Good morning, Rose.
OK. It looks like it's official. Dwight Otwell has an article in this week's Cherokee Scout: Honoring 58,000 Lost Lives.

We didn't actually "feel" anything, but there was a "something"...then we heard a noise, at first we thought it was the heater making that noise (how could it be the heater, right? in the middle of summer?), but then we sort of "felt" it in the floo…
Congratulations, Rose!

Johnnie, another idea for you to ponder on....how about pictures of people in Murphy....Since I am doing my cemetery website (www.cemeterysurveysinc.org), people have sent me old people pictures of local Cherokee countians (is that a word?)

Hi rose - good to have you on the Murphy social site. You have A LOT of kids and grand-kids! lol. I enjoy photography too. You're welcome to join the local photography group on here.
