Peggy, I have a Kosc. newspaper with an article about Mary Steen's death. It says she was living in the Chitta Community.  I also think one of my Buford greats was buried in the Chitta Community.  Do you have any idea where that is or was located? joan ________________________________ From: peggy palmertree <psmpalmertree@bellsouth.net> To: PALMERTREE@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 6:04:47 PM Subject: [PTREE] obits.

Peggy, you had me going there. At first I thought this was a new obit and was trying to figure who it was! That's my great grandfather.

Peggy, I didn't have time to party, was busy yesterday, Dr's apt, volunteering, visiting Mom, and then had a fun evening. An old friend/coworker I knew at the library years ago was the speaker for our research library monthly meeting. She is an antique quilt appraiser now and brought several of her quilts from 1850-1950. Very interesting and she is not the white glove type. We could look at her quilts all we wanted. Made me want to get back to quilting. My Mom made so many quilts, but washed them often and I don't think there are any of them left. I believe there is a pic on the P'tree Photo Page of one quilt she made from Dad's tobacco sacks and red material. Dad, me, David and David's son Dustin are sitting on it, Mom used it for a sofa spread. I asked her what happened to it, she thinks it just wore out. What a shame, but she enjoyed using them. Once when she was moving & giving my sisters & I some things, I asked for the pineapple pattern crocheted tablecloth. I love that. Later, Nova **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
