Can someone fill me in on the White School? Where it is/was. My grandfather, James M. White had eleven children (Taney county) nine survived to adulthood. Most of them went to school at Boston Center. I have a group picture of the students taken in about 1927 ???? It is so small, I can't be sure which one is my mother. Just wondering if the name of WHITE (school) has any connection to my ancestors. Jean Tittsworth Gordon Washington State

There seems to be about only one story that I ever heard, since my family was distanced from my Mo. family by divorce in the 1920's. But I did hear this one. Seems my Gr. Granddad was a teetotaler. But some of the relation had a still back in the hills. He would get wind the revuners were around and gonna make some raids on the stills. He would go out to the relations still and take the coil and hide it. Logic was the revuners could not make a case if they found a still with no coil as anyone knew you could not make moonshine without one. By the way I did have an occassion to taste that wicked moonshine on a vacation trip to Mo. with my Grandma in 1965, and it was enough to fry the hair off a frog, ever see frogs with hair? Now you know why. Nancy

what cem are near the old White School?

So, ladies, this has me thinking... What family tall tales have been passed down among the women of your family? I'll start, cause one of ours came up in conversation yesterday. A Hillbilly Intervention One of my great aunts was married to a man with a considerable drinking problem. She finally solved it by waiting until he'd passed out cold in bed one night, tying him down, and proceeding to beat him black and blue with a piece of stovewood. This is always the final story when we get in a family discussion of alchoholism, and I've never been sure if its a caution against marrying a drinking man or a suggestion on what to do about the problem! Hmmm...maybe that's why women aren't known for their tall tales. We've never strung this one out with a lot of windy details, but just jump right to the point. Ingrid

Ingrid, I like this one. It reminds me of a story my Aunt Jo tells about her husband, Uncle Bob. Seems that Uncle Bob liked to go out bar-hopping as a young husband, leaving Aunt Jo home with two little babies. One night he stumbled home after Aunt Jo had been up most the night with the babies because of fevers. He passed out in the narrow hallway and as Aunt Jo passed through each time on the way from the kids to the kitchen, she would kick him in the ribs. The next day Uncle Bob saw fit to comment, "Wow! My side hurts. I must have gotten into a fight last night."

You missed your calling, you should have been a writer. I really enjoy your writings and energy, keep it up. By the way, I have spell check on my email and took thirty minutes to get thru the above paragraphs--lol. Ideana

Ingrid, LOL Wal, I speck ole Townsend, since he wuz a guy, 'n much more inta that "guy stuf", jest din't fine us wimmen dat int'restin'. (We'uns no bettah, but "thar ya go"). 'Sides, ennyone kin tell dat we'uns stil haf storees. Take, fer instance: "My ole man is SUCH a clutterhound, it took me 2 days to find the outhouse" "My pains with my 20th chile wuz so bad, the granny-woman had to put 3 knives under the bed to cut 'em." "My ole man is so lazy and moves so little, I had to dust him las' week." "My bread riz so high, my ole man had to grease the flue so's I cud bake it." "My oldest boy only spent 3 years in the first reader" Since women supposedly didn't go fishing, hunting, push plows, or have any other ostensibly male occupations, that was Townsend's take. Besides, he does admit that there aren't many stories about women that are printable...LOL After reading Vance Randolph's "P*$%ing in the Snow", I'm kinda glad. Besides, after hearing about Old Lady Melton, who sends more chills down my spine than reading about Alf Bolin, I seriously doubt women were "more sensitive, perhaps they felt too much of the pain of the person who was the butt of the joke." Townsend and many other men of the times had the idea that women had no clue to the real world, but I think women were just more pragmatic and didn't tell Townsend any windies.

Vonda, you quoted: "Tall tales were told almost exclusively by men.

There are those who say women lack > a sense of humor, but that can't be entirely true since they marry men." Now all women know that is entirely untrue. We just don't tell our tall tales to the men who wrote the books, probably since they mainly concern men's behavior, kids, and all that women stuff men think is icky. Townsend should have hung around outside the kitchen door. Regarding rocks, that reminds me of a story about my second cousin Alden Hembree. He's one of the Powell family that developed Fairy Cave, now Talking Rocks cavern. He says that he once guided a fellow through the cave, and afterwards the man asked, "How do you make a living down here with all these rocks." Alden, having just taken this man's payment for the tour, thought it was an extremely silly question, and replied "Showin' them to tourists."

