Clear. Very cool all day. We all went to church. Had Mr. John Zion for preacher. I went to Rest home with the church for services this eve. Reba, Francis, Bob & boys were in awhile. Allso Stephen & Justin Reasor.
Footnote by Pat: I don't know much about all the preachers they had at the Deep Springs Baptist Church over the years. Not sure where the Rest home was but probably in Dryden - about 7 miles west. Reba is her sister-in-law who lives nearby. Francis was raised by Reba. They lived in Olinger, Va. (same place as Edythe Lindner was raised) Francis is married to Bob and they have two or three boys ( I never actually knew her children). Reba is now deceased and Francis lives in Kingsport. I think Bob is deceased also. Stephen is her nephew - oldest son of Everette, her brother. Justin is Stephen's son.
Just a note about Edythe Lindner - she came to Cincinnati after she finished high school at Pennington Gap (class mate of Aunt Virginia Shuler) and started working in an ice cream store. The story is that she had an older brother who lived in Cincinnati already. She meets and marries the man who owned the ice cream store - now known as United Dairy Farmers (best ice cream in town still). His name is Carl Lindner and he goes on to become one of the richest men in the country . Owned Chiquita, Cincinnati Reds at one time, Great American Insurance, United Dairy Farmers and many other things I'm sure. Great American Ins. just built the tallest building in downtown Cincinnati. Carl passed away last year and he drove his Rolls Royce right to the end. The family has given millions to the city for many different causes , building a huge Tennis Center and hospital wings. Many things in the city bear the name Lindner. Edythe is known for the landscape gardens around the huge Baptist Church she belongs to. Story is that she arrived by private jet for her high school reunion in Pennington Gap - don't know where the plane landed?
