The Axsom Branch Archaeological Site
can you believe it? The United States Government has designated an archaelogical research site with the Axsom name in it!
The name "Axsom Branch" refers to a creek in southwestern Brown County, Indiana. The Axsom Branch currently flows northward and empties into Lake Monroe. Before Lake Monroe existed, Axsom Branch emptied into Salt Creek. William David Axsom's family farm was near Axsom Branch. Several other Axsom families in Samuel David Axsom's clan had homes in the valley that cradled Axsom Branch.

Axsom Cemetery Cleanup Initiated by Norma Zanetti
(Axsom Newsletter June-Dec 2005)
Norma Zanetti wrote an email in late October, 2005 about her recent visit with her husband Joe Zanetti to the old Axsom Family Cemetery in Surry County, NC. She & Joe drove to the old farm where the cemetery is located.
"We went to the end of the roadbed where we thought the cemetery would be. Joe got our of the car & looked, but couldn't find the cemetery. My heart sank. I thought someone had destroyed the stones. But Joe kept walking and finally found it. The reason we couldn't spot that copse of trees was because the corn had been planted all the way up to the trree line. Joe got back in the car & drove over the cornstalks. He helped me get into the trees far enough to get by the M.C. Anthony stone-the big one that is more modern. I could see some of the other stones, but couldn't get close to them. Joe couldn't get to all of them either. We had an old sheet in the car. I got Joe to tear a strip off and we tied it to a tree on the edge of the cemetery. That may help someone find it, but I think it will be hard for anyone who hasn't been there before to spot it.
The condition of the cemetery saddens me, but I really don't know what to do about it. It looked great after Alton cleaned it (in 1995) and after the men Red Axsom hired to clear it (in 2000.) I think that last cleanup was $500. I can't see spending that much money to just let the cemetery go and get back in the same condition in a year or two. We really need someone to maintain the cemetery. If we could get someone to commit to keeping it cleared, it shouldn't cost nearly as much and the initial clearing. I don't know how many cemeteries there are in Surry County like ours, but I think it would be a great project for churches or other organizations to 'adopt a cemetery'..."
A few days later Norma wrote to say that her son Joe Zanetti, Jr who is between jobs, would be willing to clean the cemetery for $275. The officers agreed to have Norma's son do the cleanup. Joe Zanetti Jr took some pictures of the cleanup activity. he didn't take a chainsaw but needed one. The cemetery is full of roots. Some Joe could not cut. He said he would go back in the spring and take the chainsaw if we want, he will spray Roundup.
Norma says the reason the cemetery grows up so fast is because of all the roots there. Its not known if one spraying of Roundup will kill everything and we would be left with dirt for awhile. There is no grass in the cemetery. It is all briars and a little bit of everything growing there.
Norma noted that her son Joe and his wife Tina ventured into the old farmhouse on the property. It is believed that the farmhouse & farm belonged to the Cockerham family. Joseph H. Axsom Jr.s oldest son, James Monroe Axsom married Nancy Jane Cockerham. Joe &Tina concluded that the house is haunted. They said they heard what sounded like footsteps upstairs, but couldn't find anyone. Joe said the mantle in the house is just like the one that his mother, Norma got from the house thought to belong to Joseph H Axsom, Jr. The mantle had the same round decorative pieces that Norma's had. Joseph Jr. was a carpenter and he may have made that mantle for his son's wife's parents.
A big vote of thanks and appreciation to Joe Zanetti Jr and to his Mom Norma, for this effort.
We do have a continuing challange, however. Year after year, this cemetery needs a cleaning. A once-a-year cleanup should be less expensive than a cleanup every 5 years. The challange is to locate a responsible person to do the cleanup-or a responsible organization that would take on the annual cemetery cleanup as a project. We need some suggestions on how to handle this challange!

