1930 Jan 4 Mrs O. C. Dobbs
Mar 23 Nick Morris (Author Went to Jasper Hospital diagnosed
With prostrate cancer by Dr. Hollis of Winfield and that’s all he wrote. Said
he
was there 2 wks. He must have got back home unable to write. Don’t know when
he died. I was glad to bring his deaths up to 1930 as he hadn’t done that. I
guess
he hoped to live many more years much as people today do. I didn’t know the
last names of some of the ones he called by first names. He would have done
better
He lived up to the main entrance to the high speed auto ago. His wife and
daughter hade a ride to Berea Church in sons 2 door Ford Sedan. He had helped
paint a Ford truck or two and son had wrecked one truck. He had driven a
delivery truck for a company he worked for. Dr. Barsele was one of the dentists
back then. They didn’t patch teeth back then. If it got infected and hurting
the
remedy was to extract. Dentists were feared. Dr. Green Was another Dr. which I
don’t know what kind. He saw an airplane pass over. I saw one of the early
dare devil sort of planes fly at Winfield in cow pasture while at Winfield
High School. They flew upside down and every other way imaginable. A big cotton
mill was built in the pasture and it moved to a foreign country 10 or 20 years
ago. Nick attended all political rallies and elections. He was interested in
the school at Glen Allen, helped build it and upkeep , took census of students
that would attend. He and family went mainly to churches at Berea, Elam, and
Clover Hill. Went a few times to White’s Chapel, to New River, to
Hubbardville, to Glen Allen and to the black church above Bazemore. Many of the
times he would tell who was preaching. He hardly ever went many times to same
church before trying another one.
He and my grandpa’s brother Bird McCaleb visited at least once a week.I never
did figure out why. Bird didn’t work at toiling or do any for Nick. Nick must
have gone for advice or to sell Bird something like making out mortgages for
him. Bird’s children helped Nick pick cotton and do other things. A. C.
Alfred McCaleb later lived somewhere near Nick
Cotton sold for 5 1/2 c per lb in 1909, 7c lb 1914, 12C 1912, up to about 20c
1918, up a little in 1920 and down to about 5c in depression days of 30s. It
has been above 60c per lb in the 1990s and later. Sort of slumps very badly
with depressions.
Nick stripped cane, made molasses, pulled fodder, gathered corn and picked
cotton in the fall until the last years of his life. Early in the spring he
broke up land the old fashioned way with mules and turning plows. Women and
children hoed millet, corn, cotton and garden. They also fed mules, slopped the
hogs, milked cows. Nick got to where he helped his wife wash the clothes in his
last. His wife seemed to go places to visit on her own.
I will try to mention some of the places he went to store and to mill. They were
Hollingsworth store, William Ervins shop to help make coffins, to stave mill in
Glen Allen to work and hauled strips for wood, to gin in Glen Allen, Beasley
store, Raspberry sawmill, Curt Hubbards, to corn grinding mill in Glen Allen or
Bazemore, Tilly sawmill, Tom Perry mill, Kelly multiple mills in Bazemore and to
Winfield many times.
Nick’s house seemed to be open to all that wished to visit, especially his
children, to William Ervin, Bird McCaleb and children, politicians, and
seemingly to all. No one goes much further than the TV set today. He was
willing to help most anyone in trouble, to make a coffin or dig a grave. He was
a center of news and complained of being too sick to work many times in thee 15s
and 20s. He helped repair phone lines, put in phones, went to Winfield for
batteries, put in relay stations, dig well at Berea, repaired church benches,
hauled many loads of wood by mule and wagon and at last strips by truck, took
cane to molasses maker, helped with Kelly school, to U. S. court in Bham. For 3
weeks out of one month, talked about a big whiskey still raid at Austin
McDonalds and the agent accidentally wounding self with gun and no trial, WW1
registration and hostilities ceasing, split boards and repaired roof on own
house and outbuildings, attended most all elections, worked on road maps,
watched boys cut bee tree for honey, saw the 1920 census enumerator, moved for
about a month to near Jasper and worked in store, and then came back, worked in
stores in Glen Allen & Bazemore, adjusted and cleaned gin saws and gristmill
rocks, family reunion at Glen Allen, tick eradication law, half soled shoes,
helped eat a possum, said what weather was most every day, told about dry
spells, about a railway boiler explosion, about wife Bip’s nearly a month
trip to Texas, about Virgil Whitehead moving to Neddleton,Ms. And Virgil coming
back to visit and Nick going to Ms. To visit one other and Virgil, to all day
singings at different churches and at Curt Hubbards, about his wife selling
about 40 acres of land for 25 dollars and 2 years to pay, about big protracted
meetings and how many saved, about peddler Sprinkle, about hanging of Harry
Mark of Fayette, about writing Senator John B Bankhaed and brother
Reprasentative William Bankhead big congressmen in his late years and my
early time, about son in law Dock and Jenny Hollings leaving for Ark. Oct. 7,
1925 and 1927 Jennie back for a while, then Nick and wife went to visit Ark.
For about a month and there seemed to be no bad feelings toward each. They had
been faithful to visit all through the years. Nick seemed to hold no bad
feelings against anyone. He was just too busy most of the time. There were 2 or
3 places where he seemed to be referring to my grandpa McCaleb. After 1927
Cover Hill was moved to about a ½ mile away and is now Tidwell Chapel and
White’s Chapel started by Jerry White. There seemed to have been no argument.
Some of this data is not done too well but it’s my best at 92 years old. I
salute Nick Morris for telling what it was like in first part of 20th century.

Unhappy Americans
submitted by Fred
"The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I
found rather hard to believe. It must be true, given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the
direction the country is headed, and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with
the performance of the President. In essence, 2/3's of the citizenry just
ain't happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What are we so unhappy
about?''
Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and
heating in the winter?
Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time, and see more
food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean
without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?
Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way
that can provide temporary shelter?
I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the
world is just not good enough.
Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and
provide services to help all, and even send a helicopter to take you to the
hospital.
Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be
upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained
firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish
the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.
Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or
prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will
come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and
pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell
phones and computers.
How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that
are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, overfed, spoiled brats the
world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great
disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people
in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we
hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the President who took us into war and has no plan to
get us out? The President who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this
the same President who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The
President that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be
the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in
keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?
The Commander-In Chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you
and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did
this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look
around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?
Think about it...are you upset at the President because he actually caused you
personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your
sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to
serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no
draft in this country. They didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an
''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable''
discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds, it leads; and
they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and
guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows
this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells , and
when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or
another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write
a book about "how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it
this way"...Insane!
Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV,
burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.
Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially
more good than bad.
We are among the most blessed people on Earth, and should thank God several
times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.

Seventy Five Years +
Submitted by
Fred McCaleb
What A Difference 75 Years Can Make!
A sure sign that you're getting "up there" is that you can remember back
when things were different . . . A LOT Different!
Consider some of the changes that we have witnessed!!!
We were born before the PILL and the population explosion.
We were born before TV, penicillin, polio shots, antibiotics, frisbees,
frozen food, nylon, dacron, Xerox and contact lenses.
We were before radar, flourescent lights, credit cards, split atoms,
laser beams, and ball-point pens.
For us, time-sharing meant togetherness ... not computers or condominiums.
A "chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hardware, and software
wasn't even a word!
In our time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of," and being
gay meant you were happy and carefree.
In those days, bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were not Volkswagons.
We were before Batman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Snoopy.
We were before DDT, vitamin pills, disposable diapers, Jeeps, and the Jefferson
nickel.
We preceded Scotch Tape, the Grand Coulee Dam, M&M's, automatic
transmissions, and Lincoln Continentals.
When we were in school ... pizzas, Cheerios, frozen orange juice, instant
coffee and McDonald's were unheard of. We thought fast food was what you
ate during Lent and Outer Space was the back of the Riviera Theater.
We never heard of FM radio, tape recorders, electric typewriters, word
processors, electronic music, digital clocks, artificial hearts and guys
wearing earrings.
We were before pantyhose and drip-dry clothes, ice makers, dishwashers,
clothes dryers, freezers, electric blankets, air conditioners and before
Hawaii and Alaska became states.
We were before yogurt, Ann Landers, plastics, hair spray, the forty-hour
week and the minimum wage and before man walked on the moon.
We got married first ...and then lived together afterward. How quaint
can you be?
In our day, cigarette smoking was fashionable, "grass" was mowed, "coke"
was something you drank, "pot" was something you cooked in, "rock music" was
a grandmother's lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the Principal's office.
We were before coin-operated vending machines, jet planes, helicopters,
and interstate highways. "Made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making
out" referred to how you did on your exam.
We were before house-husbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers,
and computer marriages. We were also before day-care centers, group therapy
and nursing homes.
We had fountain pens with bottles of real ink. We had stockings made of
real silk with seams up the back that were never straight. We had saddle
shoes and cars with rumble seats. We had corner ice-cream parlors with
little tables and wire-back chairs where we had a choice of three flavors.
We hit the scene when there were 5-cent and 10-cent stores where you
bought things for five and ten cents. You could buy ice cream cones for a
nickel or a dime.
For one nickel you could ride a street car, make a phone
call,buy a Pepsi, or enough stamps to mail one letter and two postcards.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600 ... but who could afford one? A
pity, too, because gas was only 11-cents a gallon.
We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes was
discovered, but we were surely before the sex change ... we made do with what
we had.
And we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you needed a
husband to have a baby! Can you imagine that?

Hallmark Postcard 1877
by
Fred McCaleb
Dear Brother,
In answer to your inquiry of family relations I will give you a few members. My
great grand father came from England. His name was George and grandfather was
named George Father’s name is James. I will give you the names of a few of
grandfather’s brothers names on the back side. Yours, W.H. Hallmark
On the other side of the card were listed these brothers and a sister of George
Hallmark Jr namely Tom (ours), Williiam, Jessie, John, Minet, Cummings,,
Richard, & sister Polly. So at least these and some more were the children of
George Hallmark Sr of England.
I listed part of James Washington Hallmarks children tnat were in the family
Bible on a
previous page. Here is a letter that was written to his sister Polly (Mrs.
Daniel Henderson) at Alto, Cherokee County, Texas by A.J. Hallmark.
Wetumpkia, Ala. Sept. 25, 1859 Dear Sister and Bros
I have just received yours, of the 9th inst I was truly glad to see it for it is
the first letter I have got from you since you left here. I wrote you three
letters and received no answer. Since you left here we have passed through
severe series of affliction. The tenth of October was a year ago our only
daughter Bettie died. She was just grown. Beautiful and intelligerit---wel1
educated. We had spent most all we made upon her, but its God knows what is
best and I try to submit to his providence. We have only two children. They are
boys, one about 15 and the other about 13 years of age both very well educated
good English scholars and now studying "Latin". I am getting along tolerable
well so as to live very comfortable. As you see I am living in Wetumpkia
keeping a large hotel, the principal one of the place, but I have been selling
goods most of the time since you left. Business is good here. Crops are
generally good. Well, you wanted to know where all the connections were in the
first place I could say that I am here all alone from connections. They are all
gone from this country but Claiborn he is still livinagCoosa. Fatherr living
louisaia up on Red River near a little place by the name of Montgomery, La,
near all of his wifes relations asc there too. Uricle Evans Gaskills family are
all living in Louisiana at a post office by the name of Rose Hill in Union
Parish except Sarrah. She married a man by the name of Williams and lives in
Memphis,. Tenn. Uncle Charles & Ryan and aII their family are out in Texas Some
where about the Basos River-there is but fear of the old settlers about
Sylacauga now all gone. My wifes motner and father are both dead.Wm. Bulgar is
preaching. He is at this time President of the Louisiana Conference of the
Protestant Church . He is married, he married very well. I was at Dr. Elisha
Wlilsons a few days ago he is livin g in Shell County near Wilsonville but is
now fixing to move West to Louisiana. Has a farm and some hands there now. I
saw aunt Sally. She looks well for her age. Several of their family are living
in Bibb about the same old places. Uncle John Cottingham and his family are
living in Lowndes Co of this state down below Montgomery –Have not seen any
of them for some time. Uncle Elisha and a part of his family are still living
in Bibb at the same old place that Grandfather used to live at. So you se we
are very much scattered and no probability that we will ever live so close
together again as we once did (all of us). My dear sister and brother and
family there is a place where we may all meet again that place is Heaven and by
the Grace of God I am determined to try and go there when I leave this world. I
hope you all enjoy religion, live so that at last we may meet in that Happ
World if we never see each other here. I would like to seel you still hope that

Dear Brother,
In answer to your inquiry of family relations I will give you a few members. My
great grand father came from England. His name was George and grandfather was
named George Father’s name is James. I will give you the names of a few of
grandfather’s brothers names on the back side. Yours, W.H. Hallmark
On the other side of the card were listed these brothers and a sister of George
Hallmark Jr namely Tom (ours), Williiam, Jessie, John, Minet, Cummings,,
Richard, & sister Polly. So at least these and some more were the children of
George Hallmark Sr of England.
