Memories: by Patricia Beck Hormell
Harry married his third cousin Helen Lackey. Harry's great-grandfather, Milton John Hormell was a brother of Helen's great-grandmother, Rebecca Hormell Sellers. Dr. Milton John Hormell delivered Helen's Father, Dr. Burt Lackey.
In his younger days, Harry did woodworking and finished several items that remain in the family today. One item was a large dry sink, others were a corner cabinet, a bookcase and several magazine racks. He collected stamps, liked to play cards, work in his rose garden and tell jokes. On occasion he was seen doing jigsaw puzzles. He was a member of Toastmasters International and a former member of the Lions Club.
After retirement, Helen and Harry traveled to Australia for an extended vacation, to visit their daughter Joyce, who was living there at the time. In later years, Florida became their winter home where they enjoyed the company of friends, many also from Ohio. They joined in the dancing, exercising, card games, bingo, walks on the beach, bike riding and visiting local restaurants, where Harry liked to sample all good things. He was fond of pork chops and corn fritters.

Johnny Magee come in that was Howards' father & he wanted to know what your name was we told him and he thot we should of named you Wm after Uncle Will Hormell as he said he thot he was such a good man. Dad told him we would at (add) the Wm to the name which we had given you and Johnny thot that would be very nice. He was a very peculiar man but a good neighbor. There are some very funny things I can remember about Dad and some of our neighbors when I think back about them. You know he never let anyone put anything over on him. I expect Joyce will be very busy This yr, but I always hate it when I think of them giving up some of their music thats' like an education you can have every thing taken from you but that is one thing people can-not take from you, I expect Helen is busy with her School of little ones too. I am going to Louise's today or tomorrow for 2 wks & then will be back at Jeanettes If you have a chance come down There.
Will close now

Memories: by Pat Hormell
Anna was a very good cook. The grandchildren looked forward to a visit on the farm and grandmas home cooked meals. She made her own cottage cheese and butter, and fried fresh chicken in the butter. The Hormells produced and sold maple syrup. Maple syrup was the sweetener of choice in their home; even on hand cranked ice cream.
When grandma Hormell visited us she would sit in front of our aquarium and watch the fish for hours; she thought they were fascinating. She was small in stature and quiet.

HISEY REUNION
Thursday, August 19, 1909 was the day set for the annual reunion of the Hisey families. It seemed as though all nature smiled down on us; it was an ideal morning for occasions of this kind, and a goodly number of the connections of this grand old family took advantage of the beautiful morning, and early began to gather at the old homestead, where the first of the Hisey family in this community settled. Joseph W. Hisey and wife now occupy this place.
Over one hundred years ago the first family of Hiseys came and settled on this farm, two and one-half miles south of Waynesville. Twenty years ago this fall this family held their first reunion and each year since they have met. Each year we have one or more deaths to record, and each year we greet some that have not come before.
Sarah A. Hamilton is the oldest representative of the family, her mother being Jemima Hisey Ridge. Early this pleasant morning the buggies, carriages and automobiles began driving in from all different directions. As each one came they were met by Joseph Hisey and wife and given a welcome that made each heart glad.
