  • Journeys Through Jackson is the official journal of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Inc. The journal began as a monthly publication in July 1991, was published bimonthly from 1994 to 2003, and continues today as a quarterly publication. The journal issues in this digital collection are presented as annual compilations.
  • c J o u r n e y s T h r o u g h J a c k s o n The Official Journal of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Inc. C Vol. VII, No. 1-2 January-February, 1997 JACKSON COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, INC. 1996 Officers ^> President William L. Crawford Vice Presidents Barbara W. Dooley Rick L. Frizzell Secretary Marilyn G. Morton Treasurer David C. Frizzell Chair, Publications R. Larry Crawford Journeys Through Jackson is the official publication of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Members and non-members are invited to submit genealogical materials for publication, with the understanding that the editor reserves the right to edit these materials for genealogical content, clarity, or taste. The Society assumes no responsibility for errors of fact that may be contained in submissions, nor are the opinions expressed those of the editor or of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. FROM THE EDITOR Mea culpa...mea culpa. Barbara Dooley, one of our Society Vice-Presidents and one of our most accomplished genealogists, (hold it a minute-Barbara Dooley might have INVENTED genealogy), passed along a query last fall. It was promptly placed in the wrong file, where it has lain in repose with a correction from Linda Maxwell and the numbers of Peggy Queen Mason's backordered issues of JTJ. Sincere apologies to Mr. Millsaps in Washington. We hope that he will take consolation in the fact that Mr. Cowan, also in Washington, and Mr. Gold in Oklahoma were lost for even longer. The editor's incompetence, however, is not a problem for the other members of our Society. What an outstanding ^y lineup of materials comes your way this time. Start with Kirk Stephens, who explains the Internet in language all of us can understand. Then be prepared to enjoy the primary source documents of the Turpin box, an amalgamation of materials that would bring forth Pavlovian responses from archivists, and are pretty effective in overwhelming mere genealogists. Mack Sutton requested of his cousin Jometa Medford that she share these with us...many thanks to both of them. Mack also provided another of Jackson County's important cemeteries for us and has shared a Civil War letter with us this time. The man is tireless. Ruth Shuler abstracted the 1927 Jackson County Death Certificates for persons born before 1900, and Dorris Beck has sent along more pedigree charts. See how easy the editor's job is when this kind of work is going on? Be watching this year for your responses to the December questionnaire, for voluminous work from Betty Cope Andrews, for the conclusion of the Frizzell grandchildren series, for more of Mack's cemetery work, and even for a surprise or two. Remember to check your mailing label for accuracy. If you see an error, please inform the Society. The March- April issue will be the last one for those who have an R96 on the label. Remember that we need you and your ideas. We are a strong society, and you help to make us that way. Resolve to do genealogy in 1997, even if those other patrons in the library stare at you when you suddenly start running around the room, airms flying as you shout about your discovery, or your co-workers begin to comment about your glazed eyes, or your family is quite shaken when you bolt from the bed at three o'clock in the morning to check something in a notebook. You are allowed these eccentricities, with the blessings of all other genealogists. y Journeys Through Jackson, January-February 1997 Table of Contents i ^ Queries 1 Rooting Through The Internet 2-4 The Turpin Box 5-8 The Family of Samuel M.

