box yesterday appeared a note from an e-mail list owner friend recommending an article* from “The Southern Illinoisan” online newspaper entitled, “Early Southern Illinoisans had colorful speech”. How coincidental! My interest in the way we express things might have already been peaked by my visit last week to the roots of my Dad in Southern Illinois, where I learned many things about my pioneer ancestors who migrated there in the very early 1830s. Dad and Grandma Oliver often used expressions and/or words that are not used in this day and age. The colorful language of yesteryear known as “Appalachian Speechways” allows phrases as plain and as functional as an ax ... “drug” for “dragged” or “clum” for “climbed” or “The smoke o’ dawn hit were jist ‘scarletin’ red.” And, one of my all time favorites – “the sun ‘undered’ behind the ridges.” Have you ever been “yankeed”? And, Grandma Oliver was “a-sparkin” with Grandpa Oliver ‘cause he asked if he “might see her safe home” in the middle of the week. I can understand “down the hollar” but for the life of me I can’t find “under the ridge”. Grandma Oliver spoke of a place on Old Monroe Benson’s farm as a very specific place. That place is even mentioned in a WPA tour account in the Ozark Foothills of Southern Illinois. However, no one I have ever talked to in Johnson county, Illinois, can tell me where it is. Dad always said that there was the American Way, the Marine Corps Way, and the Ole Man’s Way, and each was different. There are different ways to explain phenomenon also. Take the following story as an example. Aurora Borealis is explained differently by different sets of folks. When in school I learned that these Northern Lights were a phenomenon of light witnessed in the northern regions and that on very rare occasions they would be seen in northern Ohio. If a person was lucky s/he might catch a glimpse of some flickering curtains of lights, apparently dancing across the dark night sky. These are the northern lights, a celestial phenomenon that has amazed people for centuries. The scientific name for the phenomena is Aurora Borealis, which is Latin and translates into the “red dawn of the north”. The Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, was the first to use the expression. On the latitude where Galileo was living, northern lights consist of mainly red color. Up in the sky, the threshold of space, the air molecules there respond to great flares from the sun by pulling them apart. Northern lights originate from our sun. During large explosions and flares, huge quantities of solar particles are thrown out of the sun and into deep space. These plasma clouds travel through space with great speeds. It takes these plasma clouds two to three days to reach our planet. When they are closing in on Earth, they are captured by Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) and guided towards Earth's two magnetic poles; the geomagnetic south pole and the geomagnetic north pole. Northern lights occur as a result of solar particles colliding with the gases in earth's atmosphere. On their way down towards the geomagnetic poles, the solar particles are stopped by Earth's atmosphere, which acts as an effective shield against these deadly particles. When the solar particles are stopped by the atmosphere, they collide with the atmospheric gases present, and the collision energy between the solar particle and the gas molecule is emitted as a photon - a light particle. And when you have many such collisions, you have an aurora - lights that may seem to move across the sky. This glow that we see are the molecules coming back together. The following is a bit different explanation of these fantastic heavenly glows. Looking up in the winter night sky, one muses what the universe is, and the elders would tell the children stories to explain these wonders all about us. The Northern Lights are the pathways or the campfires of the souls as they traveled across the skies. It was just something that we always knew. The Storyteller, whom we called “Uncle”, would encourage us to play a game called “stump the adults”. One child asked “Uncle”, where do the colors come from? He said that the colors came from each of the clans. As each clan would come together they would gather something that was important to them and they would throw it into the fire. That makes the colors. The Flycatchers, he said, reached beneath their wings and pulled out little yellow feathers which they threw into the fire. This makes the Northern Lights glow yellow. The folk from the Turtle Clan took lilly pads and grasses and threw those into the fire. That makes the lights glow green. The Bear Clan took their favorite food, berries, and threw them into the fire. This forms the color red. And, the people from the Thunderbird Clan, the eagles, flew over with great spruce boughs in their talons, and they dropped these into the flames. This makes the Northern Lights glow a greenish-blue. These are the colors of the Northern Lights. Not to be left out, one child asked, but Uncle, what of the Sturgeons Clan?? They’re fish, what did they do? Threw water into the fire and put it out? Uncle turned and looked at her very seriously and said, “yes, that’s exactly what happened.” As the people from the Sturgeons Clan passed by they took their tails and their fins and they flipped water into the fire. This makes the flames hiss and crackle; they go out in some places and reappear in others. That is why the Northern Lights seem to pulse and dance about. Looking up at the fires in the sky and becoming very, very quiet, you can sometimes hear the hiss and crackle and the pop of the fires in the skies. I know which version I like best—but, my teachers in school never seemed to accept this latter one. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.
