We had a very enjoyable visit this Morning. Jim even drank coffee I made. I have read in the Bible that young men have visions of the future, while old men have dreams of the past, so we mixed Jim's vision's with my old dreams. When Jim is ready, we are going to spend lots of time rambling around Red River County back roads, and I am not sure where we are going to find the space to tell you about it all, because they would probably throw us both off the web site. Wish that any of you that would like to could join us, because between the two of us, we can show you old trails that have been forgotten by many.. Really looking forward to that Jim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Giddens" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 12:52 PM Subject: [TXREDRIV] Visit with Sam > Just got back from about a 2 hour visit with Sam.

Simple as it is written, this is my Grandfather, Pop Russell's recipe for Corn Meal Dumplings with Ham Hock Ham hock - Boil in water until meat falls off bone. Dumplings - Make hot water corn bread with a little chile powder added. Drop hot water corn meal in boiling ham hock broth. Papa's Hot Water Cornbread Boil Water. 1 1/2 cup Plain White Corn Meal - no self rise Salt to taste Pour Hot Water to desired thickness. Wet hand with cold water. Roll 1 1/2 tablespoon into ball. Put on wax paper. Smash with hand and make fingerprints. (Or in case of dumplings, drop in ham hock boil). Fry slowly in cooking oil. This is all I have. However, I will add once more - they were delicious. I would think you would have to cover the pot as you would for regular dumplings. Rosalie/New Boston

Before my husband died in 2000, we went to Elmore, Alabama but did not find a connection to his Elmores that were from Obion County, Tennessee to Stoddard County, Missouri about 1900. He felt that there was a connection because of so many names alike. PAT SHIVELY ELMORE

Just got back from about a 2 hour visit with Sam. It is nice talking eye ball to eye ball and talking about the days of yesteryear. I did not know Sam when I was younger, but both us have known a lot of the same people over the years. My wife remembers him from the Fulbright years. I certainly do remember the Embrey name during the 50s and stopped a few times at his dad gas station on 37 near the Fulbright turn off, maybe I even bought gas from Sam. Is that possible Sam. (funny I did not think of this question when I was in your home this morning) We talked more about the location of Kerbow. Sam mentioned another road that use to go to Kerbow, that must be the road that we took to get there in the 50s. Seems to get there today I had better go by the directions Sam gave me by way of CR 1245 that runs from Fulbright to Batesville. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

Linda, Would you be related to Jim and Ruth Malone who lived about 8 miles west of Clarksville, had a little dairy? I'm also looking for Watkins (B.F., Maggie, Roach) relatives, Jenkins (Mack and Reecie, Myrtle, Laura) relatives.

Jim, Carol and all, What are they? Ilike chicken and dumplings if Mama makes them, but just the dumplings, none of the chicken.

Poke - you do not eat the berries because they are poison. You pick and eat the very tender leaves in the spring--not now. Don't want anyone getting sick! Poke comes up in all my flower beds but I just cut it down. Grandma said "waste not and want not" but I do not want Poke! PAT SHIVELY ELMORE

This is not like what my grandfather did. They were just old fashioned simple without all those ingredients. It was nice of you to look it up for us. I will get the recipe as soon as I can. I must go to work now. Rosalie/ New Boston

I will try to locate my grandfather's recipe. They are great. They are round, pink (from the ham hock juice) and steaming when they come out of the pot. Rosalie/New Boston

Is there anyone out there who knew the Sam and Stella Harvey Davis family.. They were my grandparents on my Dad's side, and since I was raise by by mother's mother, I didn't see them very often and don't know much about the family line on that side. I know they had 5 son's . and lived in the English community. Cathy ... family names, Davis, Smith --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

I think we'd all like to have it. So how about posting to the list. That has to be considered genealogy since it came from an ancestor...lololol Carol

could you send me the recipe for corn dumplings? Please?? Thanks. Debra

I would like the recipe also. Maybe it will get me to take up cooking.

This is TOO funny. My granddad always told me that "Raw Head and Bloody Bones" lived in the attic of the old farm house in Honey Grove. Now that brings about a mental image for a little kid's vivid imagination!!! hahahaha That was just to keep us out of the attic. When we cleaned the house out so my granddad could move to town in the late 60's I was in my late teens and had to check myself to keep from looking into the dark corners of the attic.............I truly expected to see the glowing red eyes of "Raw Head and Bloody Bones". I still get that creepy feeling anytime I am in the attic and I am 53 years old. hahahaha Nancy in Texarkana -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: 08/07/05 19:15:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TXREDRIV] Kerbow Lake memories (rambling) No idea Carlene. LOL Daddy must have read it in some book, and then quoted it to us. Something about spooks and now my mind is blank. I was about 7 in those days. We played outside and near dark we would climb up in the back of Daddy's Ford pickup, and say"the witches are coming toooonight, and I can still remember how we would hop down out of the back of the truck and run inside, and we were all shaky and trembling. The "we", was my sister, Kathy about 8 or 9, my little brother Mike about 5 or 6, and me. We could hear the coyotes howling, too. They spooked us a little, but not much. They were all around, but pretty far away. Well, I best go for this time. I was bumped off the list for awhile, and I really missed everyones talk, especially the rambling.