Norma's Civil War Notes
by Norma Zanetti
Compiled Military Service Records are mostly comprised of muster rolls, pay rolls, hospital rolls, regimental returns, etc. The records usually show name, rank, unit,date of entry, discharge or death dates. there are references made to capture, absences from unit, and other events. sometimes a physical description and/or personal papers are included. generally the records for Union soldiers are more complete because many Confederate records were lost or destroyed during the war. the Confederate Records that survived are those records surrendered or captured after the War. since records may be incomplete (for either side) one may be led to believe that a soldier deserted, when in fact his absence was temporary for reasons unknown to the officer making the roll and later records showing additional service do not exist in the Compiled Military Service Records. other sources may provide evidence of a soldier's continued service. anyone interested in the Civil War service of their ancestors and gaining valuable information about those ancestors should search beyond Compiled Military Service Records (e.g. surrender rolls, medical records, various state & federal records, and pension records.)
pension records often contain detailed information, personal & family history, battles fought, wonds, marriage dates, etc. for example, Israel Axsom's Compiled Military Service Records listed him on a Roll of Honor with the notation: "killed in battle at Winchester." when his widow filed an application for a pension in 1901, a detailed &horrid account of his wound and death was given: "was a soldier & wounded in the left knee on or about 25May1862 and his leg had to be cut off twice and from said effects he died in a few days, he was wounded in the Battle at Winchester, VA..." fewer Confederate soldiers and their widows rec'd pensions because Confederate pensions were granted by states & generally were made available at a later date than Union pensions. as a result, many Confederate soldiers and their spouses had died by the time pensions were made available to veterans. some soldiers rec'd pensions although their records listed them as deserters and the requisite for pensions was honorable discharge. it is assumed those soldiers were able to present other evidence to support their claims.
Lest We Forget: This year (2005) marks the 140th Anniversary of General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox on 09April1865 and the virtual end of the bloodiest war in our nations's history.

Axsoms in the Civil War
Lest We Forget
by Norma Axsom Zanetti
When Joseph H Axsom Sr died in 1833, he & his wife Nancy, had ten living children: six sons and four daughters. Among the six sons, the three youngest served the Confederate States of America during the Civil War: Joseph Jr, James S, and Alexander. By the beginning of the war in 1861, Joesph had grandsons of the age to serve. Of those grandsons known to have served were Israel P. Axsom, Hezekiah Axsom, Samuel J. Axsom, and John Andrew Axsom. All served for the Confederacy with the exception of Hezekiah. Hezekiah's father, Samuel David, migrated to Indiana in the 1830s. The state of Indiana was established as a free commonwealth & was one of the earliest states to volunteer for the Union.
The following is a list of Joseph H. Axsom's descendants who served in the Civil War wtih a brief description of their service gathered primarily from Compiled Military Service Records obtained from the National Archives.
Joseph H Axsom Jr son of Joseph H Axsom SR.
Joseph Jr married Mary Setliff about 1838. Joseph Jr enlisted in Short's Local Defense Comany C 5th Regiment, North Carolina Senior Reserves in Dobson., Surry County, NC on 16 July 1864. The Senior Reserves were mainly used to relieve the regular troops and serve as guards at Salisbury Prison and railroad bridges. The Company Muster Roll dated January & February 1865 noted that Joseph was absent because he had been detailed from January 25 to July 23 1865 by order of Major Mallet. Joseph's age at the time of his enlistment was 48 years, 5 months, 6 days. He was described as having been 5 feet 10 inches tall with fair complexion, red hair, and blue eyes.

Axsom Reunions
I believe the Branson reunion was in 2001. I could've gotten to Branson. I seriously meant to go. I was on surgery leave for hernia surgery, so had the time off. It was within driving distance. But when it came go time, I had no $. my sister Lisa drove to Branson for the family dinner. I bought tshirts from 2 reunions.
my dad met Larry Axsom at a reunion in Cainsville or Saline when Koren & Kj were young. he gave me his address, I got the first Axsom book & started corresponding with Larry, giving him what info I had, & getting him in touch with Grandma Pauline Shafer Axsom for the rest.
when they drove to Missouri for the Branson reunion, Larry & Ruth drove up here & came to our house to visit. that was cool.
I joined the AAA & contributed our family births & deaths to the newsletter.
I always said I'd buy a tent, take Koren & KJ & Lisa & John, & we'd drive to Indiana for the annual Axsom reunion there. there was a campground in the area we could camp at. did this ever happen? (no.)
I have all 3 Axsom books by Larry, & the cd.
at the reunions they did all kind of cool things.....silent auctions....a family quilt that I don't think I ever got the block done for....and a family cookbook (I think? I would've bought it if there was one...but no more than I crack a cookbook, not even sure where they all are!)
I always meant to go. I have declared myself the family genealogist! but I don't spend much time on it anymore. and no there are no more National Reunions. The AAA was disbanded after Larry's death, the $ in the treasury donated to a college in his memory. no more newsletter. Larry did a lot for the Axsoms. when I was a kid, I didn't know any other Axsoms but my grandparents & uncle in California. but there were lots of them out there! and Larry found a lot of them. so now I just post any new family births, deaths, marriages, etc. on here. maybe someone will find them...

