Kathy Harris: Drive Thru Chicken

8/26/2012

 

This week we welcome Kathy Harris to Author Memories.

Picture
Kathy Harris is an author by way of a "divine detour" into the Nashville entertainment business. After graduating with a degree in Communications from Southern Illinois University, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to work with a well-known gospel music quartet. Her transition to writer is way too interesting to squeeze in here, so I've added it below.
Kathy lives near Nashville with her husband and their two Shiloh Shepherd dogs.

Drive Thru Chicken
By Kathy Harris

Thanks to my dad’s love of storytelling, I have a greater appreciation for my roots. Ever since I can remember, he has loved telling tales. And now that he’s older, I hear more about the mischievous side of his younger days. 
 
When he grew up in the 1940s, life was a lot different than today. Conveniences were limited. “Fast food” meant leftovers. There were no McDonalds. No Wendy’s. No KFC. Like most rural Midwestern families after the Depression, my grandparents raised their children on the basics. Beans, potatoes and biscuits. They grew their own vegetables, picked berries and fruit from the yard, and raised their own meat. Beef was a special treat. They ate pork tenderloin only once a year at Thanksgiving, and fried chicken was reserved for Sundays and special  occasions.

Picture

Despite limited means, boys will find a way to be boys, and my dad always managed to drive a fast car. His first one, a jet black 1933 Ford Coupe, had a rumble seat and a beautiful leather interior. Although it was a decade old when he bought it, he loved that car, probably more than any new vehicle he purchased later in life. He tells a lot of stories about the fun he and his friends had in it. And, in fact, it was the car he had when he courted my mom—and she tells a few stories of her own.

Picture
Dad with his 1935 Ford coupe
Daddy’s ’33 Ford had a Flathead V-8 engine and would max out at about 80 mph.  Interestingly, the Fisher family, who lived around the corner, were often the benefactors of that horsepower. If you know anything about chickens, you know they usually wander out of their pens into the adjoining barn lot or yard. The Fishers’ house was built close to the smooth, shale rock road that ran in front of their house, and their chickens would often meander into the roadway.  As the story goes, those slow moving chickens had a hard time getting out of the way when my dad came flying over the hill.

Evidently that wasn’t such a bad thing. My dad found out a few years ago that the Fisher kids looked forward to seeing him coming up the road, because it usually meant they would be having fried chicken for supper that night.

Although the “drive-thru” hadn’t been invented in the 1940’s, thanks to my dad it was just around the corner for the Fisher family. Or, at least, that’s how the story goes.

THE ROAD TO MERCY by Kathy Harris,
Abingdon Press, Sep 2012

More about Kathy Harris:
Kathy Harris is an author by way of a "divine detour" into the Nashville entertainment business. After graduating with a Communications degree from Southern Illinois University, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to work with a well-known gospel music quartet. A few months later, The Oak Ridge Boys began their transition into country music, and Kathy had the opportunity to help build an entertainment empire from the ground up.

She worked her way to becoming a member of the Operations Management Team, eventually heading up the company's public relations and marketing department. A lifelong fascination for books and editing led to her working as a book agent for Oak Ridge Boys' vocalist Joe Bonsall. Joe subsequently published four books, including his bestselling inspirational
biography, G.I. Joe & Lillie.

For several years, Kathy freelanced entertainer biographies and wrote, as well as ghost wrote, news stories and columns for various music publications. In 2007, she sold her first Christian non-fiction story, "Walk on Water," which was included in Thomas Nelson's All My Bad Habits I Learned from Grandpa. That fall, one of her devotions was included in The One Year Life Verse Devotional, published by Tyndale House. Kathy's writing is also included in Chicken Soup for the Soul Thanks, Mom.