I listed part of James Washington Hallmarks children tnat were in the family
Bible on a
previous page. Here is a letter that was written to his sister Polly (Mrs.
Daniel Henderson) at Alto, Cherokee County, Texas by A.J. Hallmark.
Wetumpkia, Ala. Sept. 25, 1859 Dear Sister and Bros
I have just received yours, of the 9th inst I was truly glad to see it for it is
the first letter I have got from you since you left here. I wrote you three
letters and received no answer. Since you left here we have passed through
severe series of affliction. The tenth of October was a year ago our only
daughter Bettie died. She was just grown. Beautiful and intelligerit---wel1
educated. We had spent most all we made upon her, but its God knows what is
best and I try to submit to his providence. We have only two children. They are
boys, one about 15 and the other about 13 years of age both very well educated
good English scholars and now studying "Latin". I am getting along tolerable
well so as to live very comfortable. As you see I am living in Wetumpkia
keeping a large hotel, the principal one of the place, but I have been selling
goods most of the time since you left. Business is good here. Crops are
generally good. Well, you wanted to know where all the connections were in the
first place I could say that I am here all alone from connections. They are all
gone from this country but Claiborn he is still livinagCoosa. Fatherr living
louisaia up on Red River near a little place by the name of Montgomery, La,
near all of his wifes relations asc there too. Uricle Evans Gaskills family are
all living in Louisiana at a post office by the name of Rose Hill in Union
Parish except Sarrah. She married a man by the name of Williams and lives in
Memphis,. Tenn. Uncle Charles & Ryan and aII their family are out in Texas Some
where about the Basos River-there is but fear of the old settlers about
Sylacauga now all gone. My wifes motner and father are both dead.Wm. Bulgar is
preaching. He is at this time President of the Louisiana Conference of the
Protestant Church . He is married, he married very well. I was at Dr. Elisha
Wlilsons a few days ago he is livin g in Shell County near Wilsonville but is
now fixing to move West to Louisiana. Has a farm and some hands there now. I
saw aunt Sally. She looks well for her age. Several of their family are living
in Bibb about the same old places. Uncle John Cottingham and his family are
living in Lowndes Co of this state down below Montgomery –Have not seen any
of them for some time. Uncle Elisha and a part of his family are still living
in Bibb at the same old place that Grandfather used to live at. So you se we
are very much scattered and no probability that we will ever live so close
together again as we once did (all of us). My dear sister and brother and
family there is a place where we may all meet again that place is Heaven and by
the Grace of God I am determined to try and go there when I leave this world. I
hope you all enjoy religion, live so that at last we may meet in that Happ
World if we never see each other here. I would like to seel you still hope that
I may. Jane and the boys send their loves,
Your brother,

Letter to Dr. Howell ll
Plastic Surgery, Dr. Howell II
Dear Sir,
All the cancer tests I have ever taken have turned out positive. The Dr. here in
Fayette gave me a PSA test for prostate and it registered 12 about 15 years ago
and said I better come in and get it treated before it killed me. I came in
and he sent me to Tuscaloosa and I got it tested and they said it was OK. He
tested 3 or 4 more times and it was always positive. And tried to send me
again. I didn’t go. Test worthless on me.
I year or two ago he tested a bump on face for skin cancer. I believed that test
and let him cut it out. Then there was a spot on head he tested. I went back for
treatment and he said wait and see what happens. Nothing happened.
I scratched a place and went to him again this year. He tested me for skin
cancer. I told him I didn’t need the test but he paid me no attention. The
place he tested was trying to bleed me to death that night and the nurse here
at Morningside assisted living called an ambulance to take me 1 ½ miles to
Fayette Hospital. Dr there got blood stopped with gauze and bandage around
head. The place healed up in about a week. It seems to be completely healed.
I have been waiting on younger sister to come and take to different Dr. and see
if I need operation. I am determined not to have it myself. If it kills me I
will just die happy and go on to the great beyond. I am 91 years old and have
lived mostly a long and happy life. Sorry If I have inconvenienced you. But I
am not coming unless someone drags me.
Yours Truly Fred McCaleb
My Daughter called this afternoon and said she would go by my decision.

Letter from Fred
Dear Clancy & Tom, Jean & Ardell,
I am lazy today and am making this letter cover more than one address. I hope no
one minds. You asked if I got over my skinned forehead in January. I did do
that. It seemed to heal faster than usual and the bad looks of it was gone in
about a week or little over. The Psychological effects of the fall are not
gone yet however. I have been fearful of walking for fear of falling again.
Seems I have just about got my courage back. Probably about ready for another
fall. It is bad to have to try to walk again. I never realized I would get in
the position of 2nd childhood.
My second eye operation turned out to be 20/30 vision. Not quite as good as the
first which turned out a perfect 20/20. I was a little disappointed in that. But
I shouldn’t complain since 20/30 was as good as I ever had before. The costs
of the 2 eye operations was approximately $10,000, $4000 for the doctors 40
minutes work, and $6000 for 4 hrs outpatient stay at the hospital. Somebody is
as great an expert stealing as Clinton’s expertise at lying. The 2nd eye was
a little red when you were here but cleared up OK. Clinton has done lyed twice
in last 2 wks, once about dope peddling from Mexico and once about bombing
Cosovo or whatever Yugoslav fighting is called. Trying to tell rest of world
what to do and its none of our business. Let them kill each other and settle
their troubles themselves.
Bettie is up in the world now. She got an 80th birthday card from Hillary and
Billary Clinton. Am sure she really has their sympahies. I got one from them 2
½ years ago. I saved it in my miscellaneous notebook and labeled it “from
the champion liar of the world”. How cruel to treat a beloved president that
way!
We have had 2 letters from Jean since her and Ardell went to Fla. to spend the
bad part of the winter. They’re down there eating oranges and grapefruit and
basking in the sun. Enjoying living in their mobile travel home whichever spot
they choose to live. Sound like aristocrats.
This is Tuesday and it has been cold here for a couple of days. 21 degrees
yesterday morning and 35 this morning and spit a little snow. Guess the
roughest part of winter is coming up. Pear trees are starting to bloom and
ready for som 10 degree weather to kill the blooms. Then after that the spring
tornado blow away.
I am on the internet now and my e mail address is n4eb@fayette.net. Got a
little genealogy about the daughter of 1st Hugh of Fayette County, Barbary
McCaleb Lauderdale. Got it from a girl in Ca. I may become addicted to this
internet mess. You can even find out what your latitude and longitude is.
