Horne's Drug Store building - The Wesley Center

The program (*OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) for the Genealogy Society will be on Sunday, April 24 at 2PM. But, the program will not be held at the First Methodist Great Hall. Instead it will be held at The Wesley Center. The Wesley Center is the former HORNE'S DRUG STORE BUILDING! How COOL is that! I am so excited!

April Adventures Continue - Sunday, April 24, 2016

Mt. Holly and Lisbon area

                April, 1979 - Sunday afternoon - Mother and Lou Rushing were driving home from the Mt. Holly area in Union County.They'd been tromping around in cemeteries and around the old Gordon home place, the Gordon Plantation, the Sue Gordon Estate. They were on a quest for James Jefferson Tooke's grave site. James Jefferson Tooke was Jane Elizabeth Tooke Gordon's father who traveled to Union County with Jane Elizabeth and Thomas Bullock Gordon.
                Mother and Lou were unsuccessful in their quest and to boot, they were accosted by wind and hail as a F3 tornado swept into the Camden area and exited through south Camden. Read that story at www.lemonpiesunshine.blogspot.com.

Siblings

Facebook or Hallmark created Siblings Day.

Celebrate:
Having someone other than yourself as the source of joy to your parents.
Having a wing man or wing girl during trouble.
Having someone operate as the perpetual little to your big.
Having someone function as the perpetual answer to your question.

And then one day, you are each other's best friend, strongest ally, best cheerleader.
One day, you grow up and know you are not alone in this world.

My mother and my uncle. (Margaret and Gordon)
