Hi,
I just came across your site as I was searching articles about the old jailhouse.

Wow, it brought back memories !
My Grandfather, R. E. Whaley, was the jailer there for years. My Grandmother,Dean, did the great cooking you were talking about.

My brothers, sister, and I played upstairs in the jail cells, and so many happy holidays were spent with our grandparents and parents at the jail.

I guess not too many people can say that they grew up at the County Jail

Thanks for sharing your tour.

I love your family photo! And that courthouse is such a fabulous building. I love that your hometown is keeping their history alive.

And as I was scrolling through your blog, at first I thought that shop photo was a yard sale, and I was thinking, “leave it to her to find a yard sale on her family outing!” Hahaha!

Rhoda,
I so enjoyed traveling with you and reading about your family history on this incredible journey with your cute dad and mom. He looks so please in the pictures to have his beautiful women with him and to show you all the places he fondly remembered.
(I liked your hair flat ironed! Blogger wouldn't let me comment..)
What a cherished experience and trip this will be for you, and your family.

I did enjoy the tour of your Father’s home town. My Grandparents were born in 1874 and 1876. I grew up listening to many of their stories of a very different kind of childhood than I was experiencing in the 50′s and 60′s. I have delved deeply into our family history because of those stories and I feel as though I have known all those people whose names I see in the genealogy records that I’ve searched. I have a friend who can’t find any info past her grandparents. How sad to know so much has been lost. WRITE IT ALL DOWN for the future generations.

Hi Ms. Rhoda…oh, the look on your dad’s face just shows how much he enjoyed “going back”…Loved the egg for a sucker story and having to go to jail for wetting his pants…priceless! Have a splendid weekend! Bo

Thank you for sharing such a lovely journey…. I enjoyed the interesting facts about your family.
I’ve had the privilege of staying in similar Beach Houses (like the ones you pictured) here on our Oregon coast. You’ve inspired me to post pics sometime.
*Sweet Wishes*!