Pretty well got one placed. I even find my own name on there in the
genealogical field. Billary knows all about you. Got your number.
Jean Ellen, Timm & Brooke are coming to see us March 20th. Grandson Bradley
Boswell is coming to see us by himself on his spring break Mar.7th. So I guess
we will have a little Company in March. Will be glad to see anyone that comes.
We are still taking aquatic exercise. I try to walk and do the equivalent of
about a mile of exercise on other days. Am not sure its worth anything. Have
arthritis of the neck and right arm. I guess this is enough of my complaints.
Hope everybody is well and will write me if they ever get time.
With love, from Fred McCaleb

Dear Clancy and Tom,
I got your nice letter today. I wish I could write one that good. As far as I
can tell you do a perfect job of writing letters. We were glad to have all of
you here, and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for all your nice comments.
You will be welcome to come here for another reunion next year if I am alive
and welcome to come visiting any time you wish.
I am trying to take Lucille’s advice and not talk of being old and disabled
but find it sort of hard to do. The general trend of my thinking has been to
assume that tomorrow will be just the same kind of day as today, but that is
somewhat false thinking. Tomorrow can bring most anything to one, good or bad.
I try not to worry much about the future and find absolutely no reason to worry
about the past. We have only today, and have to do the best we can with it.
We went to the genealogy society meeting in Winfield Monday night and to
Tuscaloosa Thursday morning. We ate lunch with some of the old ladies at
Tuscaloosa. I told one I hoped to make it to 2000. She said she didn’t know
if she wanted to make it that long or not. Said they would have the world in
such a mess by then that she didn’t know if she would want to be around. So
some people have my kind of young outlook or worse. Poor things. Ha!
I have been searching the other CD rom disks I have for our genealogy and have
found a few pages more.
I am about fed up with genealogy. Need to get my mind on something else. About
as far or further than anybody has ever got anyway, and its very hard to find
the ancestors of wives of husbands where their only last name is their
husband’s. I will just have to pat myself on the back and admit I have done
the best I could. Some of it may not be exactly right, but I will let others
prove the mistakes. I have put? marks in most all places where unsure.
Momma told me I might find something I didn’t want to know if I went too far
with the ancestors. She was right on that. I guess none of them have measured
up to being perfect as I might have expected, but one has to take them as they
were. There is no changing of the past. Momma might have meant I might find
something about daddy we didn’t want to know. Best I can find out he was at
least a better man after he got momma but not perfect. I haven’t found faults
with momma except she did some extra worrying that was probably unnecessary.
Their combination produced good children. We are proud to be who we are.
Dad’s favorite song was “Love Lifted Me.” He used to try to sing that
sometimes when we were plowing. He may have been lifted by momma’s love and
Christianity. Lets hope so.
Guess I had better quit rambling around in my thoughts and quit for this time.

Fort Hollingsworth-White House
Send to Fred McCaleb about his Ancestors
Fort Hollingsworth-White House is located in the community of
Hollingsworth, on Wynn Lake Road, about two miles off US Hwy
441 between Baldwin, Ga. and Homer, Ga.
Hollingsworth Fort was first shown on a map of the Defensive Plan
Western Frontier, Franklin County in 1793.
Georgia's boundaries in the 1700's can best be described as the
wild frontier. Between 1782 and 1797 various treaties were made
with the Indians to define Georgia's boundaries. Forts were built
to protect the settlers who lived on the frontier. Indians were
likely to be incited by misunderstandings. Horses and farm animals
were frequently stolen, and families had to be protected in fortress-
type buildings surrounded by wooden fences.
The first settlers of Franklin County whose lands granted by the
State of Georgia between 1783 and 1788 lay north of the Indian
Boundary fixed by the treaty of 1785. These lands were granted
under the impression that they lay south of the agreed Indian
boundary line. When this line was surveyed it was found that
these lands lay north of the boundary line and in the Cherokee
Nation, which demanded their removal.
William W. Wofford and Jacob Hollingsworth both moved from North
Carolina to Franklin Co., Ga. before l792. Wofford's fort appeared
on the map in 1792 and Hollingsworth's in 1793. This area was known
as Wofford's Settlement.
When Col. Wofford found out that their settlement was considered to
be in Indian territory after the line was surveyed, he along with
the other settlers in this area petitioned Georgia Governor James
Jackson to have the line re-run or to take such other action as
would protect them and the possessions of their homes.
Legend has it that he mounted his horse and rode to Washington to
talk with the authorities about his land holding in Georgia. This
resulted in the "Four Mile Purchase" of 1804 when the Indians ceded
a strip of land 4 miles wide (from the Habersham and Banks County
line on Baldwin Mountain to the Line Baptist Church on Hwy. 441)
and 23 miles long (extending from Curahee Mountain to the head waters
of the South Oconee River) which included the Wofford Settlement. It
was originally marked by a line of felled trees at least twenty feet
wide which became a sort of no man's land. The United States agreed
to pay the Cherokee Indians $5,000 and $1,000 per annum for the
property rights.
By about 1796 the Indian troubles were about over and the need for
the string of frontier forts was no longer pressing. The forts,
after the need for defense subsided, became log farmhouses.
The Wofford's and the Hollingsworth's traveled together to new
frontiers in the west using passports to travel through Indian
territory. As the years passed many of their descendants would
pack up their belongings, taking wives, children, slaves and
animals and move west, as genealogy records show. Fort Hollingsworth
was left on these vacant lands.
In Habersham County Inferior Court setting as a land court May
Term 1855, William B. Wofford, son of Nathaniel Wofford, grandson
of William W. Wofford, petitioned the court for a head right warrant
for vacant lands. He received a grant from the state on Oct. 2,
1855. He sold this property to Col. Robert McMillan on April 18,
1857. Fort Hollingsworth was on this property.
Col. Robert McMillan came from Ireland in 1831. He put his heart,
soul, and money into the Confederate cause and raised and commanded
the 24th Georgia Regiment. Although nearly sixty years old he was
noted for his bravery. When General Thomas R. R. Cobb fell, mortally
wounded at Fredricksburg, Col. McMillan was placed in temporary
command and would have been made Brigadier-General but his health
failed and he came home to die.
On March 1, 1861, Robert McMillan sold the property to John Lane.
He had owned the property little more than a month when the Civil
war started. He went off to the war, Co. D-43 Regiment-Ga.
