IT'S A SMALL WORLDOne morning while Mother and I were shopping we ran into Verlis, who used to

be our neighbor. She introduced her daughter-in-law who was visiting her from Illinois.I immediately asked where in Illinois.She said, "Decatur".I replied that I was born in Paris, my father was from Casey, and my mother was

from Marshall; none of which were far from Decatur. The daughter-in-law said thatVerlis was born in Casey.

Turning to Verlis, I asked if she had ever heard of a family named Adkins whenshe lived in Casey. She said yes, her mother's maiden name was Adkins.

My old heart started thunping fast. ''What was your mother's name?" I exclaimed."lone.""What were her parent's names?""I don't know." she answered. "We just called them grandpa and grandma."I then asked if her mother had a brother named Theron? I held my breath and

crossed my fingers waitir.1gfor her answer.When she answered 'yes' I looked at her and gave her a hug, "Hello Cousin". I

said.

Strange, mother and I had lived next door to my cousin, Verlis, for nine monthsin 1979 not realizing our relationship.

Be careful your next door neighbor may turn out to be related.

Verlis looked at me as if I had lost my mind and then I proceeded to explainour relationship.

Even though she did not know her grandparents given names, I knew them verywell. In fact, I knew them better than my grandparents on my father's side as I hadbeen to her grandparent's home many times as a child. I had also met Verlis and hermother when we were small. She did not remember.

Verlis' grandfather, William David and my grandfather, Martin Luther Adkinswere brothers who had married half sisters. My grandmother Adkins died when myfather was a young lad of about 13 years. I had never met my grandfather Adkins untilI was about 10 or,ll years old.

HOSTING A STATE CONFERENCE

Many or you have surely attended the state conrerence orsome patriotic or genealogical society in the past and areentirely ramiliar with the procedures. A good many or you haveprobably taken some part in the planning and running or suchconrerences. Let me tell you about it, however, rrom thestandpoint or a greenhorn suddenly saddled with the Job orhosting one ror the local chapter. It can be a terriryingexperience to realize that you have only the vaguest notion orwhat is involved and the responsibility is yours to see that itgoes smoothly ror the state ofricers and all the participants.

A recent article in the Orlando 'Sentinel' brought it allto mind. Vicki Vaughan or the 'Sentinel' starr was describingthe problems or an annual convention ror about rour thousanddelegates. Next to that kind or operation with its budget inthe thousands ror hotel rooms, meals, convention halls, busservice and goodness knows what-all. my little arrair seemsquite simple. And now, looking back on it, it was very simple.As my speaker was later to tell me: "You Just make yourreservations at a good hotel and let them take care or it." Hah!

Our delegates to the previous conrerence came home rromtheir meeting in Sarasota to tell us that our chapter had beenchosen to act as hosts ror the 1988 conrerence in May. They hadtried to get out or it, knowing that we were very rew in numbersand even smaller in able-bodied membership. Our chapterpresident was known to be quite inexperienced and veryunwilling. (Me, in other words). Apparently there was no wayout or it. It was time ror the meeting to be held in centralFlorida and that meant we were elected.

It has been my custom to go north ror the summer and itseemed to me that I would be completely unable to enjoy my stayin South Dakota ir I was worrying about what hotel and whatspeaker could be obtained. Those two things would have to bepinned down berore I lert town even though our meeting wastwelve months away. On reading the 'Sentinel' article, I seethat the paid proressional planner started six years ahead ortime! I wrote to the state president ror some indication or "theprobable size or our group, how much they ordinarily paid rorrooms and meals, whether they wanted a hotel south or town nearDisney, how much, ir anything, they would give us ror ourbudget, what sort or banquet speaker to look ror. It developedthat the state organization was in the habit or providing $100to the host chapter ror expenses plus the $1 per memberregistration ree and that there would probably be about rirtyparticipants, including spouses and rriends. The decision aboutthe speaker was entirely up to us.