I went to a funeral today. He was 92, a fellow who was born in KS and for some reason I never learned, came to Taney County, MO in the 1940s. His name was Bob, William Robert Large, Sr. His wife, who passed away some 16 years ago, was Opal. I don't think I ever knew her maiden name. I remember hearing Opal talking once about how she never knew Bob's age until either the day they married, or some time after...seems he saw her somewhere, and being impressed with her, introduced himself. As they were talking, he asked her age, and when she answered and asked his, he said, "Well, I'm 21 (I think it was), too!" Turned out he was a couple years younger. Opal was a gifted piano and organ player. She played the music for silent movies. I remember visiting their house, and loving to hear the fancy organ. They often let us girls sit at the organ, as long as we didn't mess with it. Bob and Opal had 3 sons. They lived on the banks of Long Creek, if I remember right, in a tent, for several months. Later, they bought land out north of Branson, off'n present-day Bee Creek Road, and farmed. Chuck, one of their sons, talked today about how the boys would have to get up every morning and milk the cows. Bob worked full time for the electrical co-operative, and the boys did much of the farm work. The house they lived in is one of those I wouldn't mind having...matter of fact, I've envisioned the house we're going to build someday as being a great deal like it, on the inside. Old thick wood paneling, a huge screened-in porch, rooms added on, long and narrow, with rock work here and there. Bob and Opal's son John was one of Daddy's best friends. The stories they told on each other...including a new one I just heard today from John's oldest daughter. (John passed away in 1996.) Seems John fainted at the birth of his first daughter. Daddy apparently dealt quite well with it--I presume both of them were in the waiting room--but when the time came for the "father" to get to hold the baby, John was still out cold, so Daddy got to hold her first. Years ago, going down the hill above Bee Creek, John and Daddy were in one of their old cars--probably barely old enough to drive, mind you--John, who was driving, said, "Look at that wheel!" as it passed them, rolling madly down the steep hill. Within seconds, the car "thumped", and John fought to bring it to a stop. I guess one of them walked the rest of the way down the hill to find that wheel, so they could put it back on. John and his family moved to St. Louis in the late 1970s, but he often visited "home." They usually camped out over on Table Rock. One story I heard from Daddy years ago involved a visit he and Mom made out to see the Larges at their campsite. I guess John decided to take a canoe out on the lake, and talked Daddy into rowing a second one along. Something or another happened, and Daddy's canoe capsized. Daddy was a-spluttering, out in the middle of the huge lake. He was hollerin' at John, who inherited his father's deep, booming voice, and John replied, "Joe? You know, I've learned one thing in this life...wherever you are, that's where you are." Daddy made it back to shore okay. Bob and Opal were early members of the Branson Church of Christ. In later years, Bob became an elder, and took his turn to get up and read the announcements on Sunday morning. The first thing he would say on those mornings was, "It's a beautiful day in the Ozarks!" I can still hear his deep voice, and see that elfin grin on his face. It could be 5 degrees out, and still, it was "A Beautiful Day in the Ozarks!" Two sons didn't live in Taney county, and the third attended another church at times, and so I don't guess none of them got to hear him say that. That has become a catchphrase in my family. The first guy who narrowly escaped marrying me, back in 1987, came into the room where my mother and I were working on wedding plans and hollered, "It's a beautiful day in Kansas City!" at the top of his bellow. My mother, who realized I'd told him about Bob, laughed and laughed. Over the years, every so often, I'll just bellow, "It's a beautiful day in the Ozarks!", aware that not many people have any idea of where it comes from. It's a bittersweet thing, for it often requires explanation, especially on days like today (bitterly cold, although the sun shone, and it WAS a beautiful day). My children, who've grown up attending Mom's church and going to see BobLarge (for them, it is one word) and his prized "wiener dogs" (I can't spell dachsund!), are also familiar with Bob's house and some of his phrases. Every so often, the redhead, who seems to find a special bond with older folks, will wake up and come into the kitchen, and say in his deepest voice--"It's a beautiful day in the Ozarks!", and it always floors me. I don't know if he ever got to hear Bob say that at church, for as Bob got older, it became a huge effort for him to leave the house. So now you know why I often say that when I'm posting to the lists. It's not just because I'm a big fan of my hills and hollers--it's bringing back a really great memory of a huge voice--"It's a Beautiful Day in the Ozarks!"