1911 Courtship: Feb 24, Dear Ethel

8/20/2012

 
We're still in the first month of Noah and Ethel's courtship and this week it's Noah's turn to write. However, there's a problem... I only have page one of Noah's letter. I've searched every paper and corner of Ethel's box of treasures and can't find a page 2 anywhere. It crossed my mind not to post this letter, but since Noah is on his way from Ontario back home to Saskatchewan since the courtship started, I felt it was important to let you know in his own words how he's doing.

Author of Letter: Noah Clement Draper b1887
Dated:  February 24, 1911
Addressed to: Miss E. Nelson, Bellhaven, Ontario b1890
Mailed from:  Regina, Saskatchewan
Relationship: Courting
Profession: Farmer
Writing  instrument: Fine point pen, Black ink
Written on: 8 1/2" x  11" thin paper bearing the leaderhead of the Alexandra of Regina, Saskatchewan which proclaims:
First Class Accomodation for the Travelling Public
Heated by Steam and Lighted by Electricity
Return Call Electric Bell System

Mentioned in the letter: 
- Uncle Stephen (Stephen Draper in North Gwillimbury?)
- Uncle Frank (George Franklin Terry in North Gwillimbury?)
- Irean/Irene in Toronto ?
- Flora and Herbert in Toronto ?
Picture
Regina, Sask. Feb. 24 1911
Miss, E. Nelson,
Belhaven, Ont.
Dear Ethel;-
     Well Ethel it is a week today since I bid
you good bye. & it seems like a month. Got over
to Uncle Stephens in time for tea & was there untill
eight oclock Saturday morning, then I went over
to Uncle Franks and caught the one oclock car* to
Toronto. Was in Toronto untill 8 am. Monday was down
to the Princess* Saturaday night, with Irean had
a good time, Sunday I was over to Floras & Herberts
had a fine time, Then Monday Morning caught
the train for Chicago got in there about 15 to ten &
left at 10:15 for St Paul. got there about 10 a.m. and
was in the city untill 5 p.m. I saw all the sights, Ha. Ha.)
Caught train for Winnipeg & got there at 8.45 a.m. was
down through Eatons & then caught train for Regina
at 10.25. Winnipeg is a fine city and is growing very
fast building permits for 1911 will amount to over
eighteen million dollars what do you think of that
for one years growth.
     Got in Regina at 11.45 Last night & went right
to bed & I can tell you I was glad of the chance
for I can not sleep very well on the train

And that's it...however, this letter mentions 2 things I've marked with an asterisk * that I'd like to comment on:
* the Princess - The Princess Theatre on King Street - known simply as The Princess - hosted many celebrated entertainers in its time.

*the car - the Toronto and York Radial Railway ran a streetcar from Toronto north through Newmarket (15 miles away) and then Keswick, and up to Sutton. Belhaven is north of Keswick.

Genealogy Notes

Noah has taken the southern route through the U.S. to get from Belhaven to Regina:

Picture
Why did Noah take the southern route when the Transcontinental Railway across Canada had been opened since 1885? From his letter, Noah sounds like a tourist who's never travelled to Chicago or St. Paul which implies this wasn't his normal route. Was this the shorter route because of the rocky and muskeg Canadian Shield geography which makes up most of Northwestern Ontario? Or was there another reason?
 
We are still researching the names mentioned in this letter. Hopefully, Ethel's response will give more information on them.

However, the next 1911 Courtship letter is dated Feb 27th and is another one from Noah to Ethel. Stay tuned...

Ruth Axtell: Graveyard Treasures

8/12/2012

 

This week we welcome Ruth Axtell to Author Memories.

Picture
Ruth Axtell has loved stories set in the 19th century ever since she read Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and other 19th century classics in junior and senior  school. Like many romance writers, Ruth decided to write her own in order to read the kind of story she liked best. Ruth has published 13 historical romances under the name Ruth Axtell Morren. 
Currently, Ruth lives on the downeast coast of Maine with her three children and two rescue cats. She enjoys the challenge of vegetable and flower gardening in a cool, foggy climate, long
walks along the Maine coast, reading, watching British period dramas like Downton Abbey, and doing historical research for her novels.
   


