Funeral Card Friday - Aunt Emma Tharp Beard

Here is the Funeral Home Card of my great-aunt Emma Tharp Beard. I have posted her obituary here and a picture of her at 4 years old here.

It doesn't state it on the card but her funeral services were held here in Louisville with burial in Upton Cemetery, Upton, Kentucky.

Trivia Fact: Upton is a small town that is officially in both Larue and Hart Counties in Kentucky. Wonder how troublesome that is when tax and car registration time comes around?

I had stopped posting the obituaries that I had found of my grandmother's. So I will resume posting them today, I only have a couple more to go.

So brother and sister married brother and sister...fun, fun, fun!

My day at Farmington

I thought I'd drop a quick follow up note about my volunteering shift today at Farmington. The nice, sunny, warm day today brought more people out today then we had in the whole month of February. We love being this busy!

Now as I sit typing this my feet are hurting and my voice is almost shot. But I love volunteering at the house. I love the face of the kids when you tell them that there wasn't any electricity in the house or that the spring-house was used because they didn't have a refrigerator.

So, I'll continue to volunteer, but I think I'm going to get better walking shoes so my feet won't hurt as much from now on.....Or maybe I could get my husband to give me a foot massage.......hmmmm maybe.

Hope you enjoyed, glad you stopped by and please come back again ;)

Off to Farmington!

I wanted to drop a note and let everyone know that I volunteer for a local Historical Home here in Louisville - Farmington. I have been doing this since last November and have really enjoyed it so far. As a docent I give paying visitors a tour of the house, explaining about the history of the site and the people who owned it.

If any of you are ever in Louisville, please stop by and take a tour. It really is a cool site to visit.

Hope you enjoyed, glad you stopped by and please come back again ;)

Tombstone Tuesday - Mary T Raque

Mary T Raque is related to my children through their father. We found her grave years ago when we were researching their ancestors. I've always been drawn to how sweet it is that the parents wanted to mark her grave, even though she was only 3 days old when she died.

Hope you enjoyed, glad you stopped by and please come back again ;)