Buried Treasures - 2 - Vol. XXI, No. 1

If you compare our little budget with the one reported inthe 'Sentinel' which allowed $70.000 for three speakers and atroupe of ent er-t-ei ner-e , $25.000 for the use of the conventionhall. $40,000 to build sets and booths. etc .• etc .• you will seethat our problems were very insignif icant. HOlJeVer. I didn'tknow all of this so I set forth to consult the OrlandoConvention Bureau "lithout any idea of how ridiculous my inquirymust seem to the Bureau. And I must say. they received me andt·reated me with as much consideration as if I "lere bringing amillion dollars' worth of business to the Central Floridaeconomy. They said they would put my requirements in theirregular publication and I would undoubtedlY be hearing from anumber of hotels in the area. They were as good as their wordand in no time at all I began t.oget publ icity and inou.ir'iesfrom one hotel after another plus any number of suggestions fortrips, tours and 'attractions' in the area.

Now it was a question of co-ordinating the date for themeeting "lith hotel availability and a suitable speaker'sschedule. This becomes a question of which comes first: thechicken or the egg. Two or us visited the hotel which seemed tobe the most convenient. We were received with a total lack ofinterest which was demoralizing. Obviously we would have to trysomewhere else. It seemed to be a balancing act but, eventuallywe were fortunate enough to find that our first-choice speaker.the honorary past president of our national society. would behappy to come the last weekend in May. the hotel of our choicecould accommodate us at that time and, although it was closer toan important holiday than was convenient for our members to beon the highways. it.was accepted by our state officers.

As it developed, the hotel "Ieselected as bei ng pleasantl yattractive, convenient and with rooms priced within our rangeseemed pleased to welcome us. At the same time they would behaving a convention of magicians numbering around five hundred.By this time I was well aware of our relative insignificance inthe total picture but, the hotel's convention director assured methat our meeting was important to them. It would fill in thecracks, as she said. and add to their profit margins. So wesigned a contract for a block of guest rooms. a meeting room fortwo days. a banquet on Fr-Ldev night and a luncheon on Saturdayat an agreed price for a chicken dinner and cold deli lunch withdining room.s set aside and the final menu to be selected nearerto the meeting time. Our speaker graciouslY agreed to fly downfrom Chicago for the banquet. and all was under control for thetime being. I went north for the summer. very much relievedthat this much had been accomplished.

At our fall meeting I reported the progress to date andrequested volunteers ror table decorations. favors.entertainment, registration desk, etc. One member immediatelyraised her hand and said she would take care of the individualfavors or place cards or whatever so that was one problem undercontrol. Our vice president was also state chaplain and agreed

Buried Treasures - 3 - Va1. XXI, Na • 1

to make arrangements for flowers for the tables and a corsagefor the speaker when we had decided what was wanted. Icontinued to have a nagging sensation in the back of my mindthat something was missing. However. I kept pushing it backFurther out of sight until the time finally came when it had tobe dealt with. The check for $100 arrived from the statetreasurer along with a polite letter from the state presidentpointing out that the time was getting close for a letter to goout to the membership with all the details of registration. Icould no longer put off the final decisions. Everything must bepinned down and the information provided. Up to this pointthere had been no more volunteers. Now we would just have toassign people to the various Jobs and our few able-bodiedmembers rose to the occasion. We had a chairman to receive themeal reservations. two more to accept the registrations. preparetickets. man the registration booth all afternoon and the nextmorning. We decided that the best table decorations would beflowering plants together with the lovely little butterflies ourwilling member had needle-pointed in our blue and gold colors.The proprietor of the flower shop kindlY agreed to bring theplants over herself and see that they were nicely al~ranged. Wehad paid for our speaker's room and the plants. the butterflieswere contributed by the member who had made them and we werestill within our budget. Although prices had increased sinceour contract was signed with the hotel. they held to the agreedfigure as promised.

The state president sent over a copy of his first draft ofhis letter to the membership. We gave him our revisions andadditions and it was sent out. I began to relax. thinkingeverything was under control. We had our final meeting with thehotel catering service. agreed on a menu which. althoughunimaginative. was acceptable. We settled on a deadline t.lhenthe Final numbers for the banquet and the lunch would have to bereported. After that we could increase the number by two orthree but would be out of luck if some of them didn't turn up.We sat back and waited for the reservations to come in. Andthey did come in very nicely along with the checks so that wewould have about 45 for each day. Several merchants along ParkAvenue agreed to provide us with some samples which would makenice individual gifts and attractive table decorations as well.Things were looking good and I began to relax.

