Elijah's is right. Excellent food & service. I believe there is a marker in downtown Wilmington regarding Houston. He married the daughter of Betty's 5th-6th g grandfather I believe. It is an interesting story.

Hi Allen, I have some old local history books, I'll look him up when I get a chance. It would be nice to go to Elijah's tonight - sure is to hot to cook. But it is also to hot to go out so I guess a sandwich will have to do. Hope you are keeping cool. Dale
