" I am always amazed when we start talking about God how many responses come forth. I applaud Nila Jobe's article, and I am also amazed at all the people in these United States who want to do away with God's name in all aspects, BUT then are the first to complain and whine if God DOES NOT BLESS America. Can't have it both ways folks. God honors those who honor him.......... "

" Geraldine Satterly was an excellent researcher for genealogy in the area. She was constantly doing research at the public library and at the area cemetaries. Her research has helped countless of people in search for their roots. "
