Notes:

Memories... by Patricia Beck Hormell
When grandma was not busy gardening, milking cows, feeding the chickens, slopping the hogs, or canning she was quilting, tatting, or crocheting. I remember the bright, colorful, jars of vegetables and fruit sitting in rows down in the cellar or in the pantry that Grandma had "put up". She made the best homemade sauerkraut and pickles. I still have her recipe for Spicy Sweet Chunk Pickles. Grandma also made cottage cheese and butter. I remember the cottage cheese hanging in a bag on the clothes line or helping churn butter in the old glass butter churn, watching the paddles turn and the liquid separate. She always wore a house dress even in the garden. I never saw her wear slacks. Even though life on the farm was hard work and long days, grandma always seemed cheerful and was good to me.
Grandma made quilts for each of her grandchildren and since I was her first grandchild I had my choice of several. I chose the one she intended for me to have. Even when her fingers were swollen and arthritic and they didn't want to move she still did beautiful work. As a child I sat on the front porch of the farmhouse and learned to piece the many colors of material together that Grandma collected from flour and feed sacks, or scraps leftover from sewing. Back then flour and feed came in cloth sacks that could be used by the farmer's wife for sewing dresses, making quilts, etc.
Grandma 'let' me help with the dishes and harvest produce from the garden. I liked to take a warm, ripe tomato, wipe it on my jeans and eat it right out in the garden; or peel a turnip and eat it.
I will always remember the smell of leftover pie pastry sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, baked till flaky and lightly browned, placed on the table where we could break off a piece for a sweet treat. Grandmas' pies were great! After I was married I wanted to make a pie and made a trip to visit my grandparents so grandma could give me her recipe for pastry. When I asked her for the recipe she told me that she didn't have a recipe but could teach me to make pie pastry. Then grandma proceeded to take out the ingredients and with a pinch of this and a handful of that Grandma made a pie. That was my start at baking pies.
Grandma fell and broke her hip from which she never recovered. I visited her in the hospital even though everyone said she was not able to recognize anyone. I'm glad I paid a visit and know that she did recognize me because she talked about Kim, my daughter, and asked how she was. Grandma had kidney failure and died the next day.

LANCASTER COUPLE GO TO COVINGTON THIS MORNING
With Matrimonial Intentions - Will Reside With the Groom's Sister on Garfield Avenue.
Nelson Smith an employee of the Hocking Flint Glass Company of 630 Garfield avenue, in company with Miss Muriel Colvin, daughter of Mrs. Sidney Colvin of East street, stole a march on their friends and eloped to Covington, Kentucky this morning with marital intentions.
Both the young man and the young woman are of age, but they decided to make the trip to Kentucky in order that the former might escape being "kidded" by his factory friends.
Yesterday afternoon Smith went to his foreman Chris Denning and asked for permission to be off work today.
"What for?" asked Denning:
"Why, I want to go down to Kentucky and get married like you did", said Smith, referring to the foreman's own trip to Covington not long ago.
Denning granted Smith a day's leave of absence and promised to keep his secret until after his return home tonight. The young couple will make their home for the present with the groom's sister Mrs. W. J. Harris of Garfield avenue.
