If you see these girls on Dec. 6, wish them a happy birthday: Regina Asher, Shelly O'Bryan and Linda Stinnett. Belated birthday wishes are extended to Shawn Stinnett (Nov. 23).

John Harmon and his wife hosted a large Thanksgiving celebration for the community of Dycusburg.

Please keep Jeannie Griffin in your thoughts and prayers as she has been back in the hospital.

The descendants of Longshore Lamb, a Revolutionary War soldier who settled in Caldwell County near Claxton before 1810, are raising funds to erect a marker in his memory at the Lamb Cemetery. Longshore and his wife, Sarah Lee, had the following children: Mary (Polly) Lamb-Crow; William Lamb; Elizabeth Lamb-Reaves-Vaughn; Levi Lamb; Margaret (Peggy) Lamb-Farmer; Jensey Jane Lamb-Clayton; John Lamb, Sr.; Moses Lamb and Martin Lamb. Unfortunately, we do not know Longshore's exact burial location, however, we will be erecting a memorial marker. If you are a Lamb descendant and would like to make a donation, please send a check or money order to: Matthew T. Patton, 509 Onward Ave., Phoenixville, PA 19460-5932. For more information, call 215-285-0920.
