Tuesday August 17

Rev Elie English born Sept. 27, 1848 died July 28, 1912. This is the oldest and largest headstone with English name. I am guessing that this may have been Allie B.s Grandfather. That would make him my Great, Great, Great grandfather.

This is the church sign. You can see how hard it was raining!
waiting.......another one of the rain.....


Rain stopped coming down but yard was covered in water. Good thing I had flip flops on!
This is the plot where Elie English head stone is.

There are 4 markers on a plot just below and to the right of the Elie English plot. I am guessing the original headstones were destroyed and these were put in thier place by the church. Allie B.s Bible has her father listed as Jessie E. English. This could be his grave I guess.


M English next to J Ed


G. English next to M. English


N. English next to G. English


Allie B.'s new head stone and grave stone. My Mom, Patricia and Mickey Wayne Holland replaced the old cover this April. It was caving in.





This picture didn't turn out too good but it read E. E. and was in the Plot designated to Elie English. Large plot designated by broken concrete post. But the only stones were Elie and E. E.


Ok that is all I have for today. Except I am going to post another recipe. This is an Orange pound cake. Again I have not tried this one yet. But it looks like the recipe was used many many times.


V.F. is vanilla flavoring. I remember Granny dissolving confectioners sugar in fresh orange juice and drizzling that on top.  I would guess about 1/4 cup juice to 1 cup confectioners sugar.  It should be thin.  I will try this one soon and give you update........Later...... I'm in Auburn and I have to help Lee Ann organize her kitchen cabinets!