Volunteer Infantry-Army of Tenn. CSA-"Middle River Volunteers",
and never returned. He was shot by his own men as he returned
from getting water from a spring in Tennessee. Until this day
no one knows where he is buried. He was killed in the summer of
1862. He never got to live in the house, in life, but his ghost
still haunts the place. He has been seen by those who have lived
in the house and they all describe him in the same way, a somber
face and dressed in clothing of the 1860's. Canon blasts are
heard occasionally that rattles the windows. His property was
divided among sisters.
On December 9, 1862, Joshua White bought the "Upper Leather Tract",
from the John Lane estate, and he and Katharine Lane White made the
fort their home. They built the addition to the two story single
pen that had been the fort and made it look like any other farm
house of the mid 1800's. The addition was linked to the original
structure by a covered walkway, known as a dogtrot. Dogtrots
allowed the inhabitants to work outside in pleasant weather and
protected the entire house from burning if one side caught on fire.
The air flow through the dogtrot helped to cool the house in the summer.
The old wagon road ran through the yard of the fort, past the barn,
down through the fields and across Mountain Creek. It continued on
to the old Hollingsworth Store (which was across the road from where
Irvin's Store now stands) and crossed US Hwy 441 near Harmony Church
and continued on to the Wofford Fort on Broad River. It is still
visible today, in places.
Water was always a problem on the site. Several wells were dug
but had to be filled in because of caving. Water was carried
from a spring located southwest of the house. Water flowed into
a stone bowl just deep enough for a bucket.
Also, located near this spring was a wash place. Laundry was carried
from the house to the water instead of carrying the water to the house.
Across the branch from this wash place was a hole in the bank that
contained pure white clay. It was called the white mud hole.
This white clay was used to polish the fire-places during spring
cleaning. It was also used for the chinking between the logs in
the fort.
Near the spring was an Indian ceremonial ground. This area was de-
stroyed in the 1930's when timber was cut and dragged across the site.
March 21, 1903 - The Fort-White House was passed to the children of
Joshua & Katharine Lane White.
The Hollingsworth Fort/White House looks very much today like it
did in the 1860's. Beacher White who acquired the house in 1936
knew the historical value of the fort and would not allow it to be
painted or changed much. He wanted to preserve it as much as possible.
Due to beacher White's foresight, it is still possible to see the
tiny window in the side of the house which was used to watch for
Indians, the original fireplace mantels, and the 18 inch baseboards.
It is very easy to imagine what life must have been like in those
early days of Georgia.
In 1980 the Fort/White House was passed to Beacher & Mellie Segars
White's children. They too recognize the historical value of this
property and wish to share it with the public. Efforts are currently
underway to restore the Fort/White House. The Friends of the Fort
organization has been formed to manage the house and its preservation.
Fort Hollingsworth-White House is located in the community of
Hollingsworth, on Wynn Lake Road, about two miles off US Hwy
441 between Baldwin, Ga. and Homer, Ga.
Hollingsworth Fort was first shown on a map of the Defensive Plan
Western Frontier, Franklin County in 1793.
Georgia's boundaries in the 1700's can best be described as the
wild frontier. Between 1782 and 1797 various treaties were made
with the Indians to define Georgia's boundaries. Forts were built
to protect the settlers who lived on the frontier. Indians were
likely to be incited by misunderstandings. Horses and farm animals
were frequently stolen, and families had to be protected in fortress-
type buildings surrounded by wooden fences.
The first settlers of Franklin County whose lands granted by the
State of Georgia between 1783 and 1788 lay north of the Indian
Boundary fixed by the treaty of 1785. These lands were granted
under the impression that they lay south of the agreed Indian
boundary line. When this line was surveyed it was found that
these lands lay north of the boundary line and in the Cherokee
Nation, which demanded their removal.
William W. Wofford and Jacob Hollingsworth both moved from North
Carolina to Franklin Co., Ga. before l792. Wofford's fort appeared
on the map in 1792 and Hollingsworth's in 1793. This area was known
as Wofford's Settlement.
When Col. Wofford found out that their settlement was considered to
be in Indian territory after the line was surveyed, he along with
the other settlers in this area petitioned Georgia Governor James
Jackson to have the line re-run or to take such other action as
would protect them and the possessions of their homes.
Legend has it that he mounted his horse and rode to Washington to
talk with the authorities about his land holding in Georgia. This
resulted in the "Four Mile Purchase" of 1804 when the Indians ceded
a strip of land 4 miles wide (from the Habersham and Banks County
line on Baldwin Mountain to the Line Baptist Church on Hwy. 441)
and 23 miles long (extending from Curahee Mountain to the head waters
of the South Oconee River) which included the Wofford Settlement. It
was originally marked by a line of felled trees at least twenty feet
wide which became a sort of no man's land. The United States agreed
to pay the Cherokee Indians $5,000 and $1,000 per annum for the
property rights.
By about 1796 the Indian troubles were about over and the need for
the string of frontier forts was no longer pressing. The forts,
after the need for defense subsided, became log farmhouses.
The Wofford's and the Hollingsworth's traveled together to new
frontiers in the west using passports to travel through Indian
territory. As the years passed many of their descendants would
pack up their belongings, taking wives, children, slaves and
animals and move west, as genealogy records show. Fort Hollingsworth
was left on these vacant lands.
In Habersham County Inferior Court setting as a land court May
Term 1855, William B. Wofford, son of Nathaniel Wofford, grandson
of William W. Wofford, petitioned the court for a head right warrant
for vacant lands. He received a grant from the state on Oct. 2,
1855. He sold this property to Col. Robert McMillan on April 18,
1857. Fort Hollingsworth was on this property.
Col. Robert McMillan came from Ireland in 1831. He put his heart,
soul, and money into the Confederate cause and raised and commanded
the 24th Georgia Regiment. Although nearly sixty years old he was
noted for his bravery. When General Thomas R. R. Cobb fell, mortally
wounded at Fredricksburg, Col. McMillan was placed in temporary
command and would have been made Brigadier-General but his health
failed and he came home to die.
On March 1, 1861, Robert McMillan sold the property to John Lane.
He had owned the property little more than a month when the Civil
war started. He went off to the war, Co. D-43 Regiment-Ga.
Volunteer Infantry-Army of Tenn. CSA-"Middle River Volunteers",
and never returned. He was shot by his own men as he returned
from getting water from a spring in Tennessee. Until this day
no one knows where he is buried. He was killed in the summer of
1862. He never got to live in the house, in life, but his ghost
still haunts the place. He has been seen by those who have lived
in the house and they all describe him in the same way, a somber
face and dressed in clothing of the 1860's. Canon blasts are
heard occasionally that rattles the windows. His property was
divided among sisters.
