ed one that she had just
finished. Hie quilt was made
of 2"x6" rectangular pieces.
She admits her hearing is not

hearing aid is not working
very good, but I am going to
get a new one soon."
Her sense of humor has not
dulled one whit with the
passing years Her brow n eyes
sparkled as she told this story
on herself.
"One time Harold Ahalt tan
employee of Logan's watched
me catch a frying chicken to
cook for supper. I had to run it
down to catch it because we
didn't keep them in a pen. He
told me that I was the only
woman he knew that could run
a chicken down. I had to
correct him. I told him that I
could run down two chickens.
Then I look in after the second
one One was never enough for
the crew. I alw ays had to have
two."
During the 1950s and '60s
there were several small
children in the Cecil area. A
highlight of the year for them
was Halloween, because Mrs.
Rose would have a great store
of goodies when they called at
her house for tricks or treats.
Popcorn balls, cookies and
homemade candies would be
waiting for those brave
enough to pass by the mon
strous, scary, jack-O'lantern
she would set on the front yard
gate post.
Mrs. Rose said she didn't
mind having a birthday but
she wished she didn't have to
get older. Her main desire
now is to keep well so that she
can continue to look after "the
bovs."
