Hi Everybody, For the past few months or so, I have been working with my cousins, Johnny Knox Holcombe and Liz Knox Adkinson to put excerpt of my Aunt Gladys diary she kept during WWII. Johnny gave me permission to put excerpts from her mother's diary on my site, and Liz, who volunteered to do my web site when I put Gramma Knox's Legacy Book I on the Internet, has done a wonderful job putting the diary on the site. There is one kink with the thumbnail pictures on the title page of the diary. They don't seem to be there right now, but I have no doubt that Liz will be able to fix that. The URL is: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~peggyjknox <http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/%7Epeggyjknox> The explanation of the other two pictures that have been added to my site. On my welcome page is a picture of me and my son, Dean DeVirgilio, which was taken in my home on December 26, 2004, and the other is a picture of Aunt Gladys with two of her four children--Sammie Tabor on the left and Lewis on the right.. It was taken by my son Dean in 1997, when we stayed with Aunt Gladys at the Knox farm in MIddlefield, NY--a few miles from Cooperstown--for a few days. During the war, Uncle Lewie was a student minister in Middletown, CT. In addition to the every day life that all Americans lived during that tine, the diary includes things that were happening in the Knox Family during that time, including the illnesses and deaths of my Aunt Lil and my Grandpa Knox. My grandparents, George and Lillian Knox, and my parents, Mike and Hazel Knox and my sister Faith, as well as my cousins Clifford and Janet Knox all lived on the farm on Resin Rd in Middlefield during the war. Uncle Lewie served as minister to the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church in MIddlefield and the the Methodist Church in Roseboom in the 1960s and 1970s. Uncle Lew, Ant Gladys and their son Lew are buried in the Middlefield Baptist Church cemetery. Their daughter Sammie and her husband Shirley Tabor live in Maryland, NY. Sammie is a lay minister in the Methodist Church in Middlefield, and for years has taken an annual Wesleyan tour in different parts of the world, including where the Knox family started out in Edinburgh, Scotland. She works in the bank in Hartwick.. I've tried my best to identify who is who in the end notes, and other things that I thought needed further explanation. It goes without saying, if you recognize I have something wrong, or would like further info, please feel free to let me know that. I do hope you enjoy reading. Shalom Peggy J. Knox