Graveyard Treasures
by Ruth Axtell

Names and family histories are interesting things. Here in New England, we have some pretty old gravestones in the local cemetery. It’s a shame to see many of the stones falling over after each winter. Many are covered in lichen, the inscriptions so worn they are hardly legible. 
Picture

But it’s a great place to find historical names when one is writing about the area in the 1800s. For one of my first published books, Wild Rose, I found my heroine’s name, Geneva, off one of these gravestones. I pretended it was short for Genevieve. 
Picture

This past spring, my father died at the ripe old age of 100. My brother and I had not been to the family plot in Connecticut since we were teenagers, so we hardly even knew where it was. But when we went there for the funeral, I was fascinated to read the names of my father’s forefathers on his mother’s side: Hopsons, Cornwalls and Hubbells—all solid English names.
 
On my next trip I visited another family plot where my grandfather’s side of the family is buried. These were Pattersons (a surname I used in Wild Rose, making my heroine Geneva
Patterson).
 
Here in this part of Maine, there are some names that hark back to the founding of this village back in the 1700s: Cates, Maker, Ackley, Corbett are some of the surnames that appear on many gravestones.

Many times a man had both his wives listed, so you could tell he’d been widowed. Others had a few lines of verse denoting their sadness in their departed loved ones but hopes for an eventual reunion in Heaven and rest from their earthly toils.
Picture
Headstone Verses, photo by Ruth Axtell
Asleep in Jesus!  Blessed sleep, 
From which none ever wake to weep! 
A calm and undisturbed repose, 
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Many of the tombstones not only listed the age of the departed one in years, but in years, months and days! I was amazed to see two who had died in the 1830s who’d lived to 90 and another to 86. There must have been something in the water! More common were deaths in people’s twenties, thirties, or sixties (in the mid-1800s). Some were children’s gravestones.
Picture

It’s fascinating to think about these many lives before us. People who walked these same roads (rutted horse tracks back then, I’m sure) or sailed the seas I see out my kitchen window. They must have been quite hardy and long suffering.
 
What are some of the thoughts old cemeteries and gravestone inscriptions invoke for you?

Her Good Name
Moody River North, Aug 2012

Picture
1890 - Maine 
In the 1890 thriving coastal town of Holliston, Maine, the leading lumber baron's son, Warren Brentwood, III, returns from his years away at college and traveling to take up his position as heir apparent to his father's business empire. 
 
Esperanza Estrada is the daughter of a Portuguese
immigrant fisherman who has grown up surrounded by a brood of brothers and sisters and a careworn mother. Unable to pretend she is anything but "one of those Estradas," Espy has no chance with Warren, no matter how striking she is. When she overhears of a position to clean house at a local professor's home on Elm Street, she jumps at the opportunity, hoping to be able to run into Warren Brentwood now and again as well as to imbibe the cultural and intellectual atmosphere of the Stocktons.

When rumors about Espy and this respected, married gentleman of the community begin to circulate, the entire church congregation and then the community pronounce judgment on her behavior. The man Espy is in love with, Warren, believes the lie and his loss of faith in her  causes Espy to give up without a fight. She leaves her family and hometown for the nearest city with little money and no acquaintances and is forced to spend the night on the street. A man who heads a mission for the homeless finds Espy and offers her shelter. Espy finds the true love of God while working at the mission. Will she be able to forgive the townspeople and return home?

Sample Excerpt

More about Ruth:
It was a long road to publishing, a journey as much spiritual as dependent on learning the craft of writing. Ruth studied comparative literature at Smith College with a concentration in French and English literature, and spent her junior year in Paris. After college, she spent a year in the Canary Islands as an au pair. Shortly after coming back to the U.S., she committed her life to Christ. Fourteen years later, she committed her writing to Him. Since then she has lived in the Netherlands and on the coast of Maine.