U Rooting on the Internet Most genealogists view the Internet as something between a newfangled menace and the greatest thing since the Gutenberg press (which I believe predated sliced bread). Many genealogical societies are being invaded by packs \^J of geeks (usually led by an alpha geek) intent on intimidating anyone not "on the net." But regardless of one's position on the continuum, questions abound about the usefulness of the Internet as a serious genealogical tool. And since many of those questions are directed to me, this document provides an overview of the tools, a listing of some good starting points (including those confounded Internet addresses), and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section about genealogical content on the Internet. Above all, this document is intended to demystify and debunk all the jargon associated with computers and the Internet. Of the Internet's collection of tools, three are heavily used by online genealogists: electronic mail, usually called e-mail; news groups, a derivative of e-mail; and the World Wide Web, or simply "the Web." E-mail is not unlike regular postal service, but is delivered more quickly. For this reason, many budding computer geeks refer to the postal service as snail-mail. Generally, it is believed that people are more likely to respond to e-mail than to postal mail because it is easy to respond: no stamps or envelopes, return addresses are automatically inserted, and e-mail messages don't normally get lost in a stack of papers. Most importantly, for the genealogist whose information is kept on computer, it is simple to copy information from one place and "paste" it into an e-mail. There is little or no need for retyping, rewriting, or going to the Xerox machine. I learned long ago that those asking for information should make it as easy as possible for others to provide the answers - for many researchers, e-mail provides that simplicity. E-mail, like postal mail, requires an address. Finding those addresses can be difficult, but news groups help bring researchers together. A news group is nothing more than an electronic bulletin board. It would be impossible for me to track down an e-mail address of everyone researching the Stephens family, but I can find a group devoted to Stephens family research. To use this resource, I e-mail my query to the group. Researchers from all over the w o r l d ly visit the group; those suspecting a connection to my line can add information to the group or send a private response via e-mail. An often used analogy of e-mail and news involves the push-pull concept. To effectively use e-mail, I must find an address and "push" my message to that person. To use a news group, I post a message to the group and others "pull" the information that applies to them. Every genealogist has browsed back issues of a publication looking for queries. News groups and e-mail simplify the searching and the circulation is world-wide. Many family associations use "mailing lists," a hybrid of e-mail and news. Any message sent to the list is automatically "pushed" to every subscriber. Some newsgroups that I find helpful are: soc.genealogy. computing soc.genealogy.methods soc.genealogy.misc soc.genealogy.surnames There are also soc.genealogy. * groups dedicated to African, Australian, English, French, German, Hispanic, Irish, Jewish, Nordic, and Slavic ancestry. Occasionally, there are genealogical entries in the soc.history. groups for all wars and the socreligion. Mormon and Quaker groups. Although Internet mailing lists are free, a subscription request must be sent by e-mail to a specific computer. The largest genealogical mailing list is ROOTS-L. Because it is large and general, joining ROOTS-L will bring several hundred messages per day to your e-mail box. For a comprehensive list of newsgroups and mailing lists, point your Web browser to www.eskimo.com/~chance/. Some excellent mailing lists are available from the MAISER (an abbreviation for Mail Server) at the University of Indiana. The lists are either surname-specific or area-specific. For help, send the message HELP to maiser@rmgate.pop.indiana.edu. Some mailing lists available from MAISER that ~- I find useful are: ^-^ <^ o NC/SC-ROOTS TNROOTS DEEP-SOUTH-ROOTS (there is no specific Georgia list) The World Wide Web is the newest, fastest-growing, and easiest-to-use segment of the Internet. It is possible to browse and read information by clicking a mouse button. Web sites usually have a strange looking address such as www.southwest.cc.nc.us/kirks/, which contains information about my families, genealogy, and research. The web is based on a concept called "hypertext," geek-speak for the ability to link documents together. When a link is clicked, another document is retrieved. The location of the documents is transparent - the first may be in Asheville, the second in Taiwan, the third in Sylva. The computer handles all the mechanics and the user can focus on the content. One exciting new development is the USGenWeb project (www.usgenweb.com/). Almost every county in the United States has been "adopted" by one or more genealogists. These county pages provide content, have queries, list family names, and connect researchers. Since the project is relatively new, many of the pages are lacking quality information. But many are rich in content. Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky are leading in quality content. With the exception of Swain, the westernmost counties of North Carolina are online. The coordinator of the North Carolina pages is Diane Miller {golden@flex.net). The Jackson county page (www.acu.edu/~gibsond/genealogy/jackson/) is maintained by David Gibson (gibsond@nicanor.acu.edu). Other good Web sites for genealogists include: Helm's Genealogy Toolbox www.tbox.com/genealogy.html Journal of Online Genealogy www.onlinegenealogy.com/ National Genealogical Society www.genealogy.org/~ngs/ The Genealogy Home Page www.genhomepage.com/ The Internet is only one tool of the successful genealogist, but is definitely changing the way information is shared. Newsletters can be typed and distributed electronically for "free" using e-mail. Mail can be directed to one person, one family, or thousands of readers with equal simplicity. News groups offer the opportunity to connect with researchers around the globe and the Web connects it all. Using the Internet is normally the second step for the "computerized genealogist." Step one. is organization and cataloging of relatives. There are many good genealogical database programs available with prices from $20 to $200. Using the Internet will not make you more organized. In fact, it will generate more scraps of paper and tidbits of unrelated information than imaginable. It is important to be comfortable with researching and organizing information before you tackle the Internet. For that reason, I would add to this discussion one imperative: Find and join a local genealogical society! I am a regular user of the Internet for both vocation and avocation, I can run with the best of the alpha-geeks, but I would have given up genealogy years ago without the encouragement, support, and knowledge I have gained from my local society. There is no substitute. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I use the Internet to access the information of the Latter Day Saints Church? A: No. The Latter Day Saints prefer that you visit one of their facilities. There are plans to make ^y parts of the LDS collection available on the Internet, but no timeline has been announced. The official LDS web site (www.lds.org) contains no information about genealogy. Q: Are County Records online? A: No. County governments aren't widely know for innovation. It will be a few more years before birth and death indices are online. However, in some areas, county governments and genealogical groups are cooperating to provide original documents through the Internet. A recent example is the Library of Virginia Digital Collection (http://image.vtls.com/) Q: Are there libraries online? A: Yes. There are thousands of library card catalogs available online. But you'll still need to use Interlibrary Loans to get the book. Q: Are there genealogy books online? A: Mostly No. Remember that works protected by copyright law cannot be placed on the Internet without the permission of the author. Some works which are not copyrighted are available online. Q: Are there maps online? A: Yes! There are many current and historical maps available online, including the U.S. Geological Survey (www.usgs.gov/) and Goldbug (www.goldbug.com), which reproduces historical maps. Q: Should I be afraid to give information about myself to others on the Internet? A: No. But don't give any information over the Internet that you wouldn't normally give others. Remember that 95% of the Internet is free. Internet scams are not as prevalent at the media would have us believe. I have purchased many products via Internet with much better service than I get at Wal-Mart. Q: What's the best resource online? A: Other genealogists who are researching your families or areas of interest. Start by searching the Roots Surname Lookup (www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/searches/rslsearch.htmt) for contacts. Q: Do people really find stuff this way? A: YES! In the past couple of months I have found possible parents for my g-g-grandmother Violet Fortner Brown; I discovered a "cousin" in Los Angles who introduced me to four n ew Arrowood grandfathers: fifteen pages of information and five pages of documentation! And thanks to Barbara Dooley, I just met nine generations of Dentons and Chastains who need me to document their existence. Kirk Stephens kirks@wcu. campus, met net Ky \ y c o o THE TURPIN BOX [Ed. Some materials defy mere description. They are of such exceptional interest to genealogists that they beg to be read, studied, and conversed over, and they still hold a fascination beyond their intrinsic value. Such is the collection of the papers of James H. Turpin. We are indebted to Jometa Medford for allowing us access to this green box full of the history and transactions of the Turpin family.] May 30th 1838 Mr Joshua Hall please to let Mathew Haney have four Bushels of Corn and I will settle with you for the Same whenever I come home and oblige yours Jas Turpin Mr James Turpin pleas to give up that note I let you have on Jasper Cockerham as he has payd me the money and I will settle with you may the 11 1839 Jason Sherrill Qualla May 26 1843 Mrs. Cockerham If Mr. Hefley(?) has not swaped off the mare and colt let Mr. Turpin have them for his horse and let him have the cow if not sold.

FRIZZELL AND SABINA DEITZ [Ed. Eighth of the children of Jason and Margaret Gribble Frizzell, Samuel and his family continue a project assembled in February 1995 by Larry Crawford. Grandchildren numbers are relative to the Frizzell grandparents.] Jason and Margaret Frizzell were the parents of four sons, all of whom served in the War Between the States. Samuel was the youngest of these sons, and he has a Confederate marker at Old Love Chapel Cemetery. Thank goodness for an extant Bible record, because he is the only one of this family, except for a small granddaughter, with a marked grave. Samuel was born 30 Sep 1840, and on 21 Feb 1869, married Sabina Deitz, born 11 Jan 1846. Both lived long lives, Samuel dying 15 Jun 1911, and Sabina following him 4 Jun 1925, after having outlived eight of her twelve children. Their children: William Harrison Frizzell (1870) m. Sallie Moss Sarah Frizzell (1871) m. John Monteith Margaret C. Frizzell (1871) m. John Alvis Parris. Allen Raines Frizzell (1873) (1901) Arlina Frizzell (1874) m. Allen C.

