Housewife
This message of love was given to Mr. Chester Smith by hi s dear wife some ten years ago. Their life together was 6 4 years. This copy was made on the day of her funeral. Fe bruary 28, 1972 (Weldon & Venis Rightmer)
I hope dear one
You care for me
As much as I for you
For you are part
of all my thoughts
And everything I do
And you are everything of all
The dreams there are in me
Each moment at your side becomes
A sweeter memory
You have not really told me but
Somehow I feel quite sure
The promise that you made me is
The kind that will endure
There is a certain something in
Your eyes and in your smile
A sort of whispering that it is
Not just for a little while
That it will last forever and
My dreams will all come true
My dreams of happiness and love
In sharing life with you.

"Human and mortal though we are, we are, nevertheless, no t mere insulated beings, without relation to the past or fu ture. Neither the point in time nor the spot of earth in wh ich we physically live bounds our rational and intellectua l enjoyments. We live in the past by the knowledge of its h istory, and in the future by the hope and anticipation. B y ascending to an association with our ancestors: by contem plating their example, and studying their character; by par taking of their sediments and imbibing their spirit; by acc ompanying them in their toils; by sympathizing in their suf ferings and rejoicing in their successes and their triumphs ?we mingle our own existence with theirs and seem to belon g to their age. We become their contemporaries, live the li ves which they lived, endure what they endured, and partak e in the rewards they enjoyed."
-Daniel Webster

The Word "Cumberland" is rich with antiquity. It can be tr aced to Japheth, the second son of Noah. Japheth's son, Go mer, produced descendants called Cimmerins in west Asia, Cy mries of Europe. Cumbrians of the British Isles, the Duk e of which was called the Duke of Cumberland. (William Aug ustus, 1727-60) He was the Prime Minister of England at th e time Walker discovered the river that bears his title - C umberland.
Cumberland Presbyterian Church Denomination began in the Gr eat Revival of Kentucky in Cumberland County.
As is true with all new and great experiences of the huma n family, especially when made up of so many different type s of characters, divisions will arise, hence we find at thi s time a split, on account of different opinions among memb ers came in the different churches and gave rise to differe nt denominations. Even the Presbyterian congregation divid ed over this and there resulted the establishment of the Cu mberland Presbyterian Church, 1802. Little children who we re converted were allowed to preach until exhausted.

While on a trip doing research at the Library in Burkesvill e, KY I found in their card file index a card for Sarah Far mer. The interesting thing is that her first name is give n as "Sallie" which I guess is a nickname for Sarah. Her b irth and death dates corresponded to the day with the infor mation we have already on file. It followed with this quot ation from the Cumberland News -
"The widow of James Smith died at her home on Illwill Frida y." It referred to the Tina Cofa Scrapbook in the possessi on of Randolph Smith of the Smith Pharmacy in Burkesville , KY.
Subsequently I found a deed for a land purchase in the Clin ton County Court House where James signed and then Sarah si gned as "Sallie".
Housewife
The Rose Of Sharon
Way back in the holler
Of the foothills of Kentucky
Was a road that lead to nowhere so it seemed
Over the hill and around the bend
Nestled in some trees
Was a masterpiece of History in the ground called
(chorus)
The Rose of Sharon
The Rose of Sharon
Where the past had laid to rest for generations
The Rose of Sharon held a map of our ancestry
As loved ones searched for where we had come from
The Rose of Sharon
We stepped out on the hillside
And stood on fertile ground
The wind blew all around us In this sleepy silent realm
We walked across the same land
As family before us
And saw the stones of loved ones never met at
repeat chorus
Too soon after discovering the last piece of the puzzle
A black cloud came from nowhere,
And rained on our parade
The gentle rain kept falling and bidding us goodbye
It was time for us to leave the past behind

It is believed by us that James Turner and Sarah Smith wer e members of the Rose of Sharon Methodist Church in Cumberl and County, Kentucky. The church land was donated to the M ethodists in 1825 by the Craft family who are buried in th e Rose of Sharon Cemetery. The church and cemetery sit in C umberland County and right behind the church plot is the Cl inton County line. James and Sarah lived in the Ill Will C reek area which by horse and wagon was less that 2 miles aw ay from the church. There is a spring on the lot of Rose o f Sharon that flows into a small ravine behind the church . In November of 2001 on a trip to visit Rose of Sharon Ru th and Beverly and Pam Smith were visiting with some of th e ladies of the church. When they mentioned the Spring th e ladies said that in days gone by the families of the are a used to bring their horse drawn wagons with barrels to th is spring to draw water to use for washing clothes and taki ng baths.