On December 9, 1862, Joshua White bought the "Upper Leather Tract",
from the John Lane estate, and he and Katharine Lane White made the
fort their home. They built the addition to the two story single
pen that had been the fort and made it look like any other farm
house of the mid 1800's. The addition was linked to the original
structure by a covered walkway, known as a dogtrot. Dogtrots
allowed the inhabitants to work outside in pleasant weather and
protected the entire house from burning if one side caught on fire.
The air flow through the dogtrot helped to cool the house in the summer.
The old wagon road ran through the yard of the fort, past the barn,
down through the fields and across Mountain Creek. It continued on
to the old Hollingsworth Store (which was across the road from where
Irvin's Store now stands) and crossed US Hwy 441 near Harmony Church
and continued on to the Wofford Fort on Broad River. It is still
visible today, in places.
Water was always a problem on the site. Several wells were dug
but had to be filled in because of caving. Water was carried
from a spring located southwest of the house. Water flowed into
a stone bowl just deep enough for a bucket.
Also, located near this spring was a wash place. Laundry was carried
from the house to the water instead of carrying the water to the house.
Across the branch from this wash place was a hole in the bank that
contained pure white clay. It was called the white mud hole.
This white clay was used to polish the fire-places during spring
cleaning. It was also used for the chinking between the logs in
the fort.
Near the spring was an Indian ceremonial ground. This area was de-
stroyed in the 1930's when timber was cut and dragged across the site.
March 21, 1903 - The Fort-White House was passed to the children of
Joshua & Katharine Lane White.
The Hollingsworth Fort/White House looks very much today like it
did in the 1860's. Beacher White who acquired the house in 1936
knew the historical value of the fort and would not allow it to be
painted or changed much. He wanted to preserve it as much as possible.
Due to beacher White's foresight, it is still possible to see the
tiny window in the side of the house which was used to watch for
Indians, the original fireplace mantels, and the 18 inch baseboards.
It is very easy to imagine what life must have been like in those
early days of Georgia.
In 1980 the Fort/White House was passed to Beacher & Mellie Segars
White's children. They too recognize the historical value of this
property and wish to share it with the public. Efforts are currently
underway to restore the Fort/White House. The Friends of the Fort
organization has been formed to manage the house and its preservation.

Funny Observations
Send by Fred
The paradox of our time in history is that
we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;
We spend more, but have less;
we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
we have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, and laugh
too little, drive too fast, get too angry to quickly, stay up too late, and
get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
we've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
We've done larger things, but not better things;
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;
We write more, but learn less;
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
We have more food, but less appeasement;
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more
copies than ever, but have less communication;
We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
tall men, and short character;
steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;
more leisure, but less fun;
more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;
of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies,
and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in
the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a

Fred's Letter to Clancy & Tom
Nov. 29, 1995
Dear Clancy and Tom,
I received your letter last week and never got around to answering it. We had
our Boswell daughter and husband and grandkids from Thursday night until
Sunday morning. They seemed to enjoy themselves here. Bradley read most of the
time. I guess he acted sort of like your Steve did when he was young and
visited here. If reading will help, maybe he will turn out to be some sort of
genius. Eric seems to have more ordinary intelligence if he will use it in the
long run. He seems gifted in mathematics, and can multiply big numbers out in
his head. I let them have a cedar for a Christmas tree. I don't know how it
fared at 75 miles an hour on top of the car for 750 miles.
I took your advice before I got your letter on extra tests concerning what the
Dr. in NC thought was a TIA. The Dr. here, since I have very good insurance,
had a brain catscan run and also audio echo tests done on blood flow to and
from head and on heart condition. From these tests he said there was no sign of
my ever having a TIA. He said my heart condition was equal to one in a much
younger age group. He supposed I must have had some sinus congestion or
something like that. At least he made me feel good. Fayette hospital has the
modern test instruments to extract the most money from Medicare and Bluecross,
so I didn't have to go off somewhere to get tested. Anyhow the Brevard, NC Dr
got me well by taking a few extra aspirin, so I wasn't dissatisfied with what
he did. I guess I will just die off with nothing wrong but old age and
meanness. I had eyes checked in early summer. That Dr. was ready to operate the
same week. I told him I was "gunshie" of eye operations; since having a sister
and a brother with not much success with eye operations, and that I would wait
until I went blind first. I can still see the leaves on trees 1/4 mile away and
see the road good in daytime, so I guess I will hang around a while before
trying to have my eyes improved. My eyes seem to me to be in about the same
shape as in 1936 when the Navy recruiter in Bham. told me to get out of the
recruiting office, that I couldn't see. I suppose they never have been too
good, or too awfully bad, so I will just try to be satisfied with what I have.
The female eye Dr. at Ft. Belvoir said I had unusual striations in my eyes. The
Dr. here saw nothing unusual, but was eager to make a dollar.
I have been compiling a little Church of Christ history here lately. I found a
church in Morgan County, Al. where the Nick Hackworth family went to church.
His Dau. Sally married Philemous Morris. Phil was the Morris that wrote the
diary while living near Berea Church, and was the grandson of Sally Hackworth.
Sally's sister was Mary Hackworth. She married John McCaleb, the preacher son of
Hugh and Elizabeth Holbrook McCaleb. So I deducted that the Hugh McCaleb family
must have lived somewhere near the old Log Church where Sally and Mary were
baptized. The Randolphs were up in Morgan Co. also. The Randolphs and John
McCaleb were instrumental in establishing Berea Church. Jim Wade, a Primitive
Baptist turned C. of Christ after marrying Leah Catherine McCaleb ( dau of
Andrew and Leah C. McCollum), Was the most loved preacher at Berea. He didn't
charge for his preaching (a prim. bap. principle), Ha! Virgil Randolph married
Martha McCaleb. So everywhere I turned there was a McCaleb woman married to an
Early C. Of Christ preacher and McCalebs and McCollums donating land for Berea.
Nick Morris started the Morris cemetery where daddy's brother Franklin is
burried. It may turn out that I know more Church of Christ history than any of
the members around here, and me not even a good member. Should I give them a
copy of what I have? I also have Killingsworth Baptist. Grady Randolph wrote up
the Randolph contribution to the Church of Christ. He lives in Atlanta, and is
the grandson of Virgil and Martha McCaleb Randolph. Would you like to have the
full amount I acquire on the Church of Christ?
Guess I better quit for today. We seem OK at present. Have had greens from
garden. The noise of Thanksgiving has died down. I hope you and Tom are OK.
