Common sense isn't.
The route is along a one lane gravel road, up a slight
incline.
Just over the rise, past a row of trees, the church and cemetery
sit up on the hill to the left.
View from the road, up the hill toward the front of the
church.
View from the fence at the edge of the cemetery.
The
church is being painted, probably to spruce it up for the 100th
anniversary of its establishment in 1901. An
annual homecoming (archive, 2001) is still held at the church.
| Quote of the moment |
| Responsibility for political conditions thousands of miles away can no longer be avoided, I think, by this great Nation. Certainly I don’t want to live to see another war. As I have said, the world is smaller, smaller every year. The United States now exerts a tremendous influence in the cause of peace. What we people over here are thinking and talking about is in the interest of peace because it is known all over the world. The slightest remark in either House of Congress is known all over the world the following day. We will continue to exert that influence only if we are willing to share in the responsibility of keeping the peace. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 12, address to Congress on Yalta Conference (March 1, 1945), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). FDR tried to make sure by this address that the sort of return to isolationism which followed World War I would not occur. He believed, and so informed the Congress, that carping criticism of the Allies and the peace agreements would only lead to recriminations and suspicions which could bring another war. ~ |