She was a Golden Heart finalist in 1994. Her second published book, Wild Rose, was a  Booklist “Top Ten Christian Fiction” selection in 2005. Her books have been translated into Dutch, Italian, Polish, Czech and Afrikaans. She is a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), RWA (Romance Writers of America) and its local Maine chapter. 

Her Good Name, a historical romance set on the 1890s Maine coast, from River North/Moody Publishers will be her first book under Ruth Axtell. In March 2013, Moonlight Masquerade, a regency romance set in London, will be out with Baker/Revell Books.

1911 Courtship: Feb 19, Dear Noah

8/5/2012

 
After a 2 week hiatus while I travelled by plane and train to a writing conference in California,  I'm returning to the 1911 Courtship of Ethel Nelson and Noah Draper. This week's post follows the first letter posted on  1911 Courtship: Feb 4, Dear Ethel.

Profession:  Farmer's Daughter 
Writing  instrument: Fine point pen, Black ink, 
Written on: slightly thick, textured linen-like paper, 9 inches x 6.5 inches,  folded
Mentioned in the letter:

- Sadie and Christie (Ethel's 2 younger sisters)

Picture
Belhaven, Feb 19th, 1911.
Mr N. Clement Draper.
Grand Coulee, Sask.

My Dear Noah. ----
                    Well, I suppose you are
on your way home by this time.
and rejoicing to think you will soon
be home once more. Hope your mother
won't think we have made you
worse than you really were. ha ha.
Although I would'nt care if she
were to send you back East again.
                    Did you have to walk
all the way over to your Uncle
Frank's! I guess you would be ready
for your nights rest when you got there.
Suppose Mrs Perrault give you a
piece of her mind not going over
the night befor. 
Picture

Well I hope you got home safe,
and that you were not delayed
in anyway.
     Ma has not come home yet.
Sadie and Christie have gone to
Sunday School. I am staying
home to keep Pa company. (I'm not
much company Just now I guess)
To day is his birthday.
     I have'nt saw Mr Perraults
since you left. Suppose they
have left these parts too.
     Sadie said to tell you next
time you came, she wanted
to say good-bye when you
went away.
to teach. *
*to teach - continues a sentence from page 3  when the notepaper is fully opened.
Picture

     Sadie said she looked for
you on the car Friday morning.
Suppose while I am writing
you are riding on the train.
and I believe you have the
best to do. It would not be
so lonesome. Did you meet
with anyone on the train that
you were acquainted with?
     Willie Sedore is to be
married a week from next
Wednesday. What do you think
about it?
     I think we will be going
up to church tonight. I don't know
who will preach.
     Sadie had a card from
Veda. Veda says she is to go West
*to teach
*to teach is actually written on bottom of Page 2
Picture
4.
     Well Noah you said you were
a poor letter writer, but I
think I am no better. anyway it
will let you know I am
thinking of you. My thots for
you are not only while I am
writing, but all the time.
     I'll be patient to write and to
wait until the time comes
when we won't have to
write. And now I think I will
have to say Good-Bye, and take
a walk down to Mr Young's after
S. School is out. And Noah you
write,
          Love from Ethel.

Ethel Nelson
          Belhaven,
                   
Ont.

So, did you get that hint on page 3 when Ethel mentions that Willie Sedore is getting married and asks Noah what he thinks about it? If I didn't know they were courting already, that question would have shown her intentions, for sure. Ha ha. As it is, page 4 clearly shows her affection for Noah and her wish that they could be together. 

The next courtship letter between Ethel and Noah will be dated Feb 24th and will be posted in 2 weeks - after a post and giveaway by historical author, Ruth Axtell.

Genealogy notes:
Do you recall the letter to Ethel from the mysterious Norah Donalda in 1910: A Letter From Norah Donalda?  Well just a couple days ago - 4 wks after the post was published - I received a very brief comment from the grandson of Nora Donalda. Perhaps I'll discover who the people are in Nora's letter now. What a blessing!
