Looking Back

Louis and I went to Warsaw, Kentucky, Saturday, for Louis's 51st reunion.  I am still in amazement how God put us together and our back grounds are so similar.  Small town, family importance, town close by called Sparta, and love of country and family.   I  left for an hour from the reunion and went to the places that was so much apart of Louis's life.  The first picture is the home of Judge Ward Yager, Louis's grandfather. The second and third picture is the home of Harold Brown.  Named after her father and was the  best friend of Honey.  I went by to see her and she wasn't home.  She is as precious as Honey was. .She lives on the Ohio river in a beautiful old home.  The next picture is Louis's Great grandmother's home.   The tomb stone is Louis's name sake.  His   grandfather and grandmother.  They are buried in a beautiful cemetery in back of Louis and his Dad's church, St Joesph Catholic Church.   That is a picture of the church.  The next picture is Honey's church, The Christian Church. Louis's Great Grandfather, was pastor there.   The cemetery  is right in town, within walking distance of Louis's home place.  You will see the Gutting monument where Louis and I will be buried if I don't back out and go to Jones Hill!!!! Louis 's home is next with the court house  across the street where Judge Yager was Judge 33 years.  You will see a gray building were Nesbitt Spencer Gutting, Louis's father, had his grocery store.  (another similarity).  The square is so sweet and across the street from the grocery is a little park.  The Ohio River is directly behind the court house.  Then there is pictures of the reunion.  I found out so many special things about my husband.  He was precious with all his classmates and because he was President of his class he read a poem called Reunion,  that brought tears and laughter.  All in all it was a good day and I met people so it want be so hard to go out of state to be burried!!

Louis looks great; his wife is young an1d beautiful and does her homework! A defiant recipe for a successful week end. You two belong together. Even in Warsaw.

I love you both,

Merry

Do they belong to Warsaw Cemetery?
Judy made the folks aware that they
must visit the cemetery after she
is put there because she nows no
one. Reunions are so much fun.
