Willie, There is a mill stone out on old Highway 127 just past the old Cargile Motel. It's at the service station next door. Have you seen it? Gary

I remember cleaning the Davidson Cemetery before decoration but can't recall that the women brought food for lunch.

Anna, Yes, those were the first artificial flowers as I remember. Some put real flowers in them and the glass usually fogged up. Those glass cases are something that I haven't thought about or missed until I saw that one in the cemetery recently. Also, I remember the men getting together on the Saturday before decoration Sunday. The men cleaned the community cemeteries and the women served the noon day meal.

Anna The one I am talking about looked to be made of wood and had a glass front. I will ask my husband's Aunt Jean about it. She will know. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

Gary I have never personally seen the flower boxes but I have a picture of my husband's grandmother in Alvinston Ontario Canada with a flower box on Grandpa Piros and Uncle Bob's graves. I wondered what they were and why the flowers were displayed that way. I thought maybe it was a Hungarian thing. They migrated in 1911 to Canada. They became Canadian citizens. Thanks for the input... Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

Gary, Are you talking about those paper mache type things? I saw some with artificial flower arrangements in them at Dollar General Store last week. They were the first I had seen since the 1950s.

Sounds very familiar, Millie. Thanks for sharing. Helen

Do you know the parents of Elizabeth and Susan Franklin or any more about them? I'm looking for descendants of Edward and Sally (?) Black Franklin of Fentress County. Thanks for any help. Barbara Franklin

Milly and all, Good memories indeed! I've actually participated in making those flowers as a boy myself. Fact is, we always went to at least three "decorations with dinner on the ground." They were Davidson Cemetery, Upchurch Cemetery and Wolf River Cemetery. Always loved that food! Still do - and it shows. My "new" shoes was a pair of used slippers that was usually bought at the Barlow Rains store in Cedar Grove for either $.50 or $1. And sometimes a bright shiny new pair of "blue" blue jeans. Whatever happened to blue blue jeans? I think they fell out of popularity with the hippy generation and were replaced with faded, worn out and ripped up jeans that looked more like the one's we wore in the tobacco and hay field. Anyway, thanks for the memories.

With Memorial Day just passing my thoughts returned to the forties and fifties when it was known as Decoration Day. My Aunts FAYE DELK YORK, OLGA DELK , LEXIE PILE DELK and Granny DELK would gather at my Aunt EFFIE DELK LEFFEW's home and make hundreds of beautiful flowers to decorate the graves. They seemed to have an assembly line where one would cut petals and leaves, one would shape them. Then they would sit and put the flowers together. After all were made they would dip them in paraffin so they would hold their shape. They would shape them in cross forms or others. Then the Decoration Day came. We rode on a flat bed truck to the Wolf River Cemetery and place them upon the graves of our ancestors. Wonder we didn't fall off cause there was no side panels..It was fun. The cemetery was across the road from the church. We went to the service and then a big huge dinner. I loved that day it was the beginning of the summer and I also got new clothes which was a rareity.......Oh such sweet memories of days gone by. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning....

Does anyone know anything about the parents of Effie L. Crabtree Holbert Pennycuff? I've not been able to conclusively find her or her parents on the census records. I have found a Harvey (Harve) Crabtree (b. July 04, 1891, Wayne County, KY) who is married to a Leila M. (or Lela) Smith (abt. 1902) with a daughter, Maggie Crabtree (b. March 02, 1919 in Wayne County, KY) on the 1920 Wayne County Census. The name of Maggie's mother was given as "Lela Smith" on her Maggie's birth record. On the 1920 Census they are living next door to both a Susie Smith (age 40) household and a Lizzie Groce (age 44) household. On the 1930 Wayne County Census, this Harve Crabtree family also has a daughter, Sarah, age 9, (besides Maggie) and they are still living beside the Susie Smith household (she is shown with two adopted children -- Leila Smith, age 10 and Ray Burgess, age 1 2/12). I've not been able to find any "Effie's" on the 1930 Wayne County Census. Now, I'm wondering if perhaps Efflie L. Crabtree, is the "Effie L. Groce" living next door to the Harve Crabtree family. On the 1920 Wayne County Census (dated 1/6/1920), Lizzie Groce has a daughter, Ellie (age 22, but listed as "married", but with the "Groce" name), in the household and there is also a "Effie L. Groce" (age 2 4/12) listed as grandaughter. There is also a "Lela L. Smith (or Groce) age 2/12 listed as grandaughter as well. Evidently, this Lizzie Groce's maiden name was "Crabtree", because on her son, George M. Groce's (Gross) Wayne County, KY birth record (12/13/1912) his mother is listed as "Lizzie Crabtree". I'm thinking that perhaps Effie L. Crabtree Holbert Pennycuff was the daughter of this Harve Crabtree (living next door) and Ellie Groce (daughter of Lizzie Crabtree Groce, b. abt. 1876 in KY). I don't know if this could be Effie's parents or not, but I've done a search all around for her and cannot find who her parents may be. Also, does anyone know who were the parent's of Effie's first husband, William Thomas Holbert? Also is the Delmer Pennyfuff (Effie's second husband) the son of James Matthew Pennycuff and Mary Ann (Molly) Beaty? Thanks so much. I'm sure this posting is very confusing, but I've been trying to get it figured out. Brenda -------------------------------------------------- EFFIE L.

Other info that I might have has just come through the family stories. I would love to know any facts that you have about A. B. Wright or his family. One of my cousins did find an original of one of the books used as a journal. I have had copies made, but have not had time to compare the original journal to the published works.
