The BEACON is honored to share another chapter of the book each month thanks to Mary Randell’s descendants. Previous chapters are available online starting with the August 2022 print edition at goBEACONnews.com/ print_edition. By Mary M. Greiner Randell Chapter XIV (cont.) We didn’t get to Louisville until evening. Then we got a berth, while some stayed in the waiting room. But the mosquitoes were so bad they could get no rest sitting up on chairs or lying down on couches. The next morning we went to get something to eat and then went back to the boat. While we had been gone, some men had rolled on some tobacco hogsheads. You know they are very heavy. COME JOIN US FOR OUR OPEN HOUSE!

In about an hour we started back and we had more trouble going back than we had had on the way down. We were to land at Lawrence-burg at six o’clock in the evening, but we got there at twelve o’clock that night. Some people got very hungry. It was said there wasn’t a slice of bread left in the dining room even for the well-to-do people with their diamonds. They had to go thirty-three miles more to Cincinnati, to where the boat had started from. Just before we got off, one of the passengers asked us if I could pray. I said I could and they asked me to pray for them, they were so hungry. But I think the crew of the boat had something to eat. I didn’t hear them say they were hungry. One time Pa and I went to a national prohibition convention in Indianapolis. I had fixed up a big lunch for the occasion. We went to Lawrenceburg to get on the train. They had promised Pa, that if he would go as a delegate, they would pay his way. When we got to the depot there were no arrangements to that effect. Pa wanted to go back home, but I told him I wasn’t going without him. I said that maybe this would be the last time we would make a trip together, so he had better go. It was the last time. When we got on the train Pa saw a man he had been reading about in his prohibition paper and he was glad he had not gone back home. And I saw Brother Brown that married Myrtle, a lady that had preached in Lawrenceburg at the time I was staying with Jennie. She preached holiness and married a holiness preacher. I had some very good talks with them. He said, “Just because you have salvation, you don’t have to let people run over you. You Author Mary Randell should have that sweet peace in your soul so that you can talk to such ones without getting mad at them.” I have that sweet peace in my soul. The front yard where we lived had some beautiful flowers; the house stood on a kind of hill and the front yard sloped enough so it never stayed wet. There were 130 acres in the farm. The children could go out to play a little while after a rain. There were three shrubs, one was a snowball, one a rose of Sharon, and the other a lilac. There were two peony bushes and a clump of water lilies with a deep center, and those tall white lilies that the florists sell in the cities. There were two big cedar trees and one smaller one. One day, when Louis was a small boy, he brought home a cedar tree from the woods and planted it between the house and the garden to keep the hot sun away from the door in the afternoon- the little tree was only half an arm high. There was a big orchard and cider mill run by horsepower. We made lots of cider and sold it for vinegar. We cooked lots of apple butter and sold it too, and made plenty for our own use. There was a cane mill and we made our own sorghum molasses. Then we had a large grainary and mill upstairs to grind feed corn, rye, and oats. This mill was run by horsepower. Then we had a feed box that we Chuck, Roger & Susan Johnson Serving the Tri-State and Beyond Your full-service company!

We left all these things there when we sold the farm and moved to a little town, called Wright’s Corner. All seven of my children were born on the farm. Some of the dates of the births and marriages of my children slipped my mind and so that is why I wrote to each of you. Of course we have your records in the family album which is at Gertie’s place. Some of the children made comments when they replied giving me this information. I will try to tell you some of these. Malena said it’s no wonder you forgot the dates, you had so many to remember.

Benny was born September 15, 1885. Ben said he was born at one o’clock in the morning in a hay mow, but he was talking through his hat. He was born in the old brick house. I was there the same as he was and I know. Ben said the second greatest event that happened in his life was the day that Zella Snyder took him in out of the cold and married him. It was July 18, 1909. Malena was born September 17, 1888. She was married June 10, 1920, to Harry Haverland at our home at Wright’s Corner. Wesley was born March 21, 1891. He married Bernice Grasser June 9, 1916, in Louisville, Kentucky. Doc in writing spoke on being married on the above-mentioned date and said that he has been pretty much married ever since.
