From: jan <[email protected]> Comfort Things (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) "Hush little baby, don't say a word…" Such began the lullaby I sung to my three children, now all grown up and off on lives of their own. I never dreamed it meant so much until my daughter, all grown up and a beautiful young woman, one day lay her head against my shoulder and said softly, "Sing that song to me." "What song?", I asked, puzzled. "The one about the mockingbird and the billy goat and the diamond ring." "OHHH…that song!" And so I held the grown woman's head and crooned the long ago lullaby, gently rocking back and forth as I did so. For a space of time, I was imagining the chubby little girl with dark auburn curls I used to hold in my arms, and perhaps she was imagining being one. "Thank you," she said when I had finished, and raised up and kissed me on the cheek, then went on about her grown up life. I am no singer. I don't pretend to be a singer There is no talent I would rather possess, but it simply was not written in the stars. The rich singing voices and rhythmic dancing feet of my mother's people did not come to me. I took after my father's people. I have two left feet and a voice like a hoarse bullfrog. I know the latter is true because that is what a choir director once told me, and I subsequently took him at his word and gave of my talents in other departments. But "Hush little baby" must not be about my singing ability at all. Must be about something else. Comfort sound, like gravy is comfort food. I go on about my grown up life every day, and most times I do pretty well. But now and then, like my daughter, I need a few comfort sounds. The squeaky rhythmic sound of a porch swing on its hinges does that for me, and I imagine it might be because my mama used to tie my small self and a pillow to one on my Pa's front porch and let it gently rock me to sleep. Whippoorwills and crickets do that for me, and that is probably because I associate that with the country nights "down home" as a child "Amazing Grace" does that for me, and that is probably because I associate it with a country church and the peace of a Sunday morning. Comfort things. If I am feeling badly, my husband knows exactly what meal I need, regardless of the time of day. Fried eggs and biscuits, gravy and grits, bacon. He proceeds to the kitchen. Works the trick every time. I see the sunny plate and think of a long ago kitchen with pleasant smells and happy laughter, the warmth of an iron stove. Comfort things. A quilt wrapped around tight on a blustery day, a cup of hot chocolate, a soft feather pillow, a hike down a beaten trail under a canopy of green trees and patches of blue, digging in the rich soil of springtime, a dozen and more things that make one feel better, and when we stop to think on it we can figure out why each item is in our list of home remedies for healing a broken spirit. Once upon a time, a professor gave a class a very strange, and most wise, assignment. We were to choose one night and call it "Me Evening". On that evening we were to plan only comforting things, things that made us "feel good", things that left us fulfilled and happy. Odd, my list of choices. Or perhaps not. Every single one of them could be traced to a time in my life when I felt very secure and very comforted. Now is it any wonder that supper that night was fried eggs and biscuits, gravy and grits, bacon? Or that I spent a large part of the evening gently rocking back and forth in a porch swing? The day my daughter asked me to sing "that song", she had not told me of any troubles. But I suspect, for just a space of time, my adult daughter used that melody in a most wise manner. To gird herself for a coming day, to face a tomorrow armed with the comfort of the past. It is no wonder that I continue the tradition established by a long ago and most wise professor. Now and then I have a "Me Evening" (I prefer to call it "Comfort Night") and encourage those around me to do the same. It is a way to feel enveloped by love and security, a way to celebrate the past that laid the foundations for our "comfort things", a way to face the coming day with a fresh outlook. Have a "Me Evening", folks. Feel comforted with the roots that taught you how to be comforted, and offer it to yourself as sustenance that you can better make comforting roots of your tomorrows. Just a thought, jan Copyright ©2001janPhilpot And because I know some of you will ask, here is the lullaby: Hush little baby, don't say a word. Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring. And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass. And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat. And if that billy goat runs away, Mama's gonna sing this another day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Note: Afternoon Rocking messages are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared...simply share as written without alterations...and in entirety.

