| Through him we have also obtained access by faith into
this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of
the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our suf-
ferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and
endurance produces character, and character produces
hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s
love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy
Service

Finally, today is a good day. Recovery from another crisis in the
Edwards household. Remember the song, “I Will Survive?” I am
thinking that is going to be our song for the next few years...”I Will
Survive” whatever comes our way, we have come out scarred, scathed,
crippled, but we survived. We have become stronger in body and we
think mind though that may be debatable among some people who have
had to deal with us in the last few years. I found out one thing that the
man I am married to is a lot stronger than I thought he was. Anyone that
has gone through what he has gone through in the last month would
agree. What a surprise to know that he had been walking around with
such a diseased part of the body and for him to not complain has been
a mystery to the doctors that have treated him. They described it as
unbelievable and “what a mess it was.” But he has survived and he is
recovering slowly but surely each day, being able to eat soft, non spicy
foods, and only chicken and fish and some vegetables, whew it has
been a challenge. He has always been a hearty eater and loves all of
those foods he cannot have, but being as sick as he was he has not
wanted to eat too much. He has lost a lot of weight, his diabetics and
high’blood pressure is in perfect range. But his immune system is down
so he has caught this horrible “door-knob” crud that is going around, so
back to doctor for another shot and more medication. Hopefully in a
few more days he will lick this stuff and he will surely be back in his
gun shop doing what he loves to do.
The ones on the prayer list: Darla Dudley had a severe pain and other
symptoms of heart attack and was rushed to the hospital, after a round
of extensive testing found she has a reflux problem that can be very
serious if not taken care of with proper medication. Scary for her and
her family for these signs can mimic a heart attack and is very painful;
hoping she will get some relief soon and be back to her life she loves;
Melva Swain has been having some problems and spent days in the
hospital; Joey Plew is home but goes back to doctor today for another
visit and find out more on his health issues he has experienced; Joanne
Jones, Jennifer Roden’s mother has been very ill, she has had heart sur-
gery and is in Houston at this time; Patti Bailey taking Chemo treat-
ments; Mrs. Johnny Gatlin; Nell Northern, is seriously ill; Jim Elder
has been having some problems from recent surgery; Sherry Sever, for-
mer Grandview resident has been ill, is now home and better; Ewing
Devaney, five year old boy taking cancer treatments; Penny Rice;
Shellie Lee; Ran Van Zandt; Bruce Lintner; Ed Kafer; Sam Bailey;
Jake Smalley; Harry Ricker; Herb and Oleta Lubke; David Dodd; Carl
Peppers; Winnie Booher; Sis Siratt; Melisa Reed doing a lot better; and
so many children sick with this terrible flu that is going around, pray-
ing for all to get well completely.
INDIA MAE HILL ALLMON—HER STORY
Mrs. India Mae Allmon was the English teacher for Grandview High
School for thirty years. She was very proud of this accomplishment but
did you know that she really wanted to be a music teacher?
When I interviewed her in August of 1997 she told me that her real
love was classical music. She would have loved to had the time to
study and teach music in her spare time but she never had a chance to
do what she dreamed about. She was a dedicated teacher in her field
and she put her whole heart into her students, teaching them the funda-
mentals of English and how to apply this knowledge. She wanted them
to walk away with the knowledge and guidance that they needed to
attend college and begin their careers in whatever field they chose.
Mrs. Allmon was bom to Clint and Bertha Myers Hill six miles east
of Grandview. Her place of birth was on what is known as the late
Mattie Beth Pipes. She was the only child of her native Texas bom par-
ents. India Mae’s earliest memories were the days of cotton picking
time when she would get to ride on a bale of cotton to the closest gin
from their farm, which was Auburn community. The best part of the
trip she recalled was after the cotton was ginned and on the return trip
home her Dad would stop at the old Auburn Store and buy cheese and
crackers and they would share them on the way home.
The Hill family lived in the country until she started to school at Mrs.
Muckleroy’s Kindergarten. Mrs. Muckleroys, Margaret Isenberg’s
grandmother held a school in her home and young India Mae attended
the morning session. Mr. Muckleroy was a jeweler and he had a small
shop that was located in the Monroe Drug Store, which was later the
Huffman Drug Store. This is now a vacant lot, the building being
demolished a few years ago.
Mrs. Allmon’s father and mother decided that the long six miles to
town was too far to be away from their only child, so they moved to
Grandview in a house that actually was located where Mrs. Allmon’s
brick home sets today on Criner Street. The house they lived in later
burned and another one was built which was later sold and moved
across the street, by the members of the church of Christ for a parson-
age after a new building was built for its members. This brick home is
still there today, but I do not know who owns this property now.
Mrs. Allmom remembers attending public school in Grandview in the
first grade in the wooden building that burned in the fire of March of
1920. After the fire the school was moved to a tabernacle with open
sides and a gravel floor. It had a pot-bellied stove that kept them warm
in the winter months. Later the two-story brick school was built. She
recalled that it was a most uncomfortable building with large windows
that rattled in the wind and it was very hot in the warm months and cold
in the winter months. Mrs. Charles Rootes was her first grade teacher
and she fondly remembered Miss Mattie Daniels as an Algebra and
Latin teacher. Mrs. Holmig was her English teacher and she said that
Mrs. Holmig was instrumental in the beginning of bringing English to
the Grandview Schools. N. O. Robbins was the superintendent in her
first year of school. Mr. Marshall was superintendent in her high school
years. The late Nell Quinn Crownover was her closest friend and they
grew up together and graduated from Grandview High.
After graduating she started college at T.W.U. in Denton and planned
on majoring in music and becoming a teacher of music. She received
her degree from college and her first teaching job was in Cleburne. She
met Ozie Allmon and married in 1930 and they lived in Fort Worth,
where she taught another two years. Ozie Allmon’s parents were Joe
and Lillie Allmon from Tennessee. Mr. Allmon was a salesman for Ben
E. Keith.
Mary Jane was the only child of Ozie and India Mae and she was bom
when they lived in Fort Worth. When Mary Jane was three years old
they moved to Grandview. Mrs. Allmon taught piano and music for
some time and then started her teaching career.

