NW Okie's Journey

I recently connected to the person who bought the "Old Sam L. Lindsay place," 5 miles south of Monterey, Virginia. The reason this connection is important to me is because Sam Lindsay married my great grandmother's sister's daughter, Lucy Eckard. Let's see if I can make this family connection a bit clearer. My Great-Grandmother, Signora Belle Gwin, had an older sister, Rhuhama "Hami" Gwin, that married Jacob "Job" Eckard. Rhuhama and Job Eckard had a daughter Lucy (1883-1946) who married Sam L. Lindsay. Lucy was my first cousin twice removed.

100 Years Ago 23 September 1914, Wednesday

One hundred years ago, 23 September 1914, Wednesday, The Times Dispatch front page headlines read: State-Wide Prohibition Wins Decisive Victory In Virginia. Richmond voted for local option by small margin. Total vote cast was largest in many years. Out of 10,293 ballots, 6,239 were against and 4,054 for Prohibition. The day at the polls was quiet, and no disorder had been reported.

1890 Capital Almanac

I received from a Monterey, Virginia connection some treasures that belonged to my cousin twice removed, Lucy (Eckard) Lindsay (1883-1946): a few old postcards written to Lucy Eckard, dating back to 1910; a court record showing Sam L. Lindsay appointed as administrator of Lucy Eckard Lindsay's estate (27th April 1946, Highland county, Virginia); and couple of Capital Almanac 1889 and 1890. Both of the Almanacs were given to Lucy Eckard by her father, Jacob "Job" Eckard.

1890 Capital Almanac - Odd Measurements

In the 1890 Capital Almanac we found these interesting little tidbits of information, on page 32, concerning "Odd Measurements." They consisted of a dicker, ditto, tod, firkin, pipe and measuring cisterns (round and square).
