Florence (Shively) Gause Celebrates 90^th Birthday on June 21, 2011 (Summer Solstice)
– Genealogy Researcher Still At It!

Florence Gause will celebrate her 90^th birthday on Tuesday, June 21 with her husband of 66 years and family and friends.

At 90 years young, Florence Gause still works on her life-long love of genealogy research , using both a computer and Internet service as well as visits to cemeteries and digging in old records. She mostly does genealogy of her own family and their activities now, though. She is still working on local obituaries, archiving items at the Genealogy Room at the Mercer County Library in Celina, and archiving history for the Chattanooga Methodist Church.

She is still an active member of the Mercer County Historical Society, and takes great pride in the Mercer County History Book which she helped write in 1978.

The book today is a valuable tool for family researchers.

She and her husband, Lloyd, a spry 93 year old, raised milk cows for a living, and their registered herds had pedigrees, which had to be researched and recorded. It was just a matter of switching the subject of the “search” to people later on, laughed Florence. They no longer milk cows, but Lloyd still farms and keeps a huge garden, and between the two of them, they can and freeze their own produce. She said she has been enjoying his fresh strawberries from the patch, and she really enjoys his cooking, too!

She recently took up crocheting and made a baby blanket that will be used as a prize for the upcoming Farmers’ Picnic near Chatt.

The parents of three: Vickie (Tim) Bollenbacher, David Gause and Marjie (Jay) Ellis, the couple also have a dozen grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren.

If you know Florence, give her a call or would like to wish her well, an email can be sent to fgause@bright.net .

Love You!

Happy 50^th Birthday to Steve Ford of Rockford on May 16, 2011!

Pictured: A bet was made five years ago with Steve and Lindsay Garwood after he told her she had reached her full height by then. At the time she was in the 8th grade. She disputed and so a deal was made. She had up until her high school graduation to grow taller. If this happened he would bake her a cake, however, if she did not grow, she would have to make him a cake.  Lindsay timed her surprise presentation to Steve just right at the Parkway High School Senior Music Recognition Banquet after the choir opened by singing "Happy Birthday." Steve was surely surprised!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY COLBIE!!!!!!!!

Colbie Smith turns 3 on January 24th

Love Mom, Dad and Fletcher

Happy Sweet 16^th Birthday, Chelsea! 
The moment you were born,
I took you in my arms and cried with joy.
The day you turned one,
I gave you your very first cake to enjoy.
On your first day of school,
You laughed while I cried.
On your very first bike, I chased you down the hill
But you just had to fly.
I look back to the days you were young,
You thought you could jump higher then you sprung.
You smiled at the littlest things
And you acted like you understood all of the strings.
Your beauty has always inspired
Everyone to reach so much higher.
You are a special girl indeed
My daughter, I wish you the happiest sweet sixteen.

Love you bunches,

Mom, Dad, Lexi, & Harley
