Memories and Musings

By Marjorie Smith Meador

This expanded edition of Marjorie's family story includes adventurous, sometimes famous Van Meter and Du Bois ancestors; requested genealogy charts; and additional family stories.From pioneer times, read of a daring rescue of family members from Indian captivity; of building new communities; and of vision in moving westward. Travel with the author from the horse-and-buggy days of her grandparents to the Model T era of her youth to more modern times. Read Levi's love letters to Ola, and chuckle at the story of Grandmother Smith, who traveled with her fluffy feather bed that almost smothered her. Cringe at the effect of Aunt Amy, not a lover of children, visiting a farm family of seven.Stories of the past both entertain and instruct, reminding us that we all have a story. Laugh, learn, and relate; times may be different but perhaps people are not, really.