Delila Axsom
an article by Norma Zanetti from the Axsom Association of America Newsletter
Norma researches the branches of the Axsom family and sends the following notes from her many findings. This article illustrates how the history of a person and family can unfold with persistent research and follow through. In the census listings that follow, the three state abbreviations refer to the state of birth for the individual,the individuals father, and mother, respectively.
Until checking the 1870 Monroe County, IN census, I was not aware that a Martin Axsom, age 25, cabinetmaker, b. NC, was listed in the same household with Samuel David Axsom.
This was likely MArtin H. , son of Andrew Axsom of Surry Co, NC, -same age. And, Martin had not been found on any 1870 NC census. Martin was still in NC in 1869 as evidenced by a deed dated 1869 (Surry Deed Book 12, p.421), Martin Henry (?) Axsom sold to William E. Axsom 25 acres on both sides of Snow Creek. This may have been part of the land that was conveyed to Martin and brother, Francis, by Andrew in 1867 (Surry Deed Book, 12, p.419)
evidently, Martin sold his land & moved to Indiana.

It looks as if Martin H. Axsom moved in with Samuel David Axsom & absonded with Samuel's daughter in 1874. Delila would have been 16 years old and Martin H would have been 29.
Martin H Axsom age 25 born in NC was in Samuel David's household in 1870.
Delila Axsom & Martin H Axsom marry in 1874.
Martin H. Axsom age 34 born in NC foundon 1880 OR Census with wife Delila, age 22, born in IN, and unnamed son, 3 mos. old, born in Oregon.
However, Delila was back in Indiana by 1885. she married Rial Martin in either MArch or December 1885. (dates on marriage record conflict.)
What happened to Martin? did he die or did they divorce?
and what happened to the 3 month old son?

This find brings on sadness at the thoughts of what must have been a very difficult and trying period for Delila. Delila would have been about 7 months pregnant when she married in 1874 if she went full term. Martin & Delila probably left for Oregon soon after their marriage. Their daughter, Martha, died when she was 2 years old. Son, Willie, born in 1880 died at 4 months old. Martin died 3 years later. Delila buried two children & a husband by the time she was 25 years old. She was alone far away from home. She did manage to return to Indiana & marry a second time.

It is assumed Riley/Rial Martin died before 1910 since Delila was listed as being widowed in 1910.

this Delia/Delila was of the approximate age of Delila Axsom, but if the census is correct & she was born in West Virginia, she would NOT have been Delilah Axsom. However, Delila may have had ties in Clark County. She & Martin Axsom lived in Clark Co.
Delila Axsom Martin was still living in 1927 according to the obituary for her half brother, Samuel J. Axsom, who died in 1927. Lyla Martin was listed as a surviving sister.

this is as far as I have gotten with the family of Delila (Axsom) Axsom Martin. if anyone has a death date for Delila, please let me know. it's possible she remarried. I am also trying to find a death record for Delila's twin sister Delitha. Delitha married John H. Taylor & lived in Lawrence County, IN. Delitha was still living when her brother, William David Axsom, died in 1936.

