AOL USERS! users, do you get all this junk emails? I delete the stuff but it seems to me IF if it comes throuh AOL could do something about it. I have asked but they say go to Preferance and block it, I have but they change names and continue to come thorugh. The other Servers or some of them do not let it enter our mail, so I wonder why AOL can't or wont do that? We need to get a petition started against aol and see what we can do about it. wrak

My daughter-in-law is a great singer and has recorded and worked in several churches as choir director. I say that to say this: This guy would always go out and sit on the porch while his wife was doing house chores. She sang in the church choir and would practice while working around the house. One day she noticed that her husband always left and went outside. She questioned him "don't you like my singing?" He replied "I love your singing--but I just want to be outside so the neighbors can see me ---and won't think I'm beating you up!" Take care.

My Thoughts and Prayers to the family and friends of the Space Shuttle "Columbia" I've received copies of the newspaper articles from The Emporia Gazette date Monday, 31Jul1922, Lyon County, Kansas telling of the death of sisters Marie and Agnes RIDDLE. ID: I479 Name: William Baird RIDDLE (son of Samuel B. b. Center Co., Pa. and Anna R. (BAKER) RIDDLE) Birth: in Freeport, Stephenson Co., Illinois Marriage 1 Elizabeth BROWN b: in Lakeville, Missouri daughters: Agnes Riddle b: JUL 1893 in Emporia City Township, Lyon County, Kansas d. 30Jul1922 Maria Riddle b: JUL 1897 in Emporia City Township, Lyon County, Kansas d. 31Jul1922 *************** In doing a google search using some of the information provided I found the website: http://www.texasonline.net/langley/columns/grandma.htm Here I've found a cousin and his story as Agnes was his ggrandmother. >From the Emporia Gazette: "Shoots Two Women" William Alexander is accused of Murder Mrs. Agnes DEMLER shot Dead and Mrs. Marie CARY Probably is Wounded Fatally. Mrs. Agnes DEMLER is dead and Mrs. Marie RIDDLE CARY is near death as the result of an attack upon the two women by William ALEXANDER, 127 South State Street. The shoooting occurred near an abutment of Soden's bridge south of town last night about 9 o'clock. Alexander was arrested at his home and taken to Topeka by deputy sheriffs when a mob gathered in front of the county jail and threatened to lynch the prisoner. Alexander in a statement to County Attorney Roland BOYNTON at the Topeka jail said he shot the women in self defense. Mrs. CARY told physicians at the Newman Memorial County Hospital, where she was taken last night Alexander's statement was false. Mrs. Cary said Alexander shot down the women without warning. Mrs. Demler and Mrs. Cary are sister. Mrs. Cary was separated from Alexander about a year ago and Mrs. Car's small daughter is living with her aunt. Mrs. Demler was the wife of Will DEMLER, a painter, on South Street." William ALEXANDER married Mrs. CARY in the early part of 1920 and they went to Canada to live, accompanied by Ellen Bell CARY, daughter of Mrs. Alexander by her first marriage. Early in 1922 Alexander sued his wife for divorce in Calgary, Canada, charging adultery. A divorce was granted. Alexander's wife took the name of Cary, and returned to Emporia with her daughter in February. Mr. Alexander came to Emporia bout a month later. He attempted to obtain custody of Mrs. Cary's daughter, but was told by the court he had no legal right to the child. The child's father came to Emporia from Nebraska and began proceedings against Mrs. Cary to have the child taken away from her mother and given to his parents. The motion by Cary's lawyer was granted by Judge HARRIS and custody of the child was given to Cary's parents. ****************** There is much more written but the general idea along with the story you will find at the above website gives everyone an overall view of the untimely deaths of the RIDDLE sisters. And as Daddy used to tell me: "Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think."

Russ, that might have been me. I contacted several people with Titus Co.; TX Riddles. I have Riddle/Boman ties in Wood county through my husband's family. He thinks that some of his folks may have been in Titus Co.
