My maternal grandfather, Edward Thomas Stennett, born 1860, was a photographer & carpenter, and lived at Crany (Wyoming County) for much of his life. He traveled over much of Wyoming County from about 1885 through 1930, taking pictures of people, events, and the lumbering industry. He used a "Putnam" camera with tripod, which used glass slides as seed plates which were slipped into the back of the camera. He was a successful photographer and was able to support his family at the turn of the century through this type of work. I was given the opportunity of scanning many of the glass plates, which were in poor condition, but good enough to produce legible photos. The photos are of unknown persons, and the reason I'm publishing them is to give everyone who subscribes to the Wyoming County list an opportunity to view them, with the thought that somewhere, you may have at one time seen one of these photos, perhaps in your friend's, parent's, or grandparent's homes and could help in identifying some of them. The photos in all probability were taken within a radius of 30 miles of Crany. I am including the web address where these photos may be viewed. If anyone can identify any of them, please contact me. Any effort is appreciated. Thank You. Ed Davidson [email protected] http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/a/v/Edsel-Davidson-FL/index.html

Lee, I found your dads registration card on Ancestry. I have not been able to find any navy records there because I have been looking for my uncles.the army ones are there. Anyway it shows Everette Elmer Hash age 19. He had blue eyes, light hair and medium height. He registered on September 11, 1918 and his occupation was engineering. Would you like a copy?

Lee, check out this address for information on obtaining military records. My dad served in the army during WW I and I have several of his records to include his discharge certificate that the personnel center sent me. You might give them a try.

I have been searching the Census Records for my dear OLE Dad. He was in the Navy sometime in 1920. Do the Military keep or compile such records ?? After a very long search I found Daddy, under another first name, Emmett E. Hash, in the 1930 Census Records. My Mothers name was of her actual given name Josie J. And looking down further I found myself listed at age 3+. My name was recorded correct except they left off an extra “e”. It was a total shock which tells me that I’m an old man nowadays. Like reading my own obituary, weird feeling. My Sisters name was recorded as Lottie (Loretta) at age 1. I remember the Census taker coming by the house that day and when mother told Daddy he was there he had some funny comments, seems he didn’t like nosey people.

Tweety, I haven't sent you anything for awhile, so I thought I would submit a little snippet to let you know I am still in business. Enjoy, Dad ================================================ As a teenager on Coon Branch, I enjoyed walking the road after dark, either alone or perhaps accompanied by someone. The walk, by nothing more than starlight, from Matheny to our home, after church or a movie, was a regular occurence. I enjoyed the country solitaire and the night sounds. I was awed on clear nights by the heavens over me. In those days we could easily distinguish the milky way unencumbered by the pollution that is commensurate with city living and industrial progress. I even value the memory of the dogs barking in the distance or as I passed a house near the road. I paid them no mind; they were no threat. They all knew me; we were on a first-name basis. They were simply doing what was expected of dogs and would go back to sleep once I passed. I could count on passing two or three groups of cows lying in the road at various places along my route. I have on several occasions nearly stumbled over a cow because I was unable to see her until I was practically on top of her. There was no place darker than Coon Branch on a cloudy night. Often I could scarcely make out the road in front of me. I confess I was a little nervous at times, particularly after Uncle Sefton told that story about seeing a ghost as he was driving by the mouth of the Mackley holler one night. However, I got over it. Furthermore, I showed the world how brave I was by whistling as I walked by the graveyard. Nothing builds courage like whistling in the dark. Here's another: Going barefoot was the “funnest” thing. It was something that we did as youngsters that was so common that it could be easily overlooked on a list of life's simple pleasures. As children most of us loved going barefoot. I actually still enjoy that freedom of walking around totally barefooted on a beach or grass covered with morning dew without shoes or sandals encroaching on my feet. My friends and I could hardly wait for the weather to warm in the spring so that we could go “barefooted” (barefoot). We would take off our shoes and socks whenever we had the chance. We usually rushed the season. It was difficult at first until our feet became accoustomed to it, but after a few days, most young boys could walk over gravels and rocks and give it no more thought than they would have if they were walking on carpet. There was something about rolling our britches legs to our knees and going barefoot that had a special appeal for us all when we were in our early teens. We could run faster, jump higher, wade the mud puddles and we couldn’t care less about that despicable mud. We even worked barefoot in the fields. I try not to think about the negative aspects of going barefoot, but the memory of lost toenails from stubbing my toes and the pain of removing myriads of briars from the bottom of a foot that was tougher than a rhino’s hide wont let me forget. It seems that at least once each summer I managed to find a board with a protruding rusty nail to step on which made a wound that always got infected. It healed in time and I never went to a doctor for help.

Hello everyone, Very little news. I've finished the radiation treatments and I thank each and every one for your thoughts and prayers. As I said previously, to take xrays or scans now would just show the scar tissue as another tumor. So I go back on May 1st for further testing. I am still very weak and very exhausted. The major part of my life is spent sleeping. When I am awake, of course, I'm eating. But within 20 minutes, or less, I'm asleep again. My body's time clock has me waking up at 10:30 at night. Sometimes I stay up until 1 a.m. during which time I do household chores like dishes, laundry, or planning the next family history lesson. On occasion, such as church on Sunday, I force myself to stay awake. I seldom get there on time but I do make the effort. I am so thankful for the Meals On Wheels. I couldn't possibly rely on preparing every meal. Well, I've already sat here and fallen asleep so until next time...... Sally = **************Planning your summer road trip?
