I know how you feel when you can't find any thing.  That is why I got start on the obits.  So if I can find 1 obit that someone can use, it's better than nothing at all.  I didn't get finished with the 1970's yesterday.   I got a late start. I did find a Callie Walker Armstrong, but I think I had put it on line some time back.  But if some one wants it or needs it let me know.  If We could find Old Jason P'tree & his parents & siblings I would jump up & shout.  I even would love to find out  who his wife, Catherine Heard's parents were.  Take care everyone & stay warm.  It's going to get cooler.  Ok, send me some snow.   Peggy ________________________________ From: Jeannine K Smith <[email protected]> To: Peggy Palmertree <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 5, 2011 8:14 AM Subject: Re: [PTREE] line sure looks like!  On the genealogy front I've worked myself into a dead end on my McClellans and Herrings.  Never had much on the Garners (or leads) and ran the Heslips to a dead end also.  Guess on my Montgomery County lines I'm at a standstill, so don't have much to offer there.  We need someone to get a major breakthru somewhere to give us something to chase.  I've been looking for the Pamertree murder someone posted last week but found nothing.

I'm still here! Helped Mitch Mon. thru Wed. and I was really tired. Rested yesterday and today. Can you believe after 6 weeks today my car is ready and we'll pick up in the morning! They finally found the right computer and it wasn't as much as they had quoted! Now, if someone can get Brenda's fixed we'll be in good shape. Mitch turned the heat on a little while ago. He has to shut vents in my end of house and open his as his rooms are at other end of house and add ons from the double garage. Weather man said Conroe got to 29 last night but that is at the airport and is about 3 degrees off from here at the house. Must get in bed!

    I was reading about the Civil War at Vicksburg, Ms. And BRUNSBURG, MISS. came up.   I think Sherman came that way out of Tenn. to Vicksburg.  I wonder if that could have be the place Ken's  story was talking about.  I may have been reading too many ghost stories (& still reading).   Peggy

Sorry, I didn't get back to you last night, I had my former co-worker, over to help me with some things and my head was buzzing with computer terms etc after he left so just went and read a novel about New Orleans afterwards, Love those! OK the article about the shooting, I personaly don't call it a murder. ?? was sent in by Ken Jackson. I will find it and add it to this msg. I had been wondering if someone was working on it. ************************************************************************** Gang, Here's a good one to figure out. Who was this "Mr. Palmertree"??? Ken --------------------------------------- The Chicago Tribune Chicago, Illinois 1885 Mrs. Douglas' Hero. Bladesville (Miss.) Blade. One day last week, in the eastern portion of this county, one Mr. Douglas was shot to death by one Parmertree. Douglas and Parmertree had a law-suit which resulted in the latter's favor. Douglas' wife, who was present, told her husband that he had been imposed upon, that she would rather be the widow of a dead hero than the wife of a living coward, and that he must kill lParmertree. Afterward Parmertree went down to Douglas' house, and not finding him was returning when Douglas shot at him from behind a tree and came out. Parmertree leveled his piece and snot and instantly killed Douglas. Parmertree surrendered himself to the officer of the law. **************************************************************************** *********************** That's it. Haven't heard of anyone finding any clues so far. Ken probably knows but wants to test us. ha ha Good Luck and Happy Hunting. A detective in town said the family researchers were his best friend. I guess he learns a lot from them. Later Nova . In a message dated 10/31/2011 11:00:39 P.M.

I think that misspelled the towns name as well as the Palmertree(Pamertree name). Would that be possible in the news release of 1885? Would love to be able to help solve this mystery. I'm going to work on some things that I have in mind & see ifthey pan out. Speaking of Big Cats! Whenever I lived with Kens parents(In theold place a ways up the road from Sharon's house). Several nights weheard what sounded like a panther squalling. You better bet the UncleErnest & Aunt Neppie(Ken's mom & dad) wouldn't let us kids go intothe woods in the area behind Mr. Rodney McDaniels house to investigateNOT that we were brave enough anyway----you understand.

