Hi Everybody:
I love history...especially early American History and Civil War
history. John Douglas prompted the question "why was Dalton built on
a hill?" Well, I never found that out, but I did some searching on
the internet and found some interesting stuff!
So I added a file to the Yahoo site. If you like history, check it
out, if you don't - have a nice day and disregard it.
Check out familiar names to us listed...Goudy/Gaudy, Eckard to name a
few. Maybe your long lost relative is listed. Told Keith Goudy
about what I found as I met with him, his sweet wife, Sharon, and
Nancy Withrich/Davis at Nancy's home yesterday. We had a wonderful
time remembering all our school days and Dalton memories! Thanks
again, Nancy, for hosting.
Civil War Fact thats listed about Wayne County...Fort Sumter was
fired on April 12, 1861. Within 4 days, a wild crowd met at the
Wayne County Courthouse and by April 21, 1861 (9 days later) they had
their first solders on the way!
Remember I have a tough time down here in "Confederate Land"
sometimes and they don't hold dear as we do, our great President
Lincoln! Just a Memorial Day thought!
Have a great Memorial/Decoration Day!
Linda Fahrney/Freeland
