See the first post in this series. Robert McNutt died this morning at 5:30 A.M. Jan. 19, 1981. —Violet's husband. Robert Vivian McNutt was married to Lillian's sister, Violet Ellen Wakefield. Violet had predeceased her husband in 1975. Robert was born 16 September 1897 to Alvin Taylor McNutt and Lucinda Smith. He and Violet had three sons: William Edward, Clair Everett "Rusty", and Glee Lee. Robert was 83 when he died.  See the first post in this series. Bob and Diane Lorr, Jason and David ABC of prayer Richard & Connie Golinsky, Tracy — Harold & Violet Graham's daughter I'm beginning to wonder if the lists of names that are unfamiliar to me might be people who requested prayer? We may never know…  See the first post in this series. Acts 9:36 — Name Dorcas found. Dorcas is the name of Lillian's only granddaughter. She is the daughter of Lillian's oldest son, Edward, my granduncle.
Acts 9:36 (NIV) — "In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor." See the first post in this series. Herb and Ann Mack — Patric, Connie, Jeffry, Viccey, Nancy. The Mack surname suggests that Herb may be a distant cousin of Lillian's, however, the only Herb (or Herbert) I can find on my family tree does not fit within this family structure. Lillian's mother, Nannie, was born Nannie Emma Mack. It is possible that this family is of no relation at all. John and Sara Higgins, John, Deniece, Joseph, Clarice, James If I had to guess, I would say that this is a family who attended Lillian's church. As a pastor's wife, the names of parishioners (and even visitors) would be important to her. I have not found any relations with the surname of Higgins. Note: I have chosen to leave Lillian's spellings intact. I've had this old blue binder of my great-grandmother's notes collecting dust in my bedroom for quite awhile now. I've been meaning to preserve it digitally for quite some time. I've decided that time is now. Written later in life, most of it is comprised of bits of information she didn't want to forget. You do come across the occasional diary-like entry, but they are the exception. There is nothing profound or even compelling about the writings, but they are a piece of her and she deemed them important enough to jot down. That makes them important enough for me. Below you will find the first snippet of many. 2 tbsp. salt to 1 gal. water. Sprinkle on cabbage to kill worms. Lola C.  I don't personally know how effective this tip is, but I did find the same formula on a gardening blog. Lillian did marry a farm hand (who later became a preacher) so it's natural that this would be her first entry. Ancestry Note: Lola C. refers to Lola Stake Cramer. She was Grandma Lillian's sister-in-law. Lola was married to Oliver "Perry" Cramer, the brother of my great-granddad, Collins.  I can remember a few events prior to 2001 that caused me to become a news junkie for a few days or hours. The first was watching the LAPD chase a white Bronco. It was 1994 and I was 7 years old. It's a very brief, but notable memory. The week that both Princess Diana and Mother Teresa died was another. I remember watching Princess Di's funeral and feeling like I had lost my princess. These events affected me, but September 11, 2001 was on another level. I was older, it happened on my soil, in my state, and presented a very real threat. I was in my 9th grade AP Biology class when they made the announcement over the school's PA system. By then I think both towers had been hit. When we finally went home, I watched all the news coverage I could. Like a lot of us did. But until a few days ago, I had no real connection to the tragedy. I had no face to connect to the names read every year. As I was working to add one of my Ancestry DNA matches to my tree, I discovered that this particular match had a sister who was working at 2 World Trade Center on the 89th floor that fateful day. Her name was Mary Lou Hague and she is my 6th cousin. When I watch the documentaries or hear the names being read aloud, I know that I don't just share a human bond but a familial one, however distant, with at least one of the souls taken from us that day.
