Carol Perkins: I always wanted to be a Mother A story for Mother's Day. Photo: left, Carol Sullivan Perkins and her mother, Marguerite Sullivan. Next previous Carol Perkins article: Carol Perkins: Manifesto - the case against chickens By Carol Perkins I always wanted to be a mother. With my Gerber baby doll, I pretended she was real and consequently, did what mothers do. I changed her, rocked her, and fed her with the special bottle that came in her box. The water went in and came right out. She had her own bed, but often slept with me just like a real child might do. My baby doll is in a drawer now, looking worn from years of hugging. Plus, the rubber from which she was made is crumbling.

Granny Nannie: On the Walking Classroom See also: Walking Classroom site work underway at Adair Co. Schools Granny Nannie says: Seems to me that walking on the school campus would be more pleasurable in shade. Why have so many trees been dozed down? Granny NannieGranny - We're with you on most issues, even some where you are just playing Devil's Advocate. We, too, found the thicket which was there pleasant. But we're with the District on this one. There will be more than ample shade. The trees are being left. But there were major safety and utility issues involved without clearing the underbrush. The little park the school is making, we predict, will be a delight. -CM 2016-05-06 08:28:19 | Comments | Printable version

JIM: Miss Oma Winfrey's Reverie, 1916 The story is about families and places in Adair County. The place referred to, "Glenville," is also known, today, by more familiar names: Hardscratch, Glens Fork and Glensfork - and is rarely referred to by its more common name of a century ago. We love this piece it for its literary nature, which evokes a notion that hard as we try, today's writers - JIM and a few others who contribute to CM excepted - rarely reach the level of literary quality so many of the correspondents to the Adair County News reached in those days. This is another which makes one wonder Mark Twain didn't just capitalize on a literary heritage "in the air" shared with so many Adair Countians of his day who, in different circumstances, might have exceeded his success. - CM Click on headline to read this brief, but fascinating story by JIM By JIM The front page of the May 10, 1916 Adair County News published a reverie written by Miss Oma Winfrey, the daughter of Elfie Taylor Winfrey and a granddaughter of Z.T. "Long Tom" Taylor and Mattie Jones Taylor of Glenville. Elfie (also spelled Elpha), Tom and Mattie's oldest child, and Elisha Franklin(E.F.) Winfrey were married in mid-October 1899 but when the census was taken in early June the following year, they were living apart, he in the Little Cake section with Benjamin and Margaret Cook (his brother-in-law and sister), she in the Glenville precinct (under her maiden name) with her father, step-mother, a younger sister, three younger half-sisters, and a younger half-brother, Ben Frank. Elfie and E.F.'s respective marital statuses were given as "wd" - widow(er). By this time, Elfie was carrying Oma, who made her advent in early October 1900. To Miss Winfrey's reflective thoughts, the News added a one-line preface: "The house described by this writer is the old Cartwright home at Glenville:" Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2016-05-06 04:27:33 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
