I have my grandmother's clabbered milk chocolate cake recipe. It is similar to a sour cream cake, but since they had no refrigieration, the cake made use of milk that had soured and cabbered before it could be used. I remember her always having a bucket of clabbered milk sitting in the kitchen. I have never made the recipe, and to me it looks like some of the ingredients are missing, and I am not sure how old it is. I would say at least 75 years old. If you are interested I will share it.

For the website if you want. Lafayette Courier, January 2, 1919, page 7 William Goltra, of Crawfordsville, has returned home after a visit with Wesley Leazenby.

A goody for both websites. Lafayette Journal and Courier, Friday, December 26, 1958, page 2 Montgomery County Man Dies of Burns WAYNETOWN – Elmer Cecil Wade, 74, was burned fatally about 1 p.m. Wednesday in his home on Ind. 47, south of Crawfordsville, when his clothing apparently caught fire from a stove. He was found by a neighbor in the kitchen near the bathroom door with his clothes burned form his body. Wade was alone in the house at the time; his wife, Iva, was working and a woman and her daughter who live in the house were also away. Wade was born in Fountain county, and farmed near Mellott until about four years ago when he moved to the present home. In 1936 he married Iva Johns at Crawfordsville. He attended Dry Run school and was a member of Christian Undenominational church. Surviving with the widow is a brother, Lloyd of Chicago.

And thanks to you! Actually, he did have a middle name -- William Henry Erskine, son of Michael Erskine and Rebecca Parks Erskine. (You have his half-brother George Erskine's obit on the website.) It would make life easier if we all used this style: Rebecca (Parks) Erskine for women's maiden names. Or should I say, unmarried names? I'm not big on politically-correct language, I guess. So I propose the style change -- but I'll be the first to complain if it ever becomes standard -- I'm one of those who use my maiden name between my given name and my husband's surname. I can see inserting parenthese every time I write my signature -- NOT. Incidentally, and I know what the obit says is what it says, the year of the marriage is one year off: according to the WPA transcription of Boone County's marriage records, Will and Forrest were married in 1898, not 1897. Oh, well. Small stuff!
