Is our list down. I havent seen any Riddle post. Dave Riddle said he posted one and it never showed up. Havefound me another Riddle cousin in Missouri and she is on the Internet and lives where my were in Missouri. So now maybe I can make some more progress on our Riddle's Stan Riddle-Brookshier

Another good one. You should be or I believe you are a comdeian. Keep keeping up our moral. wrak

All of you have been talking about the good ole times. I went the first 6 years in a 2 room school house. My grandfather was called in by the teacher. She said, "You grandson is a very honest boy!" My grandfather asked "How do you know that?" Teacher answered, "With those grades, he couldn't be cheating".

The two holes or two seaters as we called them were for mothers and the younger children to help them in getting potty trained. In some of them one hole was smaller than the other one. My mother-in-law use to keep a slop jar in the back room so she did not have to go outside after dark. When my children were little she added a smaller one to the room for them. Of course their was always the chore the next morning of empting them and so they were clean and fresh for the next night.

Boy Charlie, I think I have read your jokes before. Were you not the one that wrote about visiting the preacher's wife that had her house spic and span all the time. A Salesman called on her to show her a vacumn cleaner and when he turned it on, you and your little friend with muddy feet jumped on her bed and she got the broom after you both. I wondered if she ever caught you two. Your jokes really make life worth living and what a lift. Yes my mother also did her laundry in an old iron pot and wash tub. Golly, I think of how hard she had it raising all us kids until we finally got a washing machine. That was when LBJ promised all the rural people, if elected president he would see that we all could get electricity. Felt like we could really see what we were studying as we had studied from an Alladin Lamp and kerosene lamps. Now they are prized items. Storming outside and it is roaring. Gotta go. Loved your jokes. wrak

Thank you Bee for all the info on Benjamin P. Riddle, I am copying all of it now, including picture's. Thanks so much, will write back when I have looked through all your info. Wanda

Isent my message to the wrong page. It was for the Putnam County list. I apologize. Joan

Below you will find the start of Davied Riddle, Frank Waddles & my Riddle line. I know Dave is now on list but dont recall if Frank is or was on it. But anyway I dont hink Dave has ever posted anything to the list. And since some of you have links to Maryland. I thought it would be a good idea to post our ancestor who was in maryland also. I would have carried it further out, but I was up all night. slept awhile today but getty sleepy again. Which is good. I'll sleep good tonight. Dave may be lurking in the back ground. He is the one to ask abt this part of our family. I had nothing to do with the research and therefore cant answer your question if any. Stan Riddle-Brookshier James Riddle B.

I'm telling my age--but I was raised in a log cabin with no running water in the mountains of NC. My grandmother and aunt made their own lye soap. Their procedure for washing clothes was almost to a T as specified in this cookbook. They had an old iron pot that held about 30 gal of water. They would boil, scrub and turn until the clothes were supposedly clean. This was an all day affair. Their hands would be raw. That was not a good ole day to remember. There is a book called "Cabins In the Laurel" that portrays what life was like around the 20s and 30s. My grandfather was driving an old "A" Model thru the Blueridge mountains of NC. The thing overheated. Steam and smoke were blowing everywehre. An old man and woman up on the ridge had never seen a car. The old lady ran and jumped under the bed. The old man fired his long hog rife down the valley. The bullet went thru the windshield and grandfather jumped out and ran. The old lady yelled from under the bed "Did Ya get him Pa?" Old man replied "No--but I sure made it turn that man loose!" Happy Easter Charlie Riddle/Dulles Airport Does anyone know what a "Wock" is?

Thanks Mike, I got an email this morning telling me that my gg grandfather was a son of Stephen Riddle. They did not tell me where they got the documentation on it and from what I have seen on the list he was a son of Randolph. I could be dead wrong as they said he had a middle name of Benjamin F. which I have never seen but do know several F. in some to the trickled down names which could or could not mean nothing. Are you in the Randolph Riddle list of ancestors? They are telling me that my Benjamin is a son of Stephen Riddle son of Randolph. with no documentation of how they came up with their estimations. It is confusing enogh without all this. wrak

Here is a quip recently sent to me by a friend who is going through the same frustration with his own family as we are with the Riddles----"There is a bright side and a dark side to genealogy. The bright side is that it keeps you off the streets and out of the pool halls. The dark side is the only reason you and I spend so much time on it is that we want to find out all we can about our ancestors before we meet them"----AMEN------Jim Riddle
