Thanks Bill...that's the version I remember hearing before. I know there were a few floating around, but they'll add color to my book anyway! Donna wmcconne <[email protected]> wrote: Donna, there's at least three versions. The one I like best is that the indian tribes had a big meeting in the Gizzard and were roasting some turkey's. The big chief got the choice of the first piece and he reached in and grabbed a gizzard. He took a big bite and it burned his mouth severely. He tossed it to the ground yelling "damn this fiery gizzard" He probaly didn't actually say damn - I'm sure he had a stronger work in mind at the time. This has also been told as happening to Davy Crockett and others.

Hello All.... I'm putting together a book on my mother's family (Harris) and I wanted to include some history of the Fiery Gizzard. Does anyone know the story of how it got it's name? Thanks! Donna

Yes, my Aunt Jessie V. always had hers on in the kitchen. I can remember another usage for that old apron. She canned EVERYTHING from her garden and I can remember her apron helping to open many of those canning jars in her kitchen. macbetty <[email protected]> wrote: This is a wee bit off topic but who doesn't remember our Moms or Grandma's wearing one-- It brought back and invoked so many memories, I just had to share with all of you -- Betty Aprons I don't think our kids know what an apron is.

Bill that was a real treat to get to read your letter-- thank you for sharing-- Oh Iley you better put some gravy on them too --LOL -- Actually potatoes were a staple all over the world-- When I was growing up we had potatoes three meals a day , 7 days a week -- we only had meat on Sunday-- when I was growing up -- all the cousins knew my Mom insisted we have meat for Sunday dinner and so they always showed up for dinner that day. --- I personally think fried potatoes with onions are a real treat now. I have two girls that love buttermilk and cornbread . I have got to where I love to have buttermilk and soda crackers-- Sweet milk you can have, but buttermilk is a staple in this house hold.

When my folks finally moved to Marion co, they stayed there. They ran a sawmill on Battle Creek and depended on other to do the logging. Below is an exerpt from a letter which I find fascinating and can only be appreciated by those with Scot-Irish ancestors in re the potatoes. It's from my great grandmother to my great grandfather's sister. My great grand parents were living near McMinniville at the time (May 1885). The recipient lived in Michigan. “We are getting a good many strawberries. We have not tried to put them up eny only what are left over that we could not sell. We have them 3 times a day with a shortcake for dinner every day so you need not wonder what we will have for dinner. We got tired of lettuce and onions so do not care so much for them as we did but have them on the table for dinner and supper every day. Don’t you believe father eats onions and drinks buttermilk for dinner and supper every day? We get it fresh every day. We pay 10 cts per gallon for buttermilk and five cts for sweet milk. Butter is twenty-five cts per pound. Our potatoes did not get here until last Tuesday. We done without several days. You’d better believe they tasted good when they did come. We cooked some for supper that night and filled up” -----Original Message----- From: Mike & Donna OBrien <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Log Camp School >LOL!

My family were sawmill people and I can only pinpoint them at the census dates.

Yes, potatoes played a big part in our family meals too! I love how they always differentiated between Buttermilk and Sweet Milk that must come from the Scots-Irish too as Buttermilk was always in the house. wmcconne <[email protected]> wrote: When my folks finally moved to Marion co, they stayed there. They ran a sawmill on Battle Creek and depended on other to do the logging. Below is an exerpt from a letter which I find fascinating and can only be appreciated by those with Scot-Irish ancestors in re the potatoes. It's from my great grandmother to my great grandfather's sister. My great grand parents were living near McMinniville at the time (May 1885). The recipient lived in Michigan. “We are getting a good many strawberries. We have not tried to put them up eny only what are left over that we could not sell. We have them 3 times a day with a shortcake for dinner every day so you need not wonder what we will have for dinner. We got tired of lettuce and onions so do not care so much for them as we did but have them on the table for dinner and supper every day. Don’t you believe father eats onions and drinks buttermilk for dinner and supper every day? We get it fresh every day. We pay 10 cts per gallon for buttermilk and five cts for sweet milk. Butter is twenty-five cts per pound. Our potatoes did not get here until last Tuesday. We done without several days. You’d better believe they tasted good when they did come. We cooked some for supper that night and filled up” -----Original Message----- From: Mike & Donna OBrien To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Log Camp School >LOL!

My Dad lives on the Collins River on the other side of Beersheba Mountain (on 56 Hwy heading toward McMinnville). That's why it struck me as odd that this school was way out at Gruetli. They were doing a lot of logging in those days for work, so I imagine my grandfather moved them back up the mountain. His family was from the Gizzard, so that could be why too (closer to them). Duh! Camp Four! -- the lightbulb just went on (LOL!) That's why it was a "Log Camp" School. Donna wmcconne <[email protected]> wrote: Werner probably was somebody's name.

Bill: Thanks...Gee, I never thought of looking on USGS. I assumed Werner was a person's name. Good thinking! I would have never guessed it was all the way out near Gruetli-Laager and Palmer, so I'll take a look at it on the map. Thanks again...

It was/is about 4 miles ENE of Grutli and about 2 1/2 miles north of Palmer.

Okay, this is probably a long shot, but I'm trying to figure out the details of an old photo. My grandmother wrote on the back what looks like "Werners Log Camp School" -- Mr. Gilbert Shely. The front of the picture looks like a school group and she marked it "Shely's Best" -- In the picture are children with these surnames: Patrick, Harris, Sherman and King. I'm guessing the date to be about 1928. Does anyone know if this school was in Warren or Marion Co? I tried Grundy first because that seemed most logical, but nobody seemed to know where it is.