>From "Not By a Jugfull!" by Will Townsend (aka Townsend Godsey) "Even Ozarks rocks were said to add fertility to the soil. One spring a land agent was showing a prospect some very ordinary farm sites when the outlander became concerned about the large number of rocks he saw scattered over the fields. 'Those flint rocks are very valuable to Ozark Mountain farmers,' the agent quickly explained. 'They increase the productivity of the land. Stones prevent erosion, they preserve the moisture, keep the crops from getting dirty in the mud and all sorts of good things like that.' 'But look,' said the prospect, 'over there in that field there's a man hauling off the rocks.' 'Friend, let's be moving along,' hastened the agent, 'we might get took up as witnesses in court. That feller's a-stealing those rocks.'" "Tall tales were told almost exclusively by men. Apparently life was too serious a matter or their time too occupied for women to socialize this way, and normally being more sensitive, perhaps they felt too much of the pain of the person who was the butt of the joke. There are those who say women lack a sense of humor, but that can't be entirely true since they marry men." (vks--and my own observation shows that we really like men with a great sense of humor...LOL) "In the Ozarks, as it should be anywhere, nobody but strangers and durn fools attempt to predict the weather. Once a native was asked if he thought it would rain the next day. He replied, 'When God was a-running the country, I used to be a pretty good weather prophet, but now the govern'mint has took over, hit's mighty hard to tell what's a-goin' to happen.'" "When there's no unsuspecting stranger to gull, tall tale tellers [try saying that real fast 3 times in a row] may take to bantering among themselves. Then one yarn spinner may cut another fellow's story down to size. This was the case when a fishing guide reported the time he felt a powerful tug on his line and pulled out a 35-pound bass. 'That's nothing,' replied another guide, 'I felt a tug on my line and pulled out a lighted lantern.' 'Now you looky here, nobody ever pulled a lighted lantern out of the river.' 'Well, if you take twenty pounds off'n that bass, I'll blow out my lantern.'" "The year before Table Rock Dam stopped float fishing on the Upper White River there was a rash of anglers looking for river guides to take them on a final johnboat float. The band of experienced guides was exhausted and one outfitter had to put a 'gourdy' fellow in one boat as a guide. As luck would have it, the two fishermen in the boat had phenomenal luck just at sundown, so they desired to fish the same waters the next day. 'Do you suppose we can find this same place tomorrow?' one of them asked their guide. 'Reckon,' said the guide importantly, whipping a big Barlow knife out of his overalls pocket. 'I'll just cut a notch on the side of the boat to mark the place.'" Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I've been down with "a bug" the past few days, and am just now getting my bearings on where I am; if the condition of my house is any indicator, it's NOT a particularly tidy place <BG> The White River Valley has had snow and ice on the ground for the better part of 3 weeks now, with accompanying wind chills of zero or lower--we've not been above freezing but for a little while one day earlier this week. The kids built snow forts in our small front yard--I didn't get a snow man, guess I'll have to go play outside when we get the next major snowfall. We needed a REAL winter this year, to kill off the bugs and stuff, and so's we don't forget what winter is supposed to be like. I like the different seasons, and wanted a decent winter--remind me of that when I start wishing for spring in a couple months. Right now, I'm perfectly fine and dandy, all snuggled up in my house--as long as we don't run out of diet Dr. Pepper and jalapeno cheese dip, we'll be okay...LOL (kinda like that sayin', "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!) Some of the links at the WRV site have been having troubles--I would really like to know who goes messing around in my directories. <BG> Greg is the only other person who has access to them aside from Rootsweb staff, and he doesn't mess with them without forewarning me. Anyway, I did a quick runthrough, and the links WITHIN the site are working. Outside the site, I can't fix until I find what the owner of that site has gone and done--if they've moved it, or what. I honestly have to wonder if people forget they have webpages, and don't keep up with them so that their servers cancel their sites out or something. Anyway, if you continue to find links within the WRV site that aren't working, please check them for a day or so, and if they STILL don't work, let me know, so I can go fix whatever someone else has messed up. I use both Netscape and Internet Explorer for browsers, and sometimes the latter one doesn't do the things it should do... They are apparently doing some major work at Rootsweb, with various sites being offline for a while, that sort of thing. Nothing new, just routine maintenance--everything should be back up before long. Like any huge network with several different servers, there are kinks ever so often that gotta be ironed out. Those of you who've been adding "Positive Energy Flow" in the form of prayers for my sister, I thank you. She has been transferred back down to the local hospital from Springfield, and she told me a little while ago that they are talking now of letting her go home. She's been hospitalized since 5 Dec with bacterial endocarditis, a heart infection; it was touch and go there for a while. Now, they are talking about a machine which will do her meds every 4 hours at home, and the possibility that there won't have to be any surgery for repairs. Sends chills down my spine, the power of that flow! I hope you and yours have a Wonderful 2001! May we solve just enough genealogical mysteries to keep us coming back for more!

My Great grandfather George, between the death of his first wife and his marriage to my great grandmother, "took off with some woman" according to his oldest son, Newton, and left Newt with his grandparents for a couple of years during this time frame. Knowing that there are a number of Nagles in Taney County, this caught my eye. Stacy, George -- m. No Date Dollie Nagle; MDM Thursday 22 Mar 1883 Ingrid Albers
