Lorine Ellard Jowers and Clarence Ellard

Lorine Ellard Jowers wrote these stories about her childhood to share with her children and grand-children.  In 1990 she asked me to compile these into a book that she could give out at Christmas.  It is now 14 years later and my Grandmother recently passed away.  I had misplaced my book of her stories.  As the family was going through her things my copy was found.  Inside was an additional story on a folded piece of paper (Buttermilk, ?, Bologna).

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I have.  Be sure to check out her cookbook – I’m sure you will find many delicious recipes you will want to try.
