Mincemeat

by Laura Pearce

When my Virginian ancestors came west over the Oregon Trail in 1850, they relied on the wisdom and citizenship of good neighbors who were always willing to share what they knew with their fellow pioneers. I am fortunate to have the detailed and well-maintained diary of my great-great grandmother, Florence Tyler Grice (1829-1904) that is in and of itself, a rich, colorful history of a settler’s life in what is now Marion County Oregon.

MINNIE MA

By Joyce Livingston

Minnie Ruth Kelly/Lewis/Marshburn/Leggett (my grandma) was born on October 18, 1915 in Bladenboro, North Carolina, and in my humble opinion, she was the greatest woman that the Good Lord ever saw fit to grace this fine Earth. Being the oldest of her twenty-one grandchildren, I feel blessed to be able to be the one to tell the world about this wonderful, Christian woman.

Herschel Nix

by Denise Nix

Gardena, CA

When Herschel Nix started the first grade, he was 8½-years-old and towered over his younger classmates.

It wasn't long, however, until the principal of the two-room brick schoolhouse realized that Herschel surpassed the other first graders not only in height, but in his ABCs and 1-2-3s, too.