Then I got a call from the hotel. My heart sank. I had apremonition of disaster. But no. it was all very simple; themagicians' convention had turned out to be much larger than theyhad expected and they just wanted to move us into another set ofrooms. My training has always been that one was supposed to bea good sport and make the best of life's little upsets so Istarted to say: "Why. of course." But then I remembered that

Buried Treasures - 4 - Vol. XXI, No.1

this was not my party. I was simply representing the totalmembership and I must be careful. So I said I had better comeand see Just what rooms they had for us. Fine. I gathered upone of my chairmen and over we went to check the situation.

The first change was in the meeting room set aside for thestate board meeting one day and members' meeting the next. Thetwo rooms were identical. If anything, the new one was Just abit better, so we accepted that change very graciously. But thenI remembered that the two rooms were to be used also for thebanquet and lunch. I inquired how we were going to manage thatin Just one room. It developed that the hotel was in theprocess of dropping their night club and turning that space intoadditional meeting rooms. So we thought we had better take alook at that. I could see that the hotel representative wasgetting a bit apprehensive at this point but she gamely led usthrough an area of tables and chairs, along a rather drearycorridor into a large room full of glitzy lights and in theprocess of total demolition. Horrors! I looked at my friendand said: "What do you think?" "I think it's ~x~~ awful", shesaid. I turned back to our guide and told her it was notacceptable. The room couldn't possibly be ready in time and itsurely looked awful. She assured me that it would be ready.The rug would be replaced, the lights removed, the wallsrepainted and furniture moved in. No problem.

She assured us that we had a contract and the hotel wouldhonor it. If this new room was not ready, we would be given theoriginally agreed upon two rooms. However, the magicians werepressuring them for more space and they would do anything theycould to make us happy in this new spot. We asked Just what theword 'anything' included. It turned out that it included a muchbetter dinner at the same price. a bartender and cash barwithout any charge for the bartender. a loud speaker. lots ofplants to dress the place up and various other niceties. Atlast we agreed that· if the room was finished in time. we wouldaccept the change. However, we suggested that the least themagicians could do in return was to provide us with a little bitof entertainment by one of their number to spice up our banquet.She made no promises but agreed that she woul~ pass our messageon to the magicians.

Everything turned out beautifully. The speaker's planearrived on time. the cancellations exactly matched the latereservations. the magicians sent a charming young man in fulldress with a funny set of tricks, the dinner and lunch wereexcellent, the service was fine, the two people with odd dietaryrequests were taken care of without a murmur. the tables lookedlovely, all the plants were sold at cost. the little butterflieswere carried away enthusiastically. and we stayed within ourbudget. There were a few glitches: the loud speaker was a bitbalky at first, I got a little mixed up when it came to theseating at the head table. and there was some confusion as towho was doing what at the luncheon. But by and large. it was asuccessful meeting and the economy of Central Florida was everso slightly enriched. As the speaker assured me from her vastexperience: "Leave it all to the hotel and don't worry." Hah!

Capt. BOHLS, a merchant tailor in civil life, was a majestic,dignified and, stately officer of the genuine military type. Oneday, as he was drilling men on Market Street, they were marchingalong at a brisk gait toward the -Mahoning River. As they reachedthe end of the street, there was no command to stop, so in theriver they marched.

Capt. BOHLS grew red, then purple. The right word of command hecould not recall. The situation was desparate. He eventuallyresponded with "shut off the damned fools or they'll drown" andthe drilling halted.

MARYLAND CEMETERIES

One day in December of 1978, Jane W. Dukes and I were out looking forcemeteries to copy, we came across a place that we thought was a good placefor an old cemetery. There was a clump of trees out in the middle of a cornfield. We figured there had to be a good reason why this plot of ground wasnot cultivated. After tramping across frozen ground with some patches of snowhere and there we came to the spot. Sure enough there were some stones. Wefound two head stones and two footstones, but the footstones did not matchthe head stones. We probed around and found what we thought might be anotherheadstone, but we had forgotten to brin~ a shovel with us this time. Abouttwo weeks later, we came back with Jane s husband and son and of course ashovel. After digging down where we thought was a headstone, we found insteadthe cement vault for one the children. We finally found one more headstone,but never did find the other one to match the other footstone ..Copied byJane Williams Dukes, Larry Dukes, Skipper Dukes and Margret Adkins Brinsfield.

