LIBERTY RIDGE This church originated about 1867, as the result of a revival
meeting, held in a log school house, which aroused the whole neighborhood,
many of whom were baptized. A temporary organization was formed, of which Dr.
Joseph Brown was a leading member. Soon after differences arose and Dr. Brown
and others withdrew. These, aided by Green B. Choat, erected a cheap
building, which was afterwards rebuilt into a modern structure, worth $1,200.
During the early days of this church it was ministered to by Elder Stanton
Fields. Later, other brethren, among whom were O.J. Page, G. Lay Wolfe and
W.A. Utley, preached for them. The church now has a membership of
seventy-five, with an efficient Sunday school and Christian Endeavor society.
Looking for information on Charles H. Choate, b. 16 Sept.1806 Charlestown, MA died 1883. He was married to (1) Martha Parker, b. 6 June 1832 - Woburn, MA; and died 1833, (2) Lydia Gove Dow b. 1840, died 1904. I would like to get his ancestry if possible?
Thanks,

I found this by doing a search at www.alltheweb.com (exact phrase):
When GOD gave out brains, I thought he said trains,
and I missed mine.
When GOD gave out looks, I thought he said books,
and I didn't want any.
When GOD gave out noses, I thought he said roses,
so I asked for a big red one
When GOD gave out chins, I thought he said gins,
and I asked for double.
When GOD gave out legs, I thought he said kegs,
so I ordered two big fat ones.
When GOD gave out heads, I thought he said beds,
so I asked for a nice soft one.
Boy am I in a mess??"
IT's a different version

"WHEN GOD GAVE OUT NOSES I THOUGHT HE SAID ROSES SO I ORDERED A GREAT BIG RED ONE."
AND THEN GOES ON TO SAY........"AND WHEN HE SAID BRAINS I THOUGHT HE SAID CANES AND I SAID NO THANKS DON'T NEED ONE".
SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ALL OF IT OR AT LEAST INFORMATION ON WHERE TO LOOK, THANKS, JUDY