(deb's note. I so admire the way Norma sunk her teeth into a mystery & just didn't give up, piling up her sources & facts & presenting them. She did so much for the family genealogy. she is missed! )
Norma researches the branches of the Axsom family and sends the following notes from her many findings. This article illustrates how the history of a person and family can unfold with persistent research and follow through. In the census listings that follow, the three state abbreviations refer to the state of birth for the individual,the individuals father, and mother, respectively.
Until checking the 1870 Monroe County, IN census, I was not aware that a Martin Axsom, age 25, cabinetmaker, b. NC, was listed in the same household with Samuel David Axsom.
This was likely MArtin H. , son of Andrew Axsom of Surry Co, NC, -same age. And, Martin had not been found on any 1870 NC census. Martin was still in NC in 1869 as evidenced by a deed dated 1869 (Surry Deed Book 12, p.421), Martin Henry (?) Axsom sold to William E. Axsom 25 acres on both sides of Snow Creek. This may have been part of the land that was conveyed to Martin and brother, Francis, by Andrew in 1867 (Surry Deed Book, 12, p.419)
evidently, Martin sold his land & moved to Indiana.

It looks as if Martin H. Axsom moved in with Samuel David Axsom & absonded with Samuel's daughter in 1874. Delila would have been 16 years old and Martin H would have been 29.
Martin H Axsom age 25 born in NC was in Samuel David's household in 1870.
Delila Axsom & Martin H Axsom marry in 1874.
Martin H. Axsom age 34 born in NC foundon 1880 OR Census with wife Delila, age 22, born in IN, and unnamed son, 3 mos. old, born in Oregon.
However, Delila was back in Indiana by 1885. she married Rial Martin in either MArch or December 1885. (dates on marriage record conflict.)
What happened to Martin? did he die or did they divorce?
and what happened to the 3 month old son?

This find brings on sadness at the thoughts of what must have been a very difficult and trying period for Delila. Delila would have been about 7 months pregnant when she married in 1874 if she went full term. Martin & Delila probably left for Oregon soon after their marriage. Their daughter, Martha, died when she was 2 years old. Son, Willie, born in 1880 died at 4 months old. Martin died 3 years later. Delila buried two children & a husband by the time she was 25 years old. She was alone far away from home. She did manage to return to Indiana & marry a second time.

It is assumed Riley/Rial Martin died before 1910 since Delila was listed as being widowed in 1910.
Have not been able to locate Delila in Vigo County in 1920. However, her daughter, Lilly, was living in Vigo Co in 1920 & 1930
there was a Delia Martin listed on the 1920 Clark Co, IN Census, ED 8 Jeffersonville sheet 5b
Martin, Delia age 61 widowed b.WV WV WV
this Delia/Delila was of the approximate age of Delila Axsom, but if the census is correct & she was born in West Virginia, she would NOT have been Delilah Axsom. However, Delila may have had ties in Clark County. She & Martin Axsom lived in Clark Co.
Delila Axsom Martin was still living in 1927 according to the obituary for her half brother, Samuel J. Axsom, who died in 1927. Lyla Martin was listed as a surviving sister.

forest fires!
editor of the Axsom Association of America newsletter Larry Axsom sent an email to Louise & Ron Axsom of Mesa Arizona last fall when forest fires were burning near their summer home in Pinetop, AZ. here is Louise's reply.
As you probably know, there is a forest fire neaer Whiteriver and 15 miles SW of Pinetop/Lakeside. Today we have a slight wind blowing to the South toward Whiteriver from Pinetop.
There is no immediate danger to these communities. All we have to do is stay tuned to the local radio station for the latest. We do not watch any tv news because they are prone to panic people and make it worse than it really is. Remember, we have experience with this sort of disaster. Eyes and ears open and nose to the wind. Above all the radio tells us, do not panic.
Since the Chediski fire last year, the Whiteriver Apaches have been clearing the scrub brush from their land. from the reservation line on hwy.260 by Hon-dah, on both sides of the road, turning off to hwy 73 down to Whiteriver, it has been cleared of scrub brush. this is what is burning 5 miles sw of Whiteriver. it is a ground fire in very rough country. Hope I didn't tell you more than you want to know about this.