THE WESTERN RESERVE

It was the passage of the Northwestserved to open up this three million-acre tract

Ordinance of 1787 thatfor- set t l,:?ment .

rest1786.st,3.te

The land was retained by Connecticut when it surrendered theof its property in the Northwest Territory to the Union in

The reserve was settled primarily by people from that seaboardgiving it a distinct New England flavor.

The Ohio Western Reserve tract~ believed to encompass aboutthree million acres~ was mapped out into townships six miles square,with sections one mile square. Under the Ordinance of 1787, fivehundred acres were set aside for use by churches and five hundredacres for schools~ as a part of the township plan. The Western-mostpart was set aside as compensation for Connecticut citizens whosetm·ms were burned by the British, and \flaSknown as the "Fireland".

The Ordinance of 1787 served as a foundation for what becameour Constitution. It was a forerunner in ass~rting basic values,which we in America hold dear. The settlers enjoyed the rights offree speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press enunciatedby a formal governing document.

On July 10~ 1800~ the whole tract of the Western Reserve waserected into a county, by proclamation of Governor St. Clair of the1'·.lorth\fJes.t.Terri tory. It. was named "Trumbull" for the then Governorof Connect.icut, Jonathan Trumbull. The Territ6ry extended North toLake E~ie; West int.o Geauga and Portage Counties; East to the borderline Pennsylvania; and South into Columbiana County. The firstcounty seat was located at the town of Warren.

The Methodist Church was generally the pioneer denomination andwas particularly successful in founding churches in the WesternReserve~ after circuit riding, a practice originated by John Wesley,proved well-suited to the American frontier. But~ in this part ofthe Reserve it was sometimes preceded by the Presbyterians and Congre-gationalists. Itinerant preachers, at first laymen, rode theirdistricts visiting in succession a large number of settlementsscattered over a wide area of the sparsely settled country. Sabbathbreaking, rowdyism~ gambling, swearing, fighting lawlessness werecommon conditions with which they dealt.

Many of the earlyin the Revolutionaryduring the war.

settlers who came to the Reserve were soldiersWar or were people who lost their property

of the more famous settlers was William Holmes McGuffey. Heschool in Warren, but didn't stay long. After he left, he

his famous "McGuffey Reader". He became famous even though his~'-lerebor ing.

"Old Henry CLAY's grandsons were soldiers, three for theUnion, four for the Confederacy."

"Stonewall JACKSON was the symbol of Southern resistance,but his sister Laura, a Union sympathyzer, remained unshaken inher devotion for the Old Republic, and was applauded for her standby Federal soldiers. She sent a message by a Union soldier to theeffect that she could 'take care of wounded Federals as fast asbrother Thomas could wound them'."

"It was LINCOLN's law partner, John Todd STUART, who landeda West Point berth for a young soldier of promise, George E.PICKETT, whose name became so inseparably linked with Gettysburg."

"WITHIN THE BEND - STORIES OF WILCOX COUNTY"by Ouida Starr Woodson, P. O. Box 86, Camden, AL 36726.Soft cover. 49 pp., 8~ xlI. $12.00 p.p.

This book, first of a projected series of six on Wilcox County, Alabama,may seem small, but it is jam-packed with information and names, such as:the 1819 Cahaba Land Office Entry Records, 7 pages (I found 11 of my kin);an analysis of the 1820 Census; all the Wilcox Co. voters in the 1860Presidential Election, 8 pages sorted by "beat" or precinct (I found 8 ofmy kin); lists of river landings, Judges and Sheriffs, many personal storiesand much more. This is an area of Alabama I am somewhat acquainted withthrough four generations of research, but I learned much more from Mrs.Woodson.

Camden, the county seat of Wilcox Co., lies 38 miles south of Selma, near alarge bend of the beautiful Alabama River called Possum Bend. In the early1800's, many of the pioneer families of this area, including 6 or 7 of mine,came from the east - Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, etc. -and many of their descendants still reside throughout the county. Mrs.Woodson, as one of these, has a rich background to draw on as a local his-torian and genealogist.

If you have even a hint that any of your ancestors might have followed themigration trails westward, don't miss this series. Book Two will be outshortly.