I'm looking for any info I can find on the Boggess community in Muhlenberg county. Is this the same place as Boggess Hollow which is on current maps? I have recently found my HASTINGS ggrandparents in Boggess in the 1880 census. After contacting people on KY lists for 5 years....writing to courthouses and paying for lookups to no avail, I recently bought an 1880 census on CDs from LDS and within 5 mins. found my elusive ancestors. Other Muhlenberg county names of mine are; PAULEY, POLLY, YOST, EDWARDS, SISK, HASTON, and BALLENTINE. I'll gladly share any info that I have. Joe PCgenealogy® Joseph W. Hastings 62430 Locust Rd.

Thanks, Dorann.... With the information you provided I was able to get a copy of both books thru Barnes & Noble. And actually found pictures of some of my husband's relatives in them, too! Joyce

From:   Jan, [email protected] A Nation of Heroes  (from the Sunday Afternoon Rocking series) Tuesday "someone" thought to weaken us.  Instead, our strength, the strength "they" do not possess, is shining across a nation. We have seen heroes this week.  Heroes that will forever go nameless, heroes that will never grace the pages of history books or a newspaper, heroes that we will never be able to personally shake the hand of or thank.  Heroes that were not trained at West Point, or any other prominent institution.  Heroes that left home one morning with no intention of ever being one. Heroes that dropped in a moment purses and briefcases, bags of groceries and the threads of their lives and rushed to help in whatever way they could.  Some quite literally dropped the threads of their lives and never emerged from the moment they reached out.  Some survived their time of reaching out, and returned home, but will never proclaim themselves heroes.  Heroes emerged on the scene and in short order, heroes emerged all over the country.  Heroes began to line up to give blood, to send money and help in any form needed.  If they could not be on the streets of the tragedy, they would be heroes just the same, unsung, unlauded.  For a hero has no thought of glory, but only of the compassion and caring that instigates the act.  And the amazing thing? Those heroes were from all walks of life.  They were of all ages, all races, all creeds, all cultures, all socioeconomic levels, all religions.  They had to be, for we are a melting pot of all of them, and yet representatives of all of them responded.  No one stopped to ask another what their personal beliefs were before they went scrambling through the rubble to find a living body, any living body.   No one stopped to ask those victims who their God was or what political party they belonged to, before they pulled them from the rubble and began to bind their wounds.  It did not matter.  All that mattered was the response to pain around, the need for help.  And that is amazing.  Or perhaps not. For over two hundred years we have proven that a blending of cultures and beliefs is possible, that whatever our internal bickerings over differences, the bottom line is that we all believe in what was built in this country.  America took in us all.  She opened her arms wide and promised a nation big enough to hold all of the cultures, the creeds, the religions, the races.  All she asked in return was commitment to that concept, and willingness to preserve it.  And so it has been, and so it is. We have been underestimated. It seems this terrorist attack may have been from sources that can't get past the idea of "differences" being able to cohabitate in the same country, under the same stars, within the same boundaries of land and sea, and caring about one another.  It seems those folks, who ever they are, don't understand that idea any more than they understand the folks of their own religion who do not espouse their violent ideas.  They may never understand it, but if they sought to divide us, they found out this week that we don't just pay lip service to our beliefs.  And they found out that the symbolism of the buildings they sought to bring down are just that: symbols.  In reality the heroes of our country are across this nation, in folks they never suspected, in beliefs so deeply entrenched and a part of who we are, that they cannot ever root it out.  We are a culture who seems to outsiders to "have no heroes", for we are very open about the leaders we choose.  We are open with their flaws, their faults, our criticism.  We seem to worship no man and we don't hang great wall size posters of any man.  We still choose them, and chips down, we will be right behind them. If "someone" thought that we had no heroes, were not capable of deeply entrenched beliefs, "someone" was wrong. You see, our heroes are of quite a different caliber.  We may belong to different walks of life, we may worship differently, some may choose not to worship at all.  We may be of different colors, we may celebrate different holidays, we may back different political parties.  But bottom line, when America is attacked, the man and woman on the street is going to drop everything and come running.  Yes, we have been underestimated, all right.  We have countless heroes, millions of them.  Those terrorists, whoever "they are", forgot to study our history books.  We have always had countless heroes, men and women on the streets, and when the chips are down they remember they are Americans, and that means all of us, differences go by the wayside. Tuesday "someone" thought to weaken us.  Instead, our strength, the strength "they" do not possess, is shining across a nation. Just a thought, jan