Nova, Where did you happen to see that article about Pamertree & Douglas? I am interested in trying to find out the given names of those 2 also just what the lawsuit was about. Might be impossible but I think that it's something interesting to look into. YES!! The only town that I could find in Illinois that was close to the spelling of that name was Blandinsville(McDonough County), Ill. I think that misspelled the towns name as well as the Palmertree(Pamertree name). Would that be possible in the news release of 1885? Would love to be able to help solve this mystery. I'm going to work on some things that I have in mind & see ifthey pan out. Speaking of Big Cats! Whenever I lived with Kens parents(In theold place a ways up the road from Sharon's house). Several nights weheard what sounded like a panther squalling. You better bet the UncleErnest & Aunt Neppie(Ken's mom & dad) wouldn't let us kids go intothe woods in the area behind Mr. Rodney McDaniels house to investigateNOT that we were brave enough anyway----you understand. All these hearings happened way before Ken or Sharon were a twinkle in his parent's eye. I had almost forgotten about some of thosememories until you guys started talking STORIES.

    Well, halloween is about over & guess so is our story telling.  I've enjoyed reading them & have keep them.  We didn't have any treaters tonight.  If I had not got a small bag we would have 1 or 2 to come by.  It was a bag of candy I was not crazy about, so Basil can eat it all.   So don't let the ghost come in & go to bed with you all.   oooooooooo  Peggy

Peggy, I don't think either of my parents saw people who was not there, but it as just awful for Mom one day after Dad had gotten senile, he was sitting there reading and then looked over at her and asked "Where's my wife?" She said "Honey, I'm your wife." He said "Huh uh, I was married to a young woman." I knew that in about three minutes he would not even remember saying that, but it really hurt her and I had to do a lot of talking to smooth that over with her. Shoot, Joe teases me about that all the time. Asking me where that sweet nice young woman he married went to. Ha ha I tell him he ruined her years ago!! I guess he is kidding?? he may just be senile. ha ha One of my favorite quotes: "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted." Later Nova . In a message dated 10/31/2011 12:34:15 A.M.

Nova, that was too funny! The same aunt that 'saw' her brother had a sharper mind than any of us until that last week. She was extremely hard of hearing tho. One of her favorite passtimes when we would visit the nurseing home was to sit in the common area with us and point out those that had, as she put it, 'gone around the bend'. Meaning their mind was gone. I was so glad they were around the bend and couldn't hear her loudly talking about them. I do remember one particular lady. Each night when they would go to the table to eat she would tell someone unseen to hurry and get her a bucket of water so she could cook supper.

Loved the story Janie. My McClellan grandmother also 'saw' the dead in her later years. She had her first heart attack in 1971 and had several until she died in the early 1980's. When she had the first attack the doctors didn't give us much hope that she would survive. But slowly, very slowly she began to get better. After she was back home she told us that she woke up in the hospital and that her father (Dave McClellan from Hebron, the one murdered in the 1930's), her husband (the one with second sight from earlier post) and Jesus were in the room with her. She said that she was so glad to see them and that they visited for a while. Then she said her father told her that she was going to have to go back, that it wasn't time for her to join them yet. She said she didn't want to but knew she had no choice. The next time she woke up she was in ICU. After a later heart attack she lay in her hospital bed talking to people she could see going up and down a long staircase in her room. She would call out to them and said they were calling to her, saying hello and how glad they were to see her. One I remember in particular was she kept saying she could see Jim Hambrick who had been dead for a while I believe. The one time I saw her do this was after her last heart attack. Again she was in ICU, sitting bolt upright in the bed talking to a host of people she had known at Hebron as a child and young woman. She talked so much that the nurses had to close the glass door to her room because she was disturbing them. That went on for a little more than 24 hours. When she finally quit the woman that had been sitting, talking and gesturing with such animation was so weak she could not drink from a straw and her throat was so raw she couldn't speak. That made a profound impact on me. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one to go chaseing after ghosts or mediums but there is something there. It makes me think of the Bible verse that says that we now see through a glass darkly and then face to face. It also brings to mind the great cloud of witnesses we are told exists. I'll not tell anymore 'haint stories but sure have enjoyed this run with the group. Made me remember folks that I've loved dearly that are gone on before and makes me look forward to seeing them again one day. Jeannine Jeannine Kirkpatrick Smith

I love the stories and y'all don't have to stop telling them since they are part of history that will be forgotten if they aren't written down and passed along. I remember my grandpa and grandma told stories like these when I was a child but I don't really remember much about them. I used to visit my Aunt Claudie Ray Cross and her mother, Leona Ray, lived with them and she was old and very frail. She loved to talk and I was young and loved to listen. After she would talk for awhile she would look out the window and say, "here comes Lige home for supper", and she would get up and totter back toward the kitchen. Lige was her husband who had been dead for many years but she always saw him out the window coming home. I always loved that about her.