As I have read my periodicals since the New Year according to AD,
it has been brought to my attention that, different countries celebrate
the day differently. Just for example, police departments make a
large issue out of picking up those celebrants who have been appre-
hended driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages. Now in a
local police department, it has come to light that some of the worst
offenders are police officers themselves. In fact, one chief has said
that any officer that gets caught inebriated will be immediately dis-
missed without recourse. This seems fair.
In other countries, the celebration is more of a religious undertak-
ing that can take several days or weeks. This is true in oriental coun-
tries where the predominate religion is Buddhism. Some other coun-
tries celebrate for days or weeks. Then forget the occasion for anoth-
er year. In last week’s column, I confessed that I didn’t make a fetish
out of making resolutions. Which way is the most civilized? I regret
to confess that I don’t know.
There is an Indian tribe who has said that they will no longer cel-

ebrate New Years day and so they tore up their calendar. There goes Grandview, passed away
another holiday for them. Another idea which may catch on is to Thursday, January 3, 2013 in
have a monthly New Year. It would make it a lot easier setting your Bolingbrook, Ill. He was bom to
wrist watch. I have heard that some schools no longer teach learning the late James Brusaw and Cora
the multiplication tables. Having twelve New Years each year Louie on August 13, 1954 in
instead of one could complicate the learning process. Casper, Wyoming.
I can remember when I started learning my multiplication tables, Bob loved his family. Dorothy,
and by the fifth grade, I knew them all through fifteen. In fact, I still his wife of 18 years, was the
remember that 15 x 15=225. 12 x 12=144. So much for the day’s love of his life & best friend,
arithmetic lesson. I am sure that kids are much faster on a lap top Jocelyn his granddaughter,
