Page 8 THE CRANE CHRONICLE/STONE COUNTY REPUBLICAN Thursday, February 28, 2013 Stone Ridge News Oma White 241 Yocum Pond Road, Galena, Missouri 65656 Hello folks, we have had some bad weather, rain, sleet, and snow. Thunder and lightning. Ice covered in some places, but thank the Lord, Jesus our electric power is still on. The electric goes off we have no heat. We only have a propane furnace for our heat. Some folks have said you have a flu why don’t you put up a wood stove. Well our flu is not safe, it needs to be torn down and a new one put up. You know it takes money to do that. My brother, Orie Foster was taken back to the hospital by ambulance last Wednesday. I called to talk to him, but his wife, Mildred answered and said they were giving Orie his breathing test. I went with my nephew, Monti Foster last Saturday to see his Dad, my brother Oliver Foster, Monti drove all the way to Fayetteville, Ark Veterans Hospital, only to find out he had been moved to Shiloh Health and Rehab in Springdale, Ark. So we went back there to see Oliver. Oliver wasn’t doing so well. I think he was more lonely than anything else. Another thing, his teeth got lost somehow when he was sent to Fayetteville for the hospital in Springfield. Anyone can go see Oliver. And I am sure my other two brothers; Orie and Johnny would like a Words from the Past for Now and the Future Part of the legacy that parents can leave for their children is words of advice or sayings that can be brought to mind and used whenever circumstances call for the need. Many of us can quickly call to mind words of advice our parents used with us as we were growing up. Not only parents, but people through the ages have left a legacy of advice for use in various occasions. Often I have thought of my mom saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” This has spurred me on many times when I was tempted to give up. Following are some sayings that would be helpful to use with children now to help them develop good character: “A man is known by the company he keeps,” or as my mom used to say, “Birds of a feather flock together!” Another of my mom’s was, “Pretty is as pretty does.” From my dad came, “Be a leader of what is right, not a follower of what is wrong.” He also said, “It is the truth that visit too. Johnny said he was feeling better. He’s in the Table rock Health Care at Kimberling City. Brothers get better, God bless you with love and prayers. Allen Cunningham said his wife, Connie, wasn’t feeling very good last weekend. You know she is taking chemo. Get better Connie. Had prayer for you and several others last Sunday. It was good to have Elmer Carr in church last Sunday, and Rev. Jack Keithley and another Rev. and his wife, sorry folks I don’t have your names. Anyway come again. Was good to have Sharon and Murl Mills back in church Sunday. Jack sang two beautiful songs. We are still missing several of you at church. Had a nice letter from an old friend, Olive Haynes from Cassville. We were close neighbors years ago. She said she reads my news in the paper. She has four daughters, Edna, Ellen, Ilene, and Alene, and said they lived close to her. Had a nice call from my cousin, Evelyn Fullerton tonight. She was asking about my brothers. Well it’s time to get this in the mail, so keep us and all the others in our prayers; folks in the nursing homes, in hospitals, at home, and all our service men and women. “Train up a Child...” By: Pat Lamb Phone: 417-338-0959 Questions or Comments: e-mail - patlee@centurytel.net hurts.” When I went to college, my youth leader at church wrote some sayings in a little brown notebook and gave it to me. One saying was, “An industrious man can do more with a rusty wrench than a lazy man with all the tools in the shop.” Another was, “If you never stick your neck out, you’ll never get your head above the ground.” I remember seeing in my doctor’s office when I was a child, “A teakettle sings when it lets off steam. Why don’t we do the same. In a pastor’s office I saw, “If the truth can’t stand the light, it isn’t the truth.” My father-in-law used to tell my husband, “Work never hurt anyone.” A restaurant owner once told a cook, “There’s dignity in hard work.” George Washington said, “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” He also said, “Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.” Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” A heading to a chapter in my eighth grade science book was as follows: He who knows not and knows not he knows not is a fool; shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not is simple; teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows is asleep; wake him. He who knows and knows he knows is wise; follow him. Sayings such as the ones mentioned can help guide children to right living. If we use these and the many others similar, we can give a legacy to our children that will stay with them forever.

