By Crickett Pullen Wasnt the rain fantastic? The hay crop may perk up again. My yard has gotten a new lease on life. Wanda and her son, Gary, came and we worked at the cemetery. While we were there one of the Qualls boys stopped by and visited for a few minutes. The Pullen family reunion was Saturday and William and Toni hosted it at their house. There were 60 that attended. It was good seeing all of the ones from Iowa and the ones here that I dont get to see very often. We had a lot of good food and good visiting. The ones from Iowa left Sunday to return home. Hello to Thomas and Glenda Hobbs of Paris. Have a great week and take care. Sonny has a doctors appointment Wednesday in Russellville. Hopefully he will get a good report. Thank you to Tim Cook and Tigger for installing my new air conditioner for me. It sure does feel good and cool. I got a nice surprise Thursday evening. Billy and Chasity visited me and informed me that I am going to be a grandma again. I dont think my feet have hit the floor since. It is such happy news. Bread of Life Church had fellowship at the pool Thursday evening and had a baptism. I didnt get to go, but heard they had a good time, but we always have a good fellowship. Well, folks, its time to shut up for this week. All of you have fun and enjoy life.

Local Farm Bureau members attend conference

Franklin County Farm Bureau members were among 535 who attended the 65th annual Arkansas Farm Bureau Officers and Leaders Conference July 22-23 in Hot Springs. The theme for this years conference was True North. Speakers included Arkansas Farm Bureau President Randy Veach of Manila; V. J. Smith, author of The Richest Man in Town; and Keith Jackson, a sports broadcaster, founder of P.A.R.K. (Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids) and former professional football player whose career was highlighted by six Pro Bowl appearances and a win at Super Bowl XXXI. Conference-goers also attended a variety of workshops on topics of interest to farmers and ranchers. with gloves. The cob was picked up and rubbed back and forth in your hand until all the corn was removed and in the barrel. This corn was fed to chickens, hogs, and horses. It was crunchy and I was known to chew a few pieces myself. Corn was corn and there wasnt but one kind planted. Daddy called it field corn and we ate the same kind the animals did. As far as I know there was no fancy corn then. If there was, we didnt have it and what we had tasted fine to me. By the end of the harvest Mama had the fruit closet on the back porch full of all kinds of veggies, fruit and sometimes some pork from the hog. You cant tell me that the stuff you buy in the store is just as good. No, it does not even compare. I canned food until a few years ago and I gave it up for not being physically able. I miss the great times of canning beside Mama and planting with Daddy. I didnt mind the dirt under my fingernails or the sweat in the hot kitchen. I learned and did on my own later. Would I go back to those more simple times? In a heartbeat. Yes, I enjoy all my modern conveniences like AC, but I miss the past with all my family and those carefree summer days of my youth. Dont we all? 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. Proverbs 12:11 - He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.

Learning to pressure can

by Clydene Overbey As Daddys garden was harvested Mama canned veggies. When I was old enough I was recruited to help and learn. The hardest thing was the corn. We canned it on the cob, cut off the cob, cream style and whole kernel. No freezer then. Canning corn was an all day job sometimes stretching in to several days according to how much there was. I would trudge out to the garden behind Mama, who was carrying a number 10 wash tub. Norman was helping as soon as he could reach up in those tall stalks and pull the ears. When the tub was full we carried it back to the house and put it under the shade of the walnut trees. I can remember my side of the tub would drag on the ground sometimes. My shorter arms pulled down on Mamas, Im sure. Next was shucking, washing and putting in pans to blanch. Lots of water was drawn from the well as we worked. Next, pack it in jars and pack is the word. No air space or it would all rise to the top. A bit of water and a teaspoon of salt per quart was put in the jar with the corn, then a table knife was pushed down around the edges to let the air out before the hot lids and rings were put on. A jar with air left in could burst in the canner. Mama only had one old canner so the watch and wait started now. The pressure gauge was set for 10# pressure and corn had to be processed for 90 minutes. It had to be watched closely and the burner adjusted so the pressure wouldnt rise to the red danger zone. Pressure cookers now are much easier and dont require as much watching, but the old kind were dangerous in non-experienced hands. When the time was up the pressure had to be let off slowly before the lid was taken off and the jars removed. That process was repeated over and over in that hot kitchen. No AC then. After all the corn was canned that Mama deemed enough there were lots still on the stalks. This was allowed to dry and then the next task started. I was in on that also. For that, I worked with Daddy. He had a big barrel of some kind and the corn was taken off the cob and put in the barrel. This was a slow and difficult process which was hard on the hands. Daddy wore gloves, but I never could work

By Kendall Frazier I think Mother Nature has had summer confused with spring. We have been getting a lot of thunderstorms and rain lately. I came home from work on Friday and tried to turn my laptop on as I always do, and nothing happened. I first thought that my power cord had stopped working, but then tried it on my moms laptop and it worked perfect. Now, I have to take my laptop to get it repaired. The Mullen family reunion will be held Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Old Country Church. There will be a potluck lunch. This is the family of Leonard and Bonnie (Ellison) Mullen. Quita (Daily) Ellison of Pasadena, Texas, wrote me a letter this past week. Shes the widow of Cecil Ellison. Cecil was the son of the late John and Mae (Cowan) Ellison. John was a half-brother of my great-great grandmother, Elizabeth (Ellison) Henry Danner. Quita sent me a couple photos of my late grandfather, Elbert Pug Frazier. I have been hitting brick walls searching the Ellison genealogy. Thomas Ellison was born about 1825 in Ohio. He died between 1910 and 1920, probably in Newton County, Arkansas. It has been proven that he was married at least three times. He married first to Minerva Peterson on Nov. 28, 1850, in Vinton County, Ohio; married second to A.J. Owens on July, 20, 1887, in Newton County, Arkansas. Thomas married third to Rutha Valentine Tripp on July 18, 1893. Thomas and Minerva Ellison had at least 10 children: Solomon, Thomas, Elijah, Mary J. (married Felix Burton), Anna, Andrew J., Christina, Elizabeth (married Seth Henry and John Danner), Sarah, and Lydia Ellison (married James Strode). Thomas and Rutha Ellison had at least three children: Christopher, John (married Lillie Mae Cowan), and Hiram Ellison (married Narcie). Does anyone know where Thomas Ellison and his three wives are buried? Is there anything known about their children, who they married, where they are buried? According to the Cornell Daily Sun, printed April 30, 1913, Thomas Ellison of Newton County, age 93 years, had 50 children, 125 grandchildren, and 60 great-grandchildren. His youngest child was 11 years old and oldest child was 65 years old. Any help on this family search will be greatly appreciated! The North Franklin County Fair is just around the corner.