Glad to hear Tom and Bill are getting out of cow business. Too much work for
old fellows. Maybe Tom hasn't got old yet. I hope he stays young for a very
long time.
With love,
Fred

Christmas Letter 2000
by
Fred McCaleb
I have been seeing or experiencing Christmases since 1916, or a total of 84 of
them. In my young years while growing up the most expensive presents we ever
got was a dozen or two of apples and about that many of oranges. At about the
time I was 6 years old my father bought a little red wagon for my brother and
I. We and the neighboring Hollingsworth cousins tore the wagon up in about a
month. My dad never bought another wagon Christmas present after that. He
allowed we would only tear it to pieces. He did continue buying the fruit and
sometimes 5 or 10 cents worth of peppermint candy. He did that until I was a
grown boy. Thinking back about him, that was all the gifts he could afford. I
don’t recall him ever making over $500 in any one year. It was all he was
able to do was to keep us fed with mostly groceries grown on the farm. For heat
in the winter at Christmas he burned wood cut from his place with a cross cut
saw with me pulling one end of it after I got big enough. When I was 15-17
years old we cleared the trees from about 10 acres of woodland on which to grow
corn. It is a miracle that I didn’t get killed doing that. After spending
spare time clearing each winter we had a log rolling to pile the logs in a big
heap for burning. We must have burned up several thousand dollars worth of
timber at present 2000 AD prices. At a log rolling the neighboring men come in
to help pile the logs and their wifes come to help prepare the meals. They had
a talking, hard working time on those days and got fed bountifully.
After the log rolling and the piles were burned came the plowing of the cleared
field. It was my dad and me for the plowing with a gee whizz plow. The gee
whizz had spring teeth to plow the ground with and the teeth were constantly
swinging back and forth while plowing. Sometimes you received a hard knock on
the leg or ankle with that plow. But I had to take whatever knocks came my way.
I wished I had a mechanical plowing machine to do the work, but machines that
ran on own power were only a pipe dream at that time for us on a poor farm.
We did have a Christmas tree after I was in my teens and maybe before, but I
don’t recollect the before. We would cut a little cedar tree and brace it up
in the front room. My sister Clancy would do the decorating. The decorating was
done with home made decorations at practically no expense. Cut up aluminum foil
and strung popped popcorn around the tree. Throw the cut up aluminum foil on
the sides of the tree and do other cheap things I have forgotten about. The
Christmases were just as merry then as they are now. We didn’t know how poor
we were financially. Everyone in the community was in same shape and didn’t
know the difference. We didn’t know we were disadvantaged by present
standards. My dad’s old farm, which I have today, has yeilded many thousands
of dollars in timber and gas royalty. I regret that my parents and young family
never got any benefits of that. The good timber on your place would sell for
about $200 back in those days. Today mature timber would sell for $100,000.
Money has gradually cheapened and is getting cheaper.
The water for the farm was drawn with a windlass and well bucket
For our water needs. Washed your hands in a common washpan and drank from a
waterbucket with a cheap dipper. Dippers were sometimes made from gourds and
the fanciest costliest dipper was a cedar one. No attention was paid to getting
germs. Sanitation and safety were on a primitive level.
In the 1930s president Roosevelt started dishing out government money to needy
families and the amount of the dish has been getting greater through the 1900s.
The country would be in sad financial shape without the welfare payments.
Farmers with sophisticated equipment are growing the food and grain products.
The mule farmers have vanished. It’s anyone’s guess as to what may happen
in the future if the
like that can happen. Let us hope so. My Christmases have been better since I
went to

Letter of Adcice from Enoch Smith to his Children 1811
by
Fred & Bettie McCaleb
The following letter was written by Enoch Smith (b 21 June
1750,Stafford County, Va) a Revolutionary War soldier and early Kentucky
Surveyor and pioneer, who settled in Montgomery County as early as 1775.
Smith was a son of Henry Smith and Sarah Crosby. According to a history of
Smith who owned 1400 acres in the area, was one of four men who donated
land for the town of
original trustees and helped found
1798. Smith is said to have been a friend of General George Rogers Clark
and Daniel Boone. He was a brother of U.S. Senator Daniel Smith of
married 1.
Fairfax County, Va.) and was the father of by first wife Nancy Smith b 21
Nov 1779,married William Reed, Joseph Smith b 31 May 1781, and married
Margaret Smith, Mary Smith b 18 Mar 1783, m Daniel Smith Lane and Sarah
Smith b 25 May 1786 and had 2 marriages Thomas Jamison and James Hardage
Lane. Children by marriage to Frances Wren were Susan b 1789, d 1848 m
William Ferguson 27 Nov 1807, Anna married Thomas I Garrett,
Sallie Grimes,
Mrs Franklin is a ggggg grand daughter of Enoch Smith. No Changes have been
made to original text, with the exception of the inclusion of modern
punctuation.
(Bettie Cline McCaleb added the Children and marriages Will book c page82,
Montgomery Co Ky).
To my dear children, I am now 61 years old. I never expect to have
another child. Much of my time has been spent studying the nature and order
of things. Permit me therefore to give you council (sic) which perhaps may
be good and profitable to you when I am gone to the dust nevermore having
the opportunity of doing it.
First as you grow up be careful of your moral character, if this is
lost your usefulness and happiness is also lost. Have respect to the
Scriptures, it is the best of books and contains a fund of instruction and
knowledge. And when you read them do it with --attention; not only read but
think; look to Him that can give you the Spirit that dictated them and then
you can more easily understand them. From them I have got my religious and
political sentiments , with the help of Other Men's opinions which I have
been careful to bring to the Standard. And I now take the scriptures of
the old and new Testament for my rule of faith- and practice and lay aside
all Confessions of faith and religious creeds. They are works of Man and
imperfect. They Shakle Men's minds and when they see into inconsistences
they have been Tought (sic) by them, they cannot shake their fetters and
travel in more pure air.
If Soloman made use of the law of nature to find out who was the
mother of the live Child as mentioned in the first book of Kings 3 chapter
25th verse--surely it is good policies for all legislators to make now laws
inconsistent with the laws of nature. If they do, wil (sic) find them hard
to execute; amendments upon amendments follow, a set of Rapacious Lawyers
wil (sic) rise up among them from interested motives and will lead their
clients through laws; the management of the----and the command of the army
(are) two (sic) much power for any human being to possess. Aristocracy
according to the modern definition of the word is a government in the hands
of Nobles. But this government is more ancient than nobility itself. It was
an instinct created in human nature and it was an Aristocracy that Moses
instituted among the children of Isaac and it appears that the number
seventy composed the (sanctum?) of the Jewish nation.