Delila Axsom
an article in the Axsom Association of America by Norma Zanetti
(my version....)
Delila was the daughter of Samuel David Axsom & Melvina Hall Axsom.
born March 8 1858.
married Martin H. Axsom a cousin from North Carolina 4 Dec 1874 in Clark County Indiana.
they moved to Oregon shortly after marriage. Delila had 2 children, Martha & Willie. Both children died in infancy as evidenced by Polk County, Orengon cemetery records. Martin died in Polk County in 1883. he is buried with the children at Dallas Cemetery in Dallas, Oregon.
Delila returned to Indiana & married Rial Martin 23March1885. they had 3 daughters Lilly, Ethel, & Mable. in 1900 they were living in Morgan County, Indiana. by 1910, Delila was living in Vigo County, Indiana. the census listed her as widowed. that leads to the assumption that he died after the 19000 census & before the 1910 census.
couldn't find Delila on any other census after 1910, but could follow her daughter Lilly through 1920. I did not have a death date for Rial or Delila. Bycoincidence, a few days after the publication of the last AAA newsletter that had my research notes on Delila I recieved an email through the Lawrence County Rootsweb mailing listing written by Mary Durland. she wrote "My grandmother Lilly Martin & her parents Riley MArtin & Delilah Taylor lived in Lawrence Co, IN when Lilly was young. she may have been born there. According to my aunt they lived near Huron on the White River. Lilly was born July 12 1887. her younger sisters were Ethel Martin born May 1890 & Mabel Martin born Oct 13 1894. Riley drowned in the White River in the early 1900s. Any information you could find on this Martin family would be appreicated. I knew this was the same family although Mary thought Delila's maiden name was Taylor.
After learning from MAry that Rial died in the early 1900s, I began a search for a death record. I located a death record for Rilas (sic) Martin in Morgan Co, Indiana. the cause of death accidental drowning. Rial is buried at Hilldale Cemetery. Rial's parents were Moses Martin & Catherine Helton Martin. Mary provided the date of death for Delila: 12 May 1933.
I could not convince Mary that Delila was an Axsom-family tradition is hard to break. But I received email from Mary in November and she informed me that she had proof positive that Delila was indeed an Axsom. I admire Mary for taking the iniative to do the research herself and not rely on my research or others. Genealogies are often riddled with errors.

2003 North Carolina/Virgina Axsom Reunion
The annual Axsom reunion was held October 19 2003 at the Cascade Community Center in Cascade, Virginia. approximately 75 family members & guests.
family member traveling the farthest to attend was Doris Chilton Arnold. she had not attended the reunion in many years because her husband was in the military & they were usually stationed in distant places. She is the daughter of the late James Chilton & Bessie Axsom Chilton. She & Doug currently reside in Shalimar, Florida.
Cathy Axsom Spangler displayed her collection of Axsom photographs old & new. She is an excellent photographer & takes pictures at reunions and other gatherings.
After a delicious covered dish meal, a country music band provided entertainment. Eugene "Gene" Axsom stole the show. Gene lives near the Community Center & had been taking dancing lessons there. The ladies were waiting in line to dance with him.
It was an enjoyable afternoon for all. Thanks to Gene & Faye Axsom for making the arrangements at the Community Center. And to Cathy Axsom Spangler for mailing postcard invitations.

