It has taken years to have this collection. My German photos just came to me recently after being in my grandmothers attic in Germany for 100 years. I am a very lucky gal! For me jewelry,research and history just go well together. Hope you stop by again! Thanks for your comments on my COG photos!

I did not, but my cousin who lives in Edmond went and took some pictures for me. He was delighted to discover he had a great-great grandmother buried "in his own backyard." I keep hoping that I will have an opportunity to stop by and visit there myself, but since I live on the opposite end of the state of Tennessee, I don't get to Oklahoma as often as I did when I lived in a Memphis suburb or while growing up in Mississippi. I loved the story you shared about the revival meeting. I've read often about some of those early revivals (such as the one in Cane Ridge, Kentucky). I honestly don't think that I would have gotten caught up in all the emotional stuff that went on at those either. I applaud your Delilah for sticking to her decision to stay seated even though I'm sure it brought a lot of uncomfortable stares. I wonder how many of those who stood really had a change of heart--the thing that really mattered to God?

So interesting and well written. Like you, I was fortunate to find a book that contained some information about one of my ancestors. Information other than the statistical. Meat and bones information. Knowing something is so gratifying. I loved this section: "that preacher is not my captain. God knows the hearts of all his people, and it is not necessary to make unnatural and unbecoming demonstrations in order to merely gratify the curiosity of others." If only some of today's more prominent people had her strength. fM This was an absolutely brilliant post. So interesting and well written.
