A STORY FROM THE EDITOR PIECED TOGETHER FROM AMY D AND PATSY W
One Thanksgiving when Amy couldn't be with the family in Kentucky, Patsy and Richard and the boys called her to sing a silly song that Amy had learned at camp and had taught them. It's sung to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw"



Oh, the horse put his foot, put his foot on the ground,
Oh, the horse put his foot, put his foot on the ground,
Oh, the horse put his foot, put his foot on the ground,
Ain’t this a pitiful song?
(Refrain)
Alfalfa Hay, alfalfa hay, alfalfa hay, alfalfa hay

Same horse second foot
Repeat above



After they sang the song (all 4 legs, I mean verses), they waited for Amy's reaction and heard a strange woman in Chicago say: "I appreciate you singing that song, but I'm not Amy."

These people meant a lot to Alice and the family:


David and Esther Rule with daughter David was the pastor at the Presbyterian Church




Does anyone know how long Alice worked for the Board of Education?









Amy D. sent this Memorial Obituary about her mother,
Joan (Richard's sister and Alice's daughter).
Amy was a young child when her mother died
and it seemed fitting to include this with Amy's pictures.
It's not easily read so here is some of the information:
Shirley Joan Harbert was 34 when she passed away January 22, 1965. She had been ill for some time. She lived in Three Rivers, Michigan and was survived by her husband, Ray Harbert; her daughter, Amy Lynn; her mother, Alice Wilson; her father, Benton Wilson; her brother, Richard Wilson; maternal grandmother, Mary Baker. Services were held in Stanton, KY.






Note: If you right click on the memorial article and then go up to the top where it says 'open link' and click on it, you can view the article in a larger size.
