Stales of Sum Ctttttes
By Florence Reeh & Others
OFFICE— Christy
Connell, who lives in Galena
Park, TX. came by to pay her
subscription Tuesday afternoon.
She was raised in Timpson and
is a first cousin to Kay Whitton
and Judy Raines. She was
Christy Rhodes before she mar-
ried. We had a nice visit. Very
friendly lady.
GALENA PARK— Mr
Clentis Tyer has celebrated his
100th birthday. We heard his
birthday was at the end of July.
He is the brother of Coburn
Tyre.
Mr. Tyre and his wife reside
in Galena Park and he is quite
able to keep his household up
and running. If we would know
what he has seen over the past
century, we would have a head
hill of knowledge. HAPPY BE-
LATED BIRTHDAY WISHES
TO HIM.
NACOGDOCHES—Had
a note from Joyce Tompkins,
fonnerly Joyce Hairgroves. She
is the daughter of Otto and Leta
Hairgroves of Timpson. She says
she enjoys the paper. We appre-
ciate the note, Joyce. Come see
us!
ARKANSAS—Had a note
from kinfolk in Searcy, Douglas
and Paula Langston. She is the
daughter of Tom Reeh, Doug’s
brother who passed away re-
cently. They are okay and wanted
to change their address and get a
paper they had missed. So good
to hear from them. Doug is do-
ing better - just has a hard time
walking. Keep in touch.
OFFICE—had a nice visit
with James William Bryce and
son, Patrick from Odessa, Texas.
James was here to show his son
a few places he had visited back
when he was a kid visiting kin-
folk in Timpson. He said he used
to go into Bussy Drug when it
was located across from the park
and he would sit on a stool at the
counter and order ice cream so-
das and other confectionaries.
They had attended a family re-
union in Nacogdoches. Hurry
back.
HOT—wow! The weather
has really turned hot. And it
hasn’t rained for a few hours.
Our flower beds look a bit dis-
mayed, but maybe they will
wake up and smile again.
BIRTHDAY— Happy
birthday to Marilyn Corder! She
is a great kid and we wish her
many more.
OFFICE—Well, we all
know now exactly where Arlem
is. I was all wrong about the di-
rection. Don’t know why, but I
had it figured to be near Gary
and that was so wrong. Anyway,
thanks for straightening me out,
everybody.
HELLO—a friend of mine
in Carthage, Harold Wiggins,
told me to tell an old friend of
his, Tenaha Mayor George
Bowers hello. Harold reads this
paper and I see him and his wife
at church, so he sends a message
now and then.
ALSO, I want to say “hi” to
Jean Williamson of Carthage.
She is a new subscriber and I
do hope she is enjoying reading
our newspaper. Jean is a very
pretty and sweet lady. I always
get a hug which I need very
much. She and another dear
friend, Glenna Noles, brought
Doug a beautiful plant in
memory of his brother Tom.
TRIP—Glad to see Marsha
Tomlinson and her sister, Reba,
home from their vacation trip.
Hope they had a good time and
I am happy their trip was a safe
one.
Wreck on 59 N Thursday. This 18 wheeler was lying on it’s
side and I took the picture. Don’t know what happened.

From a concerned citizen
My name is Paul Smith, son of Bobby Smith, brother of
David, John and Mark Smith. My brothers and I grew up in
Timpson and Lake Timpson was a part of our lives in those
formative years. Our family, along with many others, spent lots
of time boating, skiing and fishing on Lake Timpson. I’m not
writing this to give advice on how to keep the lake open to the
public, only to suggest that it should be kept open if at all pos-
sible. Timpson doesn’t have an abundance of things for young
people to do, and closing the lake to public boating would only
remove one of the few things left. My grandson loves to fish and
I would like to know that he would grow up enjoying the lake as
I did. Because this is such an important matter I would ask that
all concerned citizens make it known to the people in charge of
making this decision. The people paid for this and it should be
kept open to the public. Please don’t take away this important
part of Timpson, our children and grandchildren need a place to
fish, water ski and swim. Lets keep it clean and open to them for
their future enjoyment.