Cathy Axsom Spangler displayed her collection of Axsom photographs old & new. She is an excellent photographer & takes pictures at reunions and other gatherings.
After a delicious covered dish meal, a country music band provided entertainment. Eugene "Gene" Axsom stole the show. Gene lives near the Community Center & had been taking dancing lessons there. The ladies were waiting in line to dance with him.
It was an enjoyable afternoon for all. Thanks to Gene & Faye Axsom for making the arrangements at the Community Center. And to Cathy Axsom Spangler for mailing postcard invitations.
200 Years of Axsom Descendants!
September-December 2003 Axsom Association of America Newsletter
(my version....)
The first child of Joseph & Nancy Axsom was born 200 years ago in 1804. Martin Axsom was the first born in the first generation of Axsoms that Joseph & Nancy started. Lewis & Clark started on their epic exploration of the northwestern extent of our country in the same year that Joseph & Nancy started raising the family that sired all of us Axsom descendents!
Both Meriweather Lewis & his patron, President Thomas Jefferson, were from Virginia-the state just north of North Carolina where Joseph & Nancy lived. The many presentations of the Lewis & Clark adventures that we see today in the celbratory spirit of their 200th anniversary provide clues to life in those early days of our country. The Corps of Discovery traveled mainly by boat which was sometimes powered by a sail but many times was propelled by "poling"-pushing the boat with poles powered by members of the Corps. They also traveled on horseback for a few weeks of their three-year adventure. No internal combustion engines, no steam power-just nature and muscle-moved them towards their goal. They traveled on rivers and through mountains. Our ancestor Joseph, born about 1778, was just about 4 years younger than Lewis who was born in Albemarle Co. VA on August 18 1774. Joseph was certainly as old as many of the members of Lewis & Clark's crew.
The tasks of getting food, shelter, & warmth were paramount in importance...we know from records that there was no retail store where Joseph traded-however he was not wealthy and so had to procure his food as inexpensively as he could-which meant hunting and farming. The hills of Surry Co. undoubtedly provided meat for their table as they raised young Martin-and Martin was certainly old enough to eat that meat...
The daily chore of chopping wood for the stove was upon Joseph...and their house...what was it like? We don't know anything about their house, except that it existed in the early 1800s and wasn't in town. Likely it was not on their own property when Martin was born. Their first recorded entry on the county tax list was not until several years later. They had no running water or electricity...all chores done by hand...washing clothes, pots and pans and diapers!
What do we know of Martin himself? A marriage bond was posted by Martin Axsom, groom, and Susannah Lundy, bride, in Surry County on 3 May 1826. In 1827 his name appeared in the Surry County tax list as having 20 acres on Dutchman's Creek. In 1829 the Surry County Tax List credited him with 100 acres on Pheasant Branch.
In 1830, the US Census showed Martin Axsom living in Surry County-no slaves in household. 1840 Census shows him in same county...one person in family involved in agriculture and one person involved in manufacturing and trade. Living in Marshes District on 11 October 1850, according to US Census, were Martin Axsom, a 45 year old farmer, his wife Susannah age 51 & daughter Elizabeth, 16.
1870 US Census: Martin Axsom 67 year old farmer, Susannah age 71 keeping house, and three of their grandchildren: Martin age 16 farm laborer, Nancy age 14 & James age 11 both listed as "at school."
If "Marshes District" is the same as Marsh Township, then Martin lived north of the Yadkin River. His mother Nancy also lived in the North Division of Marshes District in 1850. Unlike his two older brothers, Martin had a small family-4 children. His son, Israel lived in Surry County according to census records. Martin Axsom died 02 January 1873 (tombstone) nearly 69. Susannah died 10 April 1879 about 80. Both were buried in what we now call the Axsom Family Cemetery in Surry Co, NC.
Martins occupation was listed in census records as both farmer and wagon maker. From other records we know he was a Justice of the Peace. 1860 census lists Susannah as "tayloress".
Census records tell us that Martin (as well as most of Joseph & Nancy's children) was literate. When he died he owned a home tract of 200 acres, 8 town lots in Dobson, NC, and an additional 112 acres. While not wealthy, one gets the impression that he was fairly well to do for his time. At the time of his death he held several notes--money owed to him by various people.
Four children were raised in their home: Isaac Lundy (a stepson on Martin's), Isreal, Nancy, & Elizabeth. Israel died after two amputations from wounds received in the Civil War in 1862. Nancy had five children. Elizabeth had 6-one named Tennessee Margaret Lundy lived until 1947 & died in Surry County.
And so the first offspring of Joseph & Nancy lived until 1873 in and around Surry Co. He was born as Lewis & Clark were discovering what Indians lived in the west. He died after the conclusion of the Civil War when the west was being taken from the Indians by the US military and pioneers.

Axsom Association of America
Larry Axsom & Norma Zanetti were the driving forces behind 2 important genealogy tools for my family....The Axsom Association of America & The Axsom Page. both are deceased....when I tried to go to the sites after finding some old Axsom Association of America newsletters today so I could post a link from here....neither are available. So, I'll post some of the stuff out of the newsletters on here....a little at at time!
I also own all 3 Axsom books...the first was just typed pages that you had to put in your own binder. The 2nd & 3rd are bound volumes. and I have the Axsom CD. if anyone needs info from these....I can look it up for you.

