Hi. I don't see these sisters among the Christmas individuals for whom I
have information. They're in Houston and Dooly Counties GA. Both Polly
and Peggy are nicknames. If you haven't already, it may help to consult a
reference on names to suggest what given names corresponded to these
nicknames in the 19th C. JEB

Thanks to Betty, Joyce, Fern & Mary Lou for comments on the "oleo" colors
and taste. It refreshed my memory that the color had
to be mixed, now remember my mom doing it; still remember it tasting bad. I
had also sent the WWII letter to my children; both called, and neither were
aware of the things that our country/people went threw. In an way, the
letter was helpful to them in dealing with today's events, by knowing their
parents and
grandparents had gone through some difficult times.
Need help on following sisters - Peggy & Polly, or could be the same person.
Thanks so much for your quick reply and I hope we can find the sisters.
Quinton was our gg grandfathers name. He had three wives and they all died
before him and are buried in the Everett Springs Cemetery close to Rome, GA.
Thanks again and please do keep in touch if you find anything of interest
about this line. Respectfully, Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,
The only thing found so far is a short reference from S. C. Genealogy
Society, Vol. II, Chart 19, I copied some years ago. This shows Polly G.
Christmas, b. June 5, 1814 - d. Oct. 28, 1841 husband as Quinton Everett,
b. Nov. 28, 1804 in SC - d. Oct. 27, 1888 in Floyd Co., GA. I've had this
Polly G. information for years, and you are the first connection to her;
maybe we will get lucky.
Several members of the Sumter Dist., SC Christmas family went to
Houston/Dooly Co. GA starting in the 1820s. Tomorrow, we are driving to SC
for a few days, and I will go through these SC families. I would love to
connect these sisters, so if any thing comes to mind, please drop me a
note. Thanks for writing.

Betty and Fern,
I remember it too. My brother and I would fight over who got to mix it. This
is the only time we ever fought.
I remember too taking the top and the bottom off cans and flattening them. We
had to put them in a seperate container for recycling.
I remember the black out shades and the banners in the windows that parents
put with stars for how many sons went off to war.

The following was pulled from an article in the Nov 2001 PC World. It is designed to trap viruses that use your email account. When the defective mail address is returned to you, you know that you have an infection of OUTLOOK AND OUTLOOK EXPRESS Software. EVEN IF YOU USE NETSCAPE MAIL OR AOL, this little jewel will let you know that you have a virus. This also has the server reject your contaminated mail no matter how many valid email addresses are in it, so you do not spread the virus any further.
Here's how easy it is to do:
Create and Invalid Address Book entry
1. Enter a bogus first and last name starting with a non alphabet charater, such as " *virus &trap ", without the quotes.
2. Next enter <illegaladdress as the email address. DO NOT add @ or anything else to the address. When you click Add, Outlook will tell you it's not a complete address and ask you if you still want to add it. Click yes, then Click OK.
When your virus tries to mail itself to the addresses in your address book, the first address it mails itself to is <illegaladdress Since this is the first entry the mail server will encounter (THE < SIGN ENSURES THIS), it will reject the message and in many cases the message will be sent back without sending it to the rest of your friends, who would then hold you in disfavor for infecting them.
I recommend that you forward this to as many people as possible. The author of this trick is Alex Censor. The article is on page 61
And of course I always recommend sending mail BCC, or Blind Carbon Copy, instead of To: or Cc:
Hi,
My folks had a grocery store and all though I can barely remember a lot of
things at that time. I well remember the Orange Coloring that came with the
White Oleo.. When those Coloring packages broke WHAT A MESS!!!
Also remember that Christmas was VERY sparse for everyone. Hey, I was only
3 years Old, wanting dolls is every girls dreams even then!!!!! Did not get
a doll got a Teddy Bear that came as a promotion to my folks at the store,
Loved that Teddy Bear...I well remember that nothing was allowed to go bad,
there was so little nothing has time and everything was used in some way..
Very few people did not loose family in that war.. I remember lots of
funerals at our church.. In a small town everybody attended