MAN KILLED BY FALLING TREE LIMB Friday May 25, 2012 at approximately 9:52 a.m. the Macon County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 16000 block of Delmar Place in New Cambria, MO to the report of a man seriously injured while logging. Upon arrival deputies found emergency medical personal on scene treating the victim Michael Brown age 39 of Arbela, Missouri for injuries he received when he was hit in the head by a limb from a tree falling nearby. Michael Brown was transported to Samaritan Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:22 p.m. by the attending emergency room physician. Michael Brown was employed by the Tri-State Timber Company of Arbela. The United States Department of Labor – Occupation Safety & Health Administration inspected the work site on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. OSHA investigates all work-related fatalities and catastrophes. Once the OSHA investigation is complete, the summary report will be available on their website www.osha.gov.
Do you know what your great-greatgrandfather did to raise his family? Where was your mother’s mother born? What about the origination of their parents? It may surprise you that the majority of people don’t know these simple things about their ancestors. The Macon County Historical Society has been compiling information for researchers that are working on their family trees. For over 2 ½ years a small group of volunteers have worked very hard to catalog and inventory histories of many families, churches, school records, census, probates and wills. Most of the records are in Macon County with some leading to Randolph and other surrounding counties. The Genealogy Department in the Historical Society has the largest library of books and information, over 1,000 volumes and growing. “We are very fortunate to be able to house the original probate and wills” says researcher Ruth Masten, “we also have plot maps
and cemetery records”. The researchers are working on completing a military history and County History. George Morgenweck, Genealogy Director, has a hobby, what most may call a daunting task, of collecting old newspapers. George clips and catalogs all of the obituaries, family reunions, weddings etc… to keep on hand. “Everyone is welcome to use the material here to help them with their search” states George, “You don’t have to be a member of the Historical Society to do so”. George even gives classes on Genealogy. If you have ever wanted to start your own family search, his classes will help you learn where to start and what to look for. Pat Teter, researcher and former librarian, has utilized her skills in helping with the organization and inventory process of all the material. “All of our books are now inventoried” says Pat. “We started 2 ½ years ago with just a pile of books”. Today, the researchers have access to
many books, indexes and numerous sites online. They are there to assist and guide you in your search. “If you are interested in your family, you will be amazed to what you will find” states Gail Shoush, Researcher. “We have an open door policy for the public” says George Morgenweck. The Macon County Historical Museum is maintained and supported by donations. The researchers volunteer their time to help. All donations go the “general fund” that helps pay the utilities and maintenance on the building to keep them going. Even if you are new to the search of your ancestors, this is a place to start. The hours are Thursday and Friday 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to Noon. You may also make an appointment by emailing: mcmoresearch@yahoo.com

COMMUNITY NEWS
The Life and Times of Jean Emily Clark Ray by Jean Ray Christmas-ah. We would get so excited knowing that we would get a present and would cherish whatever we received. My sister would decorate the house and make us cardboard Christmas hats and decorate them with paint and glitter, she had a gift for that sort of thing. On Christmas Eve we would try to stay awake to see father Christmas, but we never caught him. We did wake up pretty early and found a stocking with an apple, orange and a few nuts in it which we eat right then and I even eat the orange peel and continued to do so. I remember getting a doll one year and I think that it was the only one I received during my childhood . I carried that doll around for a long time. I still have it. My dad had put it away in the wardrobe upstairs and gave it to me on one of my trips home. One Christmas many years later my husband and daughter Sonya had a lady dress up my old doll with beautiful new clothes, bonnet and shoes. I still have her today sitting on a bench in my living room, Our aunt Emily, from London, was well off and she would send us tooth brushes, soap
and beakers (drinking glasses). We appreciated the useful gifts, but mom was offended with the soap. During Christmas a group of children from our street plus Bobby and I would sing Christmas carols in the wealthy neighborhoods and make a little money for ourselves which was always spent on sweets. When I was still in junior school I won an embroidery contest and remember it was a basket of fall flowers. The prize was thirty cents and I purchased half a pound of peanut butter and eat all of it, making me very sick. It was many years later before I eat it again . I remember very clearly when I was about seven years old, my sisters sent me to catch mom before she boarded her bus into town. Mother was going to a party and forgot her party hat. I ran as fast as I could and out of nowhere came a man who asked me where I was going and after I told him he offered to take me to my mother. Instead he took me into the woods and was planning something bad and I must have had a guardian angel because he let me go. My sisters were horrified and they never sent me on a night errand again. One of the high lights in my life was when my
older sister Bella took me to Blackpool to the seaside for a week. This was a great treat for we seldom left Birmingham. My older sisters as I recall were very good to me and took me with them on day trips in the country. One of my wonderful trips were to a convent in London where my brother in laws two sisters lived .I was very impressed with lunch at the convent and what I will always remember are the apples wrapped in Olive leaves .The nuns were so kind and they are alive and well in Ireland, the land of their birth. All too soon I graduated to the senior school enjoying all of the subjects at hand. We had many subjects the same as the American schools but in addition we had Swimming, scripture, hockey, German, French and cooking school. My sisters still talk about the cooking that I did because it was extra food that I would bring home. I remember so clearly making rock cakes which were so simple and required very few ingredients and I still have that recipe in my diary. I loved my German class and learned to speak it quite well and when I left school I did not have anyone to converse in that language, so eventually I forgot most of it. To Be Continued........

