This 4th of July 2005 I learned a little more about my father's family. It seems that this is the original homestead. There is a well on this piece of "God's Little 8 1/2 Acres", and the first home of Perry and Celia. Over the years the land has been handed down to the children and sold. The only remaining piece is here and the current home of their daughter Dorothy (Fuller) Armagost. My Aunt Dorothy took care of her parents and lived in the house with her family until the fire that took my grandmother's life. After the fire they rebuilt the house and they live there still. The only two remaining properties still owned by a Fuller descendant. |

| We visited the cemetery on April 30th and Mary painted the flowers on the headstone. | |||

gentle reminders of my grandma and her love. |

August 24, 1897 The day Celia was born.
Googling that day you find bits of trivia. Like: Today is Weather Cliché Day, marking this date in 1897 when editor Charles Dudley Warner of the Hartford Courant published the sentence, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Many incorrectly attribute the quotation to Warner's close friend, Mark Twain. And famous events on August 24th 1932: Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly non-stop across the U.S., traveling from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, in just over 19 hours Celia was 35 on that day. I am sure she sat listening to the radio when they announced this awesome feat by a woman. She saw all the struggles women went through in her 93 years. She taught her girls and grand-daughters to be strong and there isn't anything you can't accomplish with hard work. She listened to Paul Harvey every day. April 1951 he started his show on the radio, broadcasting at noon with the rest of his story. He passed away Feb 28th 2009. Now he is telling the end of the story and I am sure she is listening. Happy Birthday Grandma. |