From:  Jan,  [email protected] Uncle Feller's Gift (from the Sunday Afternoon Rocking series) I remember but two things about the man, and all the other memories were given to me by someone else who lived them. I remember how he looked, and I remember what he did once for me.  I remember him as tall and lanky, a sun-browned figure in a felt hat walking towards me across a field.  I remember the startled feeling that caught in my throat when the "magic man" drew even with my small self and bent to examine my upturned face.   My own eyes, "black as muscadines" my aunts always said, met the strangest color eyes I have seen before or since.  For his eyes were the color of faded stonewashed blue jeans, the color of a mountain wildflower, a soft gentle blue all the more startling in the creased brown face that surrounded them.  He was  Henry, better known as "Uncle Feller", my own Mama's aged uncle, and I had been brought to ask a favor of him. I held out a timid finger for him to inspect, and he rubbed his own work worn fingers over it.  He gazed out across the field as if at something I could not see, cut off a "chaw" of tobacco, and we stood there in silence, we two,  youth and elder, for a bit of time.  Then he grasped my finger in between two of his rough ones, and he spat upon it!  When I began to draw back, the brown skin about his blue eyes crinkled, and he smiled.  Reassured, I let him rub his fingers over my own, and he began to mumble words I did not understand.  When he was finished, I gazed down at my finger, but the wart was still there and I looked again up at the faded blue eyes.  Again the browned skin around them crinkled, drawing my eyes to the smile beneath.  "Tomorrow," he said.  And that is all I remember. But sure enough, "tomorrow", the wart was gone.  And it was as my Mama had told me.  Uncle Fellar could remove the unsightly blemish without pain.  That is the second, and the last, of my personal memories.  For the rest, I must borrow the memories of others. Uncle Feller had been blessed with "the gift" and no one was quite sure why, as he was not the seventh son of the seventh son.  But he is who it was who could lay hands upon a person and somehow draw sickness right out.  A young cousin was a hemophiliac, and when the boy was hurt, and his blood flowed, when all others around were terrified, only Uncle Feller could stop it.  By laying hands upon him, and reciting a verse from the Bible, the blood would stop.  Uncle Feller could do many things, even remove a wart from a frantic child's hand. Uncle Feller Warfield never married, but he was loved just the same.  He was never seen in much but his patched faded overalls, and he never had much to call his own, but he held the love of a lot of children, and they held a corner of their heart just for his occupancy.  I know because my Mama has told me so, and I have heard the gentle tone in voices of others who recall.  It was Uncle Feller who took the children of the family  out in the fields for "camp outs", who built them big bonfires, and told them "haint tales".  It was Uncle Feller who took them fishing down to the creek, and Uncle Feller whose faded blue eyes twinkled in his sun-browned face,  who could be counted on for a good joke and most any fun that came their way. Uncle Feller lived a long life, but he did not meet a peaceful end.  His death is something of a mystery, and seemed to be an accident.  He left no wife, he left no children, he left no property.  He probably never had much more than two thin dimes to rub together, but perhaps he was richer than most.  He was laid to rest  near others of his family.  He had no children to mourn his passing, but the generation they would have been of was there, all of them with the means to make the trip.  Neices and nephews they came, and it was his neices and nephews, remembering, who placed the tombstone to mark his grave, and  with gratitude for having known him made sure it was marked not just with a given name, but with the fond name they had given him, "Uncle Feller". He lives on in their stories, and I have yet to see anything but a soft nostalgic smile from anyone who owns the blessing of a memory. I knew but two things about him of my own memory: his appearance with that deep sun-browned skin and the startling faded blue eyes, and the "magic" he worked one summer day for me.  But I have always heard he had "the Gift".  More than once I have paused at his grave, in the years since, and reading the inscription "Uncle Feller" placed there by the adult children of a family, more than once seeing a bundle of wildflowers left upon the grave,  thought perhaps the "Gift" was never quite what people thought it was. He was  "Uncle Feller", Henry Warfield 1902-1977, buried in Ham Cemetery, Stewart Co.