Some politicians have been for choosing a Senate for life to attach
them to the government. Some think it more safe to have transient
elections. Others have thought that it would answer a better to; find the
choice in familys (sic). Others have gloried much in a good constitution
for a basis in government which may answer a valuable purpose to bad powers
of government divided. Those who are legislative to another, those who are
Judicial to another and those who are Executive to another. But I have
extended my ideas still farther and believe that it is a government that
has its existence in human nature and that self love in this body politic
is the Jenius (sic) that supports it in peace and prosperity, and on the
contrary, individual self love though a species of Aristocracy is the
abandon or destroyer of this government.
If true it would be prudent in the choice of senators to consider
how much property they possess of what kind it is, and what kind of manners
they have. For great men are not always wise, though they have more to
attach them to government than the poor. But if the poor are justly dealt
with they may be divulged on by government. Also for the aristocratical
beast must resemble the face of a calf--a clean beast that chews the cud
with every member of the body--receives nourishment and strength by which
every member is protected and guarded with care. Even as in a natural
Aristocracy every body receives nourishment and strength, every member is
treated with care----his natural rights such as life, liberty and property.
A maze of expense delays and disappointments; and take it for
general rule, Nation that has two (sic) much law,has two (sic) much
property, held by the laws of society, and that nature or natures God
neaver (sic) designed should be so. Instance the
Slave law.
I believe there are four kinds of government, three of which have
their existence in human nature and one Divine government that rules and
over rules all things which four governments proclaim the Almighty to be a
holy Lord (See Revelations the 4 chapter 7&8 verses. Ezekiel the first
chapter. Zachariah the 6th chapter 5 verse).
As the first government Parential appears to be the Senior
golvernment and the jenius (Sic) that supports it is natural affection,
like that of a father to his children. If this is lost the foundation is
destroyed and the structure will fall to the ground and through the
Legislature, Executive and Judiciary powers of government are lodged in the
hands of the parent, which makes him resemble the face of a Lyon (sic),
that is, fear. It is right as should be so. As those that are to be
governed are not capable of exercising in their Infantile years their
reason and therefore it is the best government they can conceive.
The parents wish is the best of law to them until they are capable
of a better government and there is not much dainger (sic) of the Parent
abusing his power as long as he has natural affection for his offspring.
If government is executed by one void of natural affection he soon
degenerates into despotism. Power intoxicates him and makes him forget what
manner of man he is.
Though Kingly government has been much practiced, it has no
foundation in nature. Ignorance and wickedness have a natural tendency
when they cohabit together to beget Kings a mongril (sic) offspring, who by
their craft and cunning by which they derive their name, deprive their
subjects of their natural rights and plain diffinition (sic) of Monarchy
seem to be that of a state in which a single person by whatever name he may
be distinguished,is intrusted with the execution of the opportunity of
acquiring the property that is essential in a natural Aristocracy that is
better basis and---to attach and bind Mankind faster to government than
consolidation, metamorphising, altering the nature--thereof can do ;which
wil (sic) find (?)it on a foundation that is not to be found in nature.
Democracy and government in the hands of the people and by some
politicians held up with contempt to the world as having a natural tendency
to disunion and faction. Perhaps this is a natural consequence that flows
from their not being qualified to receive this government as being ignorant
and wicked for knowledge and virtue are the pillars of a Democracy and
whatsoever is reasonable is right in this government. Hence it is a
Democratic heart has the face of man and the jenius (sic) that supports its
reason; therefore in this government every citizen ought to be a well
informed virtuous man and then they may enjoy the government by Christ
himself is appointed(sic) for the Church. (See Matthew the 18 chapter).
Theocracy is a government superintended by God himself,which many
philosophers of Old believed in and the Scriptures abundantly testify of
it--Read Moses' Song, Deutronomy Chapter 22 which is a wonderful effect of
Inspiration no human being could have such exhalted ideas of God without
the assistance of his Spirit.
The man of God describes the dealings of God, providence to that
nation in language wonderfully striking as an Eagle. It stirreth up her
nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth (abroad?) her wings. So the lord
did lead him and there was no strange God with Him, which makes me believe
this Government has the aspect of an Eagle which flies high and by some
called the Heaven (circles?) sometimes out of our sight. So is providence
of Almighty God.
Now dear children, I know now how better to conclude than in the
words of the wise Man Solomon, let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter. Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of
man his whole interest his whole honor his whole happiness in short his
all. May God bless you all is the prayers of your affectionate Father.
Enoch Smith
Read this book and the book of Nature and become wise.
The way to greatness ought in a natural Aristocracy ought to be kept open
and as plain as the way to market.

Christmas Letter 1999
by
Fred McCaleb
Hello out there everybody, sisters, brothere (all gone), aunts (one left),
cousins of all ranks & varieties,nephews, nieces, friends, genealogists and
whoever happens to read this,
I wish you a happy Christmas and new year and new millenium. Decide you are
going to be happy whatever your circumstances. I am happy and thankful that I
got this far. I have come a long ways since 1916 when I was born and 1921 when
my greyheaded and long whiskered g grandpa John R. Hollingsworth who was born
1838 was sitting on the porch at my McCaleb grandparents,pointing his walking
stick at us, and telling me and the other great grandchildren to behave or he
would see that we did. I never imagined getting this far in age. Maybe I will
reach the next milennium if I pull through the next few days. Have attended
schools from the one room varieties to outstanding colleges. I thought a
teacher was old at 30 years when in Jr High school. Had good and bad teachers
and those in between. Found that achievement depends on what you do, not the
capacity of the teacher. Been through the roaring twenties (we had nothing
then) and through the great depression of the 30s and smaller ones since. Got
through them all—if you have nothing adjust your wants accordingly and want
nothing and be pleased to get nothing.
Finally I have been in the age of cheaper and cheaper money since WW2. Everybody
gets more and more cheap money and the loan agencies get what of that they have.
What high priced item the average person doesn’t have he thinks he has to
borrow and putchase it right now at high interest and call it his own
possession. It belongs to the lender. Even teen agers have to have an
automobile and get one one way or another. A great busy, unhappy age trying to
have all the material goods that are out there.
I have come from being proud of my grandpa McCaleb letting me plow his mule
hooked to a cricket turning plow at my age of 9 to operating a computer and
setting up a net page at the age of 83. Great to have come through all this and
met all the varied people of humanity that I have come in contact with. Have
known people born more than 160 years ago and know younger people that may live
past 2070. Time marches on. Best of happiness to all.