Evelyn Allen Fullerton, Taney County News GROWING UP ON WILSON RUN CREEK We had just finished the last load of hay when my uncle and aunt (Floyd and Christle Morris) came by. They came to tell my mom that my Grandma Laura Audrey O’Boil Morris was very ill. She had appendicitis and was in the Burge Hospital (now Cox) in Springfield. I don’t know all the details. I was around eight years old when this happened. I know my Uncle Jim Morris, who is my mom’s older brother he always had a truck. He always visited my Grandparents, Laure and Henry Clay Morris often visited my Grandparents, Laure and Henry Clay Morris often. They lived west of Cape Fair. Uncle Jim and his wife Mamie lived in Reeds Spring. I don’t know who took her to the doctor; I think it was Dr. Shumate of Reeds Spring. Uncle Floyd who was my mom’s baby brother told her Grandma was having an appendectomy the next morning. Mom and Dad asked them to go by our dads parents farm and tell them us four children would be driving the wagon and team to their house to spend the day. Dad had no truck, but my Uncle Floyd said they could walk through the woods at the back of the barn and it would bring them out near his road. That night before we went to bed, everything had been explained on what the four of us were to do the next day. The morning dawned warm and clean. We all got up early. Mom fixed a big breakfast as usual; biscuits, gravy, bacon and canned fruit of some kind. We had on of these, wild blackberries, peaches, apples or pears. They milked the cows and feed the horses, I helped Edna and Ella get dressed. Dad harnessed the team of horses and hooked them to the rubber-tired wagon. Efton was eleven years old. He could handle the team very well. They were very gentle and well trained. Dad had them before I can remember. You just had to say, “get up,” guide them and they drove their selves at a fast walk. I set beside Efton in the spring seat and held my baby sister, Ella. She was about sixteen months old. Edna who would soon be seven, held on to the back of the spring seat as she stood up. I was just 8 years old. We watched our Dad and Mom walk up the hill at the back of the barn and disappear in the timber. We were on our way going up the road. We knew everyone who lived in each house. Our first neighbor was Will and Sarah Epley, after their farm was Dewey and Vinie Mease. Here at their house the road forked. The left fork went to highway 13, but we wanted to take the right fork. We were following Wilson Run Creek most of the way. The next farm was Arthur and Gladis Patrick; the next one was John Tolbert. We were at Sack and All City, a crossroad. It was the location of a Grist Mill when our Dad grew up. The people who lived near there had the last name of Jackson, here we turned right. We were on the farm to market road. This road turned off Hwy 13 and ended at the George L. Stone Farm on James River. On the left was the Smyth Farm where my aunt Hazel Smyth Blair grew up. She was married to my Great Uncle Boon. In a small house were Mr. and Mrs. Starkey. Next was John Tolbert’s son, Fred. After these folks there was a road turned off to the left where the Carver family lived. We stayed on the main road. The road went up a steep winding hill. After we reached the top there was Grandma and Grandpa Allen’s. We had made our journey without meeting a car or truck. Grandpa took charge of the team of horses and we walked to the back of the wagon bed and jumped to the ground. I helped Ella down and carried her into the house. It was made of logs. It had a big front room with a smaller room that had been added on the back. It was the kitchen and had a bed behind the kitchen table. Grandma had a good dinner of beans and ham, cornbread and fried potatoes. We helped Grandma, however we could. We rested and played on the front porch. The Allen Church was located beyond the peach orchard. Our Grandparents gave the land for the church many years ago. Before sundown, Grandma and Grandpa said it was time for us to start home. Grandpa was blind up close, but could see out there. He turned the wagon around and we loaded up. But, not before each of us got a hug and a kiss from our Grandparents. They warned us to be careful and told us if we met a car, to pullover and stop until it passed by. We arrived home without incident. Efton unhooked the team from the wagon and tied each in the barn and fed them. A set of harnesses was heavy to lift. Dad and Mom expected not to be late. When dark came, Dad and Mom were not home yet. Efton and I both were trained how to light the coal oil lamp. It set on the kitchen table. Efton took off the glass chimney and struck a match on the matchbox and lit the lamp and blew out the match. Placed the glass chimney back on. Mom and Dad were now home. They told us Grandma Morris had come through her surgery all right. For our supper they brought home two cans of pork and beans. I never had this before. It tasted good. According to my cousin, Ernestine, Grandma went to Uncle Jim and Aunt Mamie’s until she recovered. Grandpa Henry Clay stayed on the farm at Cape Fair in a few weeks she was able to go home.

Member Kitty Crider presented the educational program, “Historical Parallels with Australia and New Zealand” as she has travel there several times. Although the parallels are numerous-the Japanese bombed Brisbane, Australia; New Zealand experiences the Civil Rights Movements of the 60’s; New Zealand was having a civil war Thursday, February 28, 2013 THE CRANE CHRONICLE/STONE COUNTY REPUBLICAN Page 9 about the same time as the US, Kitty concentrated on three. The three countries have been Allies for years. All were in the Korean Conflict because the UN Security Council asked for help. New Zealand and Australia participated alongside Great Britain in the Commonwealth Division of Troops. After the conflict both Australia and New Zealand signed the ANZUS Treaty with the U.S. Both entered Vietnam as a result of that treaty. Countries on the North American continent benefited from God Rushes, as did both New Zealand and Australia. Miners traveled from the U.S. to Australia then on to New Zealand in hopes of finding their fortune. In doing so, the areas that sold supplies to the prospectors, and areas near the mines were settled. The economy of these areas were kick-started as people, investment and shipping were attracted. The third parallel was “transportation”. Criminals in England and Ireland would receive a sentence of “transportation” for both major and petty crimes. Early sentences sent convicts to the US and Canada. This practice ended with the Revolutionary War. After that convicts were sent to Australia- Sydney, Tasmania, Queensland, and later Western Australia. This practice ended in 1868. Delicious refreshments were served by Hostesses Lola Clark and Cynthia Spalding as members and guest enjoyed the many books and photo albums Mrs. Crider brought for “Show and Tell.” Next meeting will be at the Aurora Library March 7, 2013 at 1 p.m. Guest Speaker will be JoAnne ith an educational book review.