He would marry Sallie Elizabeth Moss, born 16 Jun 1867, on 31 Oct 1897. They lived in the Webster area for a time, then moved to Addie. William Harrison died 6 Mar 1937, and Sallie 27 Feb 1923. They are buried in the Long Cemetery at Lovesfield. Their children: Bessie Ellen Frizzell (1898) m. Alonzo Jones Annie Frizzell (1900) m. Walter Burke Painter GRANDCHILD #58...SARAH FRIZZELL MONTEITH Born 13 May 1871, one of a set of twins, Sarah married on 17 Dec 1893 to John W. Monteith. If the facts are straight here, she was the great-granddaughter of Margaret Black Gribble, he was the grandson through a different marriage. Would that make them one-half first cousins once removed? Sarah's family is pretty much a mystery. She died about 1917, John on 5 Dec 1919. Thejr children are listed in guardianship records for Jackson County, and the youngest one in 1920 lived with the John Cathey Frizzell family (See Grandchild #24). The others moved to the Piedmont area of North Carolina...JCGS member Eugene McGinnis has known some members of this family. Children of John and Sarah: Mary Nina Monteith (1894) m. Walter Williams James Willis Monteith (1898) Joyce E. Monteith (1902) Granville Richard Monteith (1906) Alvin E. Monteith (1909) Herbert Monteith Curtis Monteith (1917) U GRANDCHILD #59...MARGARET C. FRIZZELL PARRIS Margaret, twin to Sarah, born 13 May 1871, would die young 2 Dec 1905. She was the first wife of John Alvis Parris, Sr., born 19 Aug 1874, their marriage taking place 5 Jun 1895. They possibly lost one child. After Margaret's death, Parris would marry again and become the father of John Parris, Jackson County author. Child of '^-^ Margaret and John: Elsie Otelia Parris (1896) m. Garland Stillwell GRANDCHILD #60...ALLEN RAINES FRIZZELL Allen Raines Frizzell,son of Samuel and Sabina, was born 10 Mar 1873, and died unmarried 1 Feb 1901. GRANDCHILD #61 ...ARLINA FRIZZELL PARRIS Arlina Frizzell, daughter of Samuel and Sabina, was born 19 May 1874, and would die 13 Jul 1950. She married on 15 Aug 1897, Allen Clingman Parris, brother to Margaret's husband. Allen was born 15 Jan 1869 and died 26 Mar 1954. This family is associated with the Dillsboro area, but a few of them also lived in the Scotts Creek section of Jackson County. Allen and Arlina are buried in the Parris Cemetery in Sylva. Their children: William Thomas Parris (1898) m. Amanda E. Shuler Infant Parris (1899) (1899) Maggie M. Parris (1901) m. Fidelia Moore Annie Irene Parris (1906) m. William Fred Russell Rufus Edward Parris (1908) m. Eunice Fisher David A. Parris (1911) m. Selma Fisher Buford Earl Parris (1914) m. Kathleen Jones Ralph Parris (1915) (1917) GRANDCHILD #62...MARTHA JANE FRIZZELL FRADY Martha Jane Frizzell was born to Samuel and Sabina on 9 Jul 1876. She would marry 6 Dec 1896 to her first Ky cousin once removed, Wilburn Sevier Frady, born 7 Jun 1869. Martha Jane died 11 Aug 1916, Sevier 11 Sep 1926. He is buried at East Fork. Their children: Carrie Frady (1898) David Frady (1900) Lola Mae Frady (1901) m. Ennis W. Ashe GRANDCHILD #63...JOHN ALEXANDER FRIZZELL John Alexander Frizzell was bom 27 May 1877 to Samuel and Sabina. He married his first cousin once removed, Candice Isabell Frady, born 20 May 1883. Alone of the Samuel children, this one lived on Little Savannah. This material is taken from an account written by a descendant's wife, Judy Frizzell. John Alexander lost his second son in an accident and apparently never recovered from the despair. He died in the state hospital 29 Jul 1933, and is buried in the cemetery there. Candice lived until 3 Dec 1964, and is buried at Stillwell Cemetery. Their children: Fred Seymour Frizzell (1899) m. (1) Bessie Morgan (2) Lina Morgan Roy Edmund Frizzell (1902) (1918) Jessie Frizzell Sadie Lee Frizzell (1905) m. Radford Hooper John Alexander Frizzell (1907) m.

