Hi everyone. I just talked with Florence Williams Cornwell's nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in IL. 630/833-1400. She said Florence was doing very well and that the doctor's had already been up to see her this afternoon. She was to have had the mascetomy at 1:30, but they did it at 10:30 a.m. Thank you all for your prayers. I'm sure FLOCORN will be back chatting with all of you very soon. Nina Morton T.

The following was sent to me by a friend. Have fun and be sure to read my comment at the end. Chip CAT DIARY DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed. DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night. DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.... DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth. DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue. (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time. Rae Smith http://www.angelfire.com/de/LawDog/index.html http://www.angelfire.com/tn/sexton/index.html http://www.angelfire.com/tn/sexton/Lay.html I knew my cat looked at me funny! Thing is though about the stairs. Today I had the basement garage door open and this blue tailed lizard came in. It would have gone unoticed if not for the bang bang bang crash noise I heard. I looked up in time to see my cat falling down the stairs. Actually falling head over paws until he landed with a thud on the bottom step right on his back. Then he was off again and chased the lizard around the basement. Finally he pounced and stepped on it's tail. As he started to chomp on the poor creature the tail came off. You should have seen the look on his face! He just stood there watching the lizard run away leaving his tail behind. You have never seen a more astonished cat. So of course he let it go. Then of course I had to catch this lizard and remove him from my house. See I am much more afraid of my wife than any lizard. If she had come home and I said "Honey, guess what? I let a lizard in the house" she would have stomped me. And my tail don't come off! Chip

Our Union County Families has been out for some time. So is there a volume III or not?? Karen

It would be nice to get some of the info in the book corrected before the reprint. According to all the Sheckles researchers the info about that line in the book is wrong. George M.

Below you will find the two letters I received asking me to post the information for Mrs. Graves on Maynardville.Com. If any of you find out different let me know. Wouldn't it be great if it was a volume three and turned out to be one and two combined? Chip I thought I should give you this message from work before I forget. In my quest to find copies of the book "Our Union County Heritage" I found out that volume 1 and 2 are being reprinted. I spoke to the author, Mrs. Graves today. She said that she would be glad to take orders by phone or mail. She expects that the books should arrive very soon. I thought maybe some others would also like copies of these books before they are out of print again. If anyone is interested they can call Mrs. Graves at 423-***-**** or write to her at P.O. Box 35, Maynardville, TN 37807 and reserve their copy. Pam Mitchell Chip Would it be possible to post it on the Union County web page? Mrs. Graves gave me her permission. If it would be against policy you could give my home email address and I would be glad to direct anyone who would like to buy the books to Mrs. Graves. My home address is Volfan99@gateway.net. Let me know. I know there are a lot of other folks out there on the Union Co. page that might like to have one of the volumes.

Chip, I was wondering if there was anyone on the list who might be able to help me. I am trying to find the parents of my gggrandfather. His name was Euil or Euel McKee. He was born in Maynardville in 1855. Would anyone have access to the 1860 census that might be able to find his parents or any suggestions as to where else to look for this information. He had at least two brothers I think their names were Paris and Hugh McKee. Thanks, I hope there is someone out there that might be able to help me. I just don't know where to look for help.

I spoke to the author, Mrs. Kathleen Graves and she in fact ordered the reprints of Vol. I & II. Because it has been so long since they were originally printed the plates used to print the books were destroyed. The reprints were ordered about 3 months ago and Mrs. Graves told me today that she spoke with the printer and that they should be coming soon. She would be glad to hold copies for those who wish to have one. She is not sure yet about the price but figures it will be at least $50 per book because of the expense of having to make new plates. Chip has listed her address at Maynardville.com Mrs. Graves has promised to call me when the books come in.

Where can Our Union County Heritage book be purchased at? I really would love to have it. Renee

I have "Our Union County Heritage" copyright 1978 by Kathleen George Graves & Winnie Palmer McDonald and "Our Union County Families c.1992 by Winnie Palmer McDonald & Bonnie Heiskell. I believe that there is a book between these two. That's the one I would like to have. Does anyone know anything about it being reprinted?