Noble from page 1
Harry Noble
preserve it.
In 1938, Mr. Noble traveled
from San Augustine to
Crockett (a dirt road then) with
his grandfather, grandmother
and his mother in a model T
Ford. They kept seeing con-
crete post with OSR on them.
His grandmother kept asking
what that meant? Finally, af-
ter bouncing around in the car
his grandfather said, “It means
“Old Sorry Road.”
Well, that sorry old road
took many of our ancestors
across Texas.
We hope you will come to
hear his program next Wednes-
day.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL
DAY.....MY SISTER,
MARILYN C ORDER ’ S
BIRTHDAY!. I was four plus
years old when she was born in
Wright City, Texas. She had
beautiful curls all over her head
and was my very own doll baby.
She loved to walk in Mother’s
high heel shoes, she didn’t have
that many pairs, but our Mother
was an unusual Mother...little
things like that did not bother her
nor did putting aside what she
was doing and helping us make a
play house. With 4 girls, first,
then 1 girl and 3 boys next, she
had a smile, picnic basket ready
or ice cream freezer to go to the
lake. We got home in time to fix
daddy’s supper but he never
seemed to mind if we were late.
All he wanted was to make
Mother happy and that he did.
Marilyn was a headstrong little
girl and also as a grown girl and
I would lay over her when Mother
started to switch her so I got a
whipping and so did she...I tried
Sis. We are going to Shreveport
to Ralph and Kakoo’s for dinner
this evening to celebrate. Notice,
I have not told you how old she
is but since you know I am over
4 years older than her, you can
guess she is still a spring chicken.
I love you Sister and wish you
love, joy and peace this coming
year. You are special to me.
We finally got our hot-hot
weather. Late afternoon I think it
was 105. I am not complaining,
just giving the weather report. I
don’t get outside much because I
am allergic to so many plants and
weeds but I slip up some days as
that is my very favorite play to
be. If I could still climb a tree I
would be handing from a limp,
swinging back and forth and
chanting some nonsense thing but
I am thankful I can get up, see,
hear and enjoy knowing there are
boys and girls who still can do
those things. When I came to
visit my grandmother’s during the
summer here, I can remember the
Washing Clothes Recipe. Here it
is so all you young ladies and also
us older ladies can say “Praise the
Lord” for living in this day in age.
Never thought of a “washer”
in this light before. What a Bless-
ing! Washing clothes recipe,
imagine having a recipe for this!!!
Years ago in the Corinth Com-
munity and also the Ragley Com-
munity, our grandmothers gave
the new bride the following
recipe. This is an exact copy as
written and found in an old scrap-
book with spelling errors and all.

Build fire in backyard to
heat kettle of rain water or well
water, set tubs so smoke wont
blow in eyes if wind is pert,
shave one hole cake of lie soap
in boilin water.
Sort things. Make 3 piles; 1
pile white, 1 pile colored, 1 pile
work britches and rags.
To make starch, stir flour in
cool water to smooth, then thin
down with boiling water. Take
white things, rub dirty spots on
board, scrub hard, and boil.
Then rub colored—don’t boil,
just wrench and starch. Take
things out of kettle, with broom
stick handle, then wrench and
starch, hang old rags on fence.
Spread tea towels on grass.
Pore wrench water in flower
bed, scrub porch with hot soapy
water, turn tubs upside down,
go put on clean dress, smooth
hair with hair combs, brew cup
of tea, sit and rock a spell and
count your blessings.
Paste this over your washer
and dryer and next time, when
you think things are bleak, read
it again, kiss that washing ma-
chine and dryer and give
thanks. Also be thankful for
your toilet—those two-holers
used to get mighty cold!. For
you non-East Texans - wrench
means Rinse.
I especially remember the
tub with blueing in it and then
you wrench again. This did not
mention that. Ladies WE RE-
ALLY HAVE IT PRETTY
GOOD, NO WE HAVE IT
REAL GOOD.
Love this little joke about
funerals.. .As with many funer-
als, it was a cloudy, rainy day.
The deceased was a little old
lady who had devoted her en-
tire married life to fussing at
her poor husband. When the
graveside service had no more
than terminated, there was a
tremendous burst of thunder
accompanied by a distant light-
ning bolt and then more rum-
bling thunder. The little old
man looked at the pastor and
calmly said, “Well, she’s there”
My kids told me they were
going to hang a cup towel on
my tomb stone as I was always
wiping things.. .1 am better boys
so if you must hang one, please
get a loud and gaudy one that
can be seen from 1970 as
people pass by...I like a little
pomp and gaudy. Make my
flowers hot pink, orange and
lime green...those are good col-
ors.
“Step by step we climb day
by day, closer to God with each
prayer we pray. For “the cry of
the heart” offered in prayer be-
comes just another “Spiritual
Stair:. In the “Heavenly Stair-
case” leading us to a beautiful
place where we live anew...So
never give up for it’s worth the
climb to live forever in “End-
less Time” where the soul of
man is safe and free to live in
love through eternity!
Til next time...God Bless