Rossine 10 o GRANDCHILD #64...NANCY CALEDONIA FRIZZELL MONTEITH Nancy Caledonia Frizzell was born 22 Aug 1879 to Samuel'and Sabina. She married Lucius Pinckney Monteith and created the same genealogical conundrum as her sister Sarah who had married his brother John. She was the second wife of Lucius, and Nancy died young, on 10 Mar 1917, and according to her death certificate, is buried at Old Love Chapel. Lucius died 14 Dec 1941, and is buried at Cullowhee Baptist Church with his first wife. Children of Nancy and Lucius: Roy Thomas Monteith (1907) m. Dorothea Louise Pruett Harry Glenn Monteith (1908) m. Allie Mae Cearley Lucy Monteith (1910) m. Wilburn Fonnie Brown Child Monteith According to familiy stories, the fourth child accidentally drowned. GRANDCHILD #65...LABAN FRANK FRIZZELL Laban Frank Frizzell was born to Samuel and Sabina 5 Jun 1881, and died unmarried 9 Mar 1919. GRANDCHILD #66...LORA BELLE FRIZZELL Lora Belle Frizzell was born to Samuel and Sabina 30 Apr 1883, and died unmarried 12 Dec 1909. GRANDCHILD #67...MANDA ELLEN FRIZZELL Manda Ellen was born to Samuel and Sabina 1 Oct 1884, and died as a baby 29 Jul 1885. GRANDCHILD #68...DELLA ALMA FRIZZELL Delia Alma Frizzell was born to Samuel and Sabina on 28 Apr 1886, and unusually in'this family, would live a long life. She did not marry, but had one child with a John Ashe. The child, a little girl named Blanche, lived from 7 Nov 1917 until 16 Apr 1921. She has a marker at Old Love Chapel. Delia Alma died,13 Sep 1962, and is buried at Stillwell Cemetery beside her sister-in-law Candice Frady Frizzell. PROBLEMS IN THE SAMUEL AND SABINA DEITZ FRIZZELL FAMILY 1) Proper grave markers. Only Samuel and the little granddaughter can be positively identified at Old Love Chapel, yet this is Nancy's resting place also, and very probably Sabina,and all of the other children except Harrison, Arlina, John Alexander, and Delia Alma, whose burial sites are known. 2) Annie Frizzell Painter, who was still living in 1995 at the writing of this account, could remember Nancy's death and her burial at Old Love Chapel, where she is buried next to her child. 3) Any information on the Sarah family would be very welcome. 4) Joyce Parris, who writes the genealogy column for the Asheville newspaper, is possibly married to a descendant of Margaret Frizzell Parris.

Mack Sutton has shared with us a poignant letter about the death of a young Jackson County soldier. In addition to the dated syntax, one will notice the typical Confederate naive position that Yankees could not possibly hold out for more than a few months. The letter was copied verbatim from the original by Sara Thomas Campbell.] Valley Mountain Randolph Co. Va. August 28th 1861 Mr. Daivid Sutton My dear friend Through the Solicitations bf your sons John and Silas I assume the painful task of writing you a short epistle. I say it is painful to me because the intelligence which I am about to write you is relative to'the death of your son and my friend, James Sutton. He was taken down with the measles about three weeks ago during a very inclement rainy spell of weather which lasted about a week which' caused the inflamatory stage of the measles to settle upon his lungs and bowels producing a violent attack of typhoid pneumonia which terminated his existance last night about twelve o'clock. I attended him in connection with our Principal surgeon during his whole illness, never have I during all my practice as a physician saw anyone endure their sickness with so much calmness and resignation About twelve hours before his death I informed him of his approaching end and asked him if he was willing to die He said he was perfectly willing to go and said that he was going to heaven." Then he seemed a little confused and turned over on his bed and said in a low tone which J. distinctly heard, "Poor Jim has come away here to fight for his country and now has to die." He seemed to be grieved because had to die before he reached a battle with the enemy: but said if he was there at home and had strength he would come again. And now my dear friend in conclusion I can only say that I have noticed the conduct of James ever since we left home together and I think that I can safely say that I never saw a more ordily, civil, and temperate young man in all my life. I never heard him use any vain language never knew him to drink a drop of alcohol spirits and in fact ever since he left home he has been an orderly, sober and moral young man and was beloved by all the company. True he came to fight for his country like-a brave patriot and deserves as much praise and honor as though he had died upon the battle field. Yet God who doeth all thing for the best has through some wise dispensition seen fit to take him from our midst. I have no doubt to reign "where sickness and sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more." I have no