COMMENTARY COMMENT
FATHER AND SON RACE SIDE BY SIDE
From the Editors Desk BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com
I love it when my “stupid ideas” become great ones. We have a large pond that is about 18 feet deep. The first year it was full, we enjoyed swimming in it all summer. I purchased a big island that had loungers and even a slide. I don’t care to swim in ponds, but this one was new and had no fish, I also told myself there wasn’t time for turtles or snakes to make their way in it yet. Of course my husband was assuring me there was nothing to be worried about. Now mind you , his gentle ways of assuring me are quite simple, he simply states “You’re such a wimp, just get in”. The next year my husband and son stocked the pond. I wasn’t too thrilled about having fish or anything else in there, I would rather fill it with concrete and clorine. Everyone came out to swim and had a great time. The fish are growing and multiplying, and yes we saw a few snakes. By this time, I had enough pond swimming I could stand. Of course when I tell my husband it’s time to get a pool, I really got to hear it. He and my son both informed me that we don’t need a pool, we have a great place to swim . As the days got hotter last summer, I kept it up about the pool thinking they would cave and we would go get one, but that
LIEBHART never happened. One day, it was about 300 degrees, I was out running some errands and just so happened I found a pool that would fit perfect on our concrete patio. When I got home I broke the news to my husband that I bought a pool. I was shortly informed that I have no idea what size patio we have and the pool is too big so I have to take it back. After riding around for 3 days with a 16’ pool in the Tahoe, I finally got back to the store and they also had a 12’ pool so I exchange it. It would be big enough for us. We did get the pool set up, but the funny thing is everyone started swimming in “MY” pool! The one that spent the most time in it was my husband! He even placed an easy up awning over it so our granddaughter wouldn’t get too much sun. Now I’m thinking we need a larger patio. Maybe next year………..
FAITH
From the Desk of the Worship Center Clouds Without Water In Jude 1:3 Paul speaks to the “beloved” church; he directs them to contend for the faith which was once delivered to the Saints. We become effective when the entire Bible without man made precepts are followed and we seek the old paths? Paul also warned “For there are certain men who have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul warns us to fight for the faith, because God knew through the ages false teachers would arise. How do I recognize these false teachers? The number one way is their ministry. Is it the whole truth, or is it a watered down, people pleasing, compromised, legalistic ministry? Is the virgin birth of Jesus Christ preached? Is their a belief in Christ’s crucifixion and resurrec-
tion, and by his stripes we were healed? Do we understand that we must repent and turn away from sin? The second way would be their life style. We are told that to be in Christ is to be a new creature; old things pass away and all things are new. Do they have a new style of life, or is it still full of selfishness, self-centeredness, jealousy, and envy. Do they view their ministry as a job or a calling of God? The Bible calls false teachers “Jude 1:12 Clouds without water carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots Jer. 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].

Summer is in full swing! I love summer! Summer means barbeques, floating and boating, baseball/ softball games, vacationing, fishing, and gardening. I have a pretty good size garden. I always plant tomatoes, green beans, peppers of all kinds, onions, corn, zucchini, and watermelon. There is nothing better than fresh produce that you can enjoy all summer. This year I bought some tomato seeds and grew the plants. The plants are to produce pear tomatoes of red and yellow on the same plant. I’ve seen these plants in magazines and they were expensive. The seeds were cheaper so I thought I would give them a try. Good thing these seeds were the second batch I planted because I ended up drowning the first batch of Better Boy plants I had. First lesson of growing plants from seed, DON’T over water! Lesson learned! The second time around with the seed worked out better and the plants are in the garden now. I planted eleven rows of corn. I bet your thinking; hmmm that’s an odd number, literally. Here is my story behind that. We bought a push mower this year, my husband, Jeremy told my son Gabe, he could mow the grass. Gabe was very excited about mowing the grass for some reason and I wasn’t about to go inside and leave him to mow unsupervised while my husband was at work. So I started planting corn in the garden. I intended to plant ten rows, but I was a little more nervous than I
had thought about Gabe mowing with a push mower, and evidently miss counted and ended up with eleven. The corn is over a foot and a half tall. I hope it does well this year because my kids will not eat corn from the can if they can help it. I make homemade salsa which barely gets out of the canner and is still warm when they pop the top off the jar and start eating it. I usually can around fifty quarts of green beans, although this year I may increase that number because I am officially out, as of last week. We ate the last jar. I put up forty freezer quart bags of corn and they are gone too. I do have a little bit of tomato juice and whole canned tomatoes left. Guess this was such a mild winter we didn’t eat soup like we normally do. It is a lot of work but I do enjoy it. My grandmother always canned and worked in the garden in addition to her full time job at Toastmasters. When she lived on the farm she would can until one or two o’clock in the morning and be up by five to go to work at seven. She would do this for many days in a row. While the garden produced, she put it up. She never did require much sleep and still doesn’t. She taught me nearly everything I know about canning. I’ve picked up a few things here and there from people, but mainly what I know came from her. She has moved to town now and still has a small garden in her back yard that produces more than most. I appreciate everything she taught me and I appreciate her taking the time to do so. That’s life in the Country.