Hometown Boy
Kevin's great uncle Duane Dailey has written a newspaper column for years entitled Hometown Boy. It appears in our local newspaper: The Mirror.
Farm Camp refreshes family's farmland heritage
A week of Farm Camp allowed me to become reacquainted with the family farmland, my grandson and my accepting relatives. To me, all hold high value.
July 4, 2009, at a family reunion, we hatched a plan for Farm Camp for Grandson Samuel from Florida. On his short visit then for a multi-generational gathering of in-laws and out-laws, Sam didn't get a true view of farm life. There were family gabs, big dinners, fireworks, marshmallow roasts and more talking around a campfire. Oh, yes, there was the pond fishing.
This Camp offers grandpa and a grandson more used to Snorkel Camp a closer look at the farm. There are cows, hay baling, rain, corn and soybeans, farm dogs, cats, ticks, poison ivy, and manure. And, there's history. Our ancestors started arriving soon after Missouri became a state; even before the counties we now know.
We wonder and marvel at why they did that. Reading between the lines, they must have been independent-minded cusses who just didn't require much government. And the recognized the bounty of this land.
I've heard stories of one great-grandfather, who now lies in his grave on this family farm, knew a broad stretch of land as well or better than we know our own backyards. Back then, it was a case of living off the land. He knew, I was told by a man who held similar knowledge, the location of every bee tree, nut tree, fox den, duck slough and quail covey. He would walk over a two-or-three county area on an outing.
Need I say this was before Wal-Mart and John Deere? He knew how to make things out of what we consider nothing. Once in awhile, I must stop my hectic pace and contemplate that.
There must have been times when I'd encountered bureaucratic stupidity so profound, I feared blowing a cork. At that point, I'd stopped right there, closed shop and headed back to the farm to spend time sitting on a hill, under an evergreen treeon a mossy spot not farm from those ancestors' graves. From that view, what I thought were imponderably profound problems became tiny specks on that timeline of my ancestors, who originally came from distant lands to help create this land of the free.
With those thoughts, I came to realize, that indeed I do have an obligation to sustain this land and this choice of freedom, open to future generations. Long ago, those ancestors with the sharpest sword must have won. Closer to my generation, but before my time, another great-grandpa was quick with his fists when riled by some Damn Democrat.
That's not my way. No fights. Just words and attempts at analytical thinking.
At farm camp, at sunup one morning with first cup of caffeine, we held a mini-seminar on how hard it is to find commonsense in hired hands and politicians. I discovered that fine grandson, who I see once a year, is developing a fine wit and sense of irony, but no cynicism.
He seeks wisdom. Those freedom-seeking ancestors would be proud to see him here--on their land.
He brings skills. Sam outfished his grandpa and great uncle. He caught bigger and more fish to earn honors as Bass Pro. Best of all, he brought computer skills. He is armed to tackle the modern world. He fixed one virus-bound computer on the farm, installed new operating softward on another and drivers for the printers. Best of all he installed updated Photoshop software on his grandpa's computer.
That was in his spare time, when not driving four-wheelers. Some things don't change. He drove the pickup around the pasture learning great shifts. That's how I started.
Did I mention, he is 15 and arrived with a new and unused learners permit?
It was a good farm camp/computer camp/fish camp with a lot of commonsense learning.

X-mas card from the past....
I've been doing a bit of cleaning....found this card from my cousin Chris Crawford & family....
"Hope this Christmas finds you and yours well. We are busy as usual trying to keep up with the girls. They are growing up so fast so we are trying to enjoy them while we can. Ashley is 16 and now and driving. I thought it was terrifying riding with her and then she scored a 94 on her driving test. I am sure I only got in the 70's. Now she corrects my driving. Anyway she is a sophomore and is on the pom pons squad, in band, every club she can think of and still dancing 4 hours a week. Tara is 11 and in the 5th grade. She also dances 4 hours a week but she is into sports too. They both love school and love to compete against each other on who has the best grades. Chris and I did find time to go to the Nascar races this year and had a blast. Mostly we all just feel fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family to share our lives with!
Chris, Robin, Ashley, & Tara Crawford."