doubt that this announcement will cause you all much sorrow, but we should remember that it is the fate of us all and we should all ways be resigned to the will of God. Silas has also been very sick with the typhoid fever but is now getting well. John enjoys good health. The balance of our company have nearly all been down with the measles but have all recovered. At one time we had forty-five down with the measles in our Company and about the same in other Companies of the regiment. But thank God we have all passed through with a lost of comparatively few. Our Company is now in tolerble health. We expect soon to have a fight with the enemy. Some preparations are now being made to make an advance upon them which is only about twelve miles distant there force and ours will be about equal. God only knows how things will result but if we are only successful in the first battle we will have all the Yankies out of Virginia in less than three months. Tell Joseph Messer that his son John is fat and saucy and has not had a days sickness since he left home and weighs about twenty pounds more than when he left home. As brother Dillard proposes finishing this letter I will close by sending my best wishes to all my friends in Jackson. Hoping to hear from some of them soon. I remain Your true friend and good wisher Jno. C. Love Ass't Surgeon 6th Reg't N.C. Vol. V ^ (Continued on next page) 2 1 My Dear friend \ This letter bears the tidings not of joy and news for the happy to rejoice but the sad intelligence of death, the king of Terrors has confronted us and borne from our midst one whose virtues and lovely disposition made him the pride of our company; and in thus depriving us of one we dearly loved, it has caused not only pain here, but gloom ^ ^ will settle around the brows of those, which but a few days ago was overshaddowed with the brilliant expressions of peace and happiness. The fate of man is death and though he may be surrounded by the charms of youth and animated by the constant exertions of friends and relations yet he must someday resign them all and meet the common enemy of all mankind death. It is a consolation for one when sickness prostrates the frame and fever parches the aching brow to have the dear ones at home to administer to their every wants and soothe the fevered body but when disease prostrates one in a foreign land how sweet to have ones friends to Stand by him and council him in his hours of afflictions. To have even a brother to keep his nightly watchings to leave nothing undone which would add to his comforture This has been the case with our young friend James though in foreign land he had both friends and brothers to cheer him in his afflicted hours and administer to his diseased frame, but God into whose hands we have committed him knowing what was best called him to the better land, where civil strife will never shock his vital frame and cause disease to unnerve his manly form. I attended him during his illness-took him to my own tent. Where he could be more comfortable attended to and watched by his bedside both night and day until his death. I talked to him frequently and would always find him cheerful. He died about 12 o'clock at night on the 27th of the month. The morning before he died I found his pulse was nearly gone and that he was dying. I gave him some stimulus and then in as composed a manner as possible commenced talking to him. I told him that he was very weak and was likely to die that we had done nearly all we could for him and that he must put his trust in God. I asked him if he was willing to die and he said that was. I asked him if he thought he would go to heaven and he said yes I told him trust in Jesus and pray for strength to support him. Here I was over come and could talk no more I understood him to say that he had done nothing that he was ashamed off had done no man any harm. He told some of the boys that he would like to see his brother Solomon and also said something about Henry but could not understand what it was. We had him buried deacently with a nice coffin about as nice as could be made in Jackson-He was burried in his uniform and his grave is marked with a stone with his name ^—* upon it. I hope that you will bear with the despensation as one of God's own keeping and with the fortitude of Christians. Our Company is now doing very well owing to so much sickness. We have had no fighting yet except a little skirmish in which we killed three of them without the lost of a man. One of our men was wounded he was one of the neighbours who was a guide for our men We will have some hard fighting to do in a few days. Your son John is sitting by me now while I write holding the ink his health is good. Silas has been very sick but will soon be well Hoping that God may protect us from all future ills I subscribe myself your friend and good wisher Dillard L. Love IstLt. Comp.
