Sarah Webb’s Obituary
And here's our girl Sarah Webb, my great-great-grandmother who ended up living with Lynch the Doctor in Knoxville. This means my grandmother Ruth Webb Packett personally knew her grandmother, which tickles me to no end.

Help a Kitten out!
Ruthrawls’s Blog- We’re Out Like A Scout July 16, 2017Someone had a simple idea. Someone (Sugar) thought maybe we should get kayaks and learn how to kayak. Sounds like a good plan, only we know nothing about the art of kayaking. So I messaged a friend who might possibly know something, because I had seen a photo on social media of her in a […]Ruth Rawls
- Of Cats and Raccoons June 26, 2017 A while back, Sugar installed a feeding shelf for the two girl cats at work. We thought that it would make an excellent feeding station or perch or safe place for them. Mostly, we were worried that it was a long time from when I fed them on a Friday evening until I returned […]Ruth Rawls
- Sugar Builds A Fence June 20, 2017Remember when his next-door neighbors burned the buffer zone along the common property line? And surprise! The buffer zone turned out to be his. I can’t forget it. So much weirdness involving that event. They started a fire and left it unattended. They left home completely. That fire was so close to jumping into the […]Ruth Rawls

- The Alt-Reunion June 19, 2017Sugar and I didn’t go to the annual reunion. It’s complicated. There was a misunderstanding at last year’s reunion, in which someone thought that I had taken a brick from a wall in a historic cemetery that was being refurbished, and that I had sent it to a descendant in California. I didn’t do that. […]Ruth Rawls
- Treehouse Update May 30, 2017Yeah. They refuse to use. I’ve never met a cat, much less two, that refused to jump up to a shelf to get canned food… These girls are a challenge.ÂRuth Rawls
- Another Treehouse May 21, 2017Sugar decided to make another cat perch for the cats that live in the woods next to where I work. I’ve been approached two times in the past week by interested people who have seen the cats hanging around in the morning waiting to be fed. No one had a problem with it, and they […]Ruth Rawls
- In Cucumber Glory May 16, 2017About 3 weeks ago, Sugar and I were invited to a picnic lunch with a group of FriendsNotFriends. One we had met once and had actual conversation, one we had met on a tour, and the rest were social media friends and their friends. All these folks were in a social media history group. One […]Ruth Rawls
- Making Movie Magic May 6, 2017It’s all about DNA and 23andMe. Sugar’s cousin Jordan has a fascinating story about how hIs family connects with Sugar’s family. Their most recent common ancestors are Joseph and Sarah Robert Lawton. Another of Jordan’s cousins is Tom. 23andMe wanted to make a short documentary about the link between these two fellows. Filming was going […]Ruth Rawls
- The Welcoming Committee April 22, 2017The two feral girls that I trapped, neutered, and released a month ago have finally shown themselves. Apparently I move too slowly for them. ​​ ​Ruth Rawls

Was googling to try to figure out how to find your paypal account for ’em cats, and caught this instead. Is this from the “New-Sentinel”? P.S. Also, inform me about the account. 🙂

If memory serves, I think I got this copy from the East Tennessee Historical Society, but really, I don’t know how I would have known ETHS had it on microfilm. So, I don’t know where I got it, but I’ve probably had it since 1999.
