Sat. 1981 Fair hot.
I cooked, cleaned the house. We rode up to Seminary and around the back road. Stopped at Hargus Ely.
Footnote: Seminary is a small village about 6 miles from her house. They had a school at one time, the only school my Daddy, Roy Shuler, went to. He finished the 8th grade and then went to work on the farm. They have a nice Methodist Church. My granddaddy, Hugh Shuler was a very tive member of that church. My grandmother, Mamie (Emily) Shuler never got to go to church and she always said it was because she had to have Sunday dinner ready when he got home from church. I was lucky enough to be part of those Sunday dinners many times and I can tell you, she could cook that chicken that she raised. She made delicious dumplings and she always put the cooked yoke of the egg in the dumpling gravy. Oh that was so good. Hargus Ely is her brother-in-law and I'm not sure where he lived at that time.
Another thing I remember about Seminary - there is a beautiful cemetery that is somewhere between Seminary and Olinger and C. Bascom Slemp is buried there. A couple of years ago, I took Mother around that back road as I was looking for the cemetery that my great-grandfather, John Shuler, was buried in. I found it and it is the same one that C. Bascom is in. He has a huge monument with lots of things on it. I couldn't get in the cemetery as the gates were locked but I walked all around the outside.
Also. there was a young girl waiting for the school bus to Dryden school and she was standing in front of the Seminary school near the highway. She was struck by a beer truck and was killed. I cannot remember her name right now. I remember it was a terrible tragedy as she was my age at the time - 14 or 15 I think. I'm sure Janice and Rosemary will remember that terrible accident.
