JimmyG, you are right, I am at Texoma with my boat sitting about 12 feet away. What a great day God made for us today!! I have always loved the water. Some of my earliest memories are of going to Crystal Lake ,just south of Annona. Before we went to the lake my brother,Bobby, and I would go to the cowshed and dig for grub worms. It seemed like they were more plentiful there than another place. We would then go by John Shadid's on the north side of town, near where Billy Petty lived, to get minnows. That was if we had a little money. Usually we would got to a few of the pools/tanks and seine them to get our minnows. Now, I have never liked snakes and it seemed like we always had snakes in the seine when it was walked out the end of the .pool/tank. I was always glad that my brother was taller than me, since he was four years older, and he had to walk in the pool/tank pulling the seine while my uncle Lloyd Cornett would pull the other end. I waited on high ground until they got to the edge of the water ,I would then get ready to catch the minnows before they got out of the seine and back into th! e water. We would then go to Crystal Lake, use one of the flat bottom, wooden boats and bait the trout line that we always had on the south side of the lake. We would continue to bait and run the line all day. We always caught a lot of fish. The best part of the day was when we got home. Mama would get the grease hot while we cleaned the fish. Boy, what a feast we would have, fresh fish, French fries and sliced tomatoes. My Granddad, Monroe Cornett, was a charter member of the Crystal Lake Club and I have maintained my membership there so that our family has had membership there since the lake was built over 90 years ago. There have been a few changes made at the lake since I was a kid,... but not many. What good memories!!!!

I think he could be there. I ask my grandson, her remembers the name George, but that is it. I see no listing for Old Shiloh Cemetery in the RRR book. I bet Lawrence & Sue Dale have it in there computer. I will check the names next time I am in the area and will have my note pad. Not just sure when that will be (however it could be this week-end).
