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.

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.

The Lacy September 18, 2017

I went to the Lacy Hotel last week. Only it’s not a hotel any more. It’s a gift, antique, and home furnishing shop. I wasn’t shopping. I have a #CousinNotCousin whose grandmother and aunt worked at the Lacy, back in the day when it was an actual hotel. They cooked there for many years, and […]

The Curious Court Case of Ruth A. Collins vs. East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad Company: The Death of Deaderick Collins September 17, 2017

I first learned about Ruth Collins in 1999. I had decided to learn more about my genealogy, but all I knew on my maternal side was that my great-grandmother was named Henrietta Collins Webb. I found her as a child on the 1880 Blount County, Tennessee, census. Her mother was Ruth Collins. I was sure […]

William Collins, Mystery Man September 8, 2017

Where did he go? What happened to him? Our mystery man is the son of Ruth Gamble Collins. We don’t know who his father is, because a recent discovery by a new DNA cousin shows that Ruth’s husband Deaderick A. Collins was killed in a train accident on October 2, 1871. William was born about […]

Lenoir City High School Commencement Program, 1938 September 8, 2017

Have you heard? The entire Southeast is preparing for a hurricane. Hurricane Irma is bearing down on us, only a few short weeks since Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. We’ve done this before, most recently last year with Hurricane Matthew. I rode that one out. This year I had planned a trip away for several nights. […]

The Treehouse Gets A Roof September 5, 2017

Sugar had made a treehouse for the cats. It was perfect for lounging and feeding. There was one flaw in the set-up. It was a platform only, and, while the gravity feeder fit perfectly on the platform, rain would soak the dry food in the feeder’s basin. In the coastal heat, that rain-soaked food turned […]

150 Years! August 28, 2017

No, people! I’m not a 150 years old! (Was that colloquial? Should I have said I’m not *one* hundred and fifty years old instead of *a* hundred and fifty years old? Sometimes I write stuff, and even I don’t understand my Southernisms when I reread them. The voices in my head are loud, y’all. They’re […]

A New Project August 27, 2017

The contents of the cart reveal a new and exciting creation. No, people, I’m not making cat food quiche or dog food trail mix. The clue is the wax paper. My friend Lynda, who just happens to be Sugar’s cousin, has a clever little Etsy shop that features Scottish tartan jewelry. I ordered some jewelry […]

In Which I Make A Promise August 13, 2017

Only I didn’t know I was making a promise. This story involves my mother-in-law, an OCD little controller. Perhaps she was this way because her father was like that, and she learned those behaviors. Perhaps it was reinforced by her Swedish mother who was a perfectionist in word and deed, an immaculate housekeeper, and an […]

We’re Out Like A Scout July 16, 2017

Someone 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 […]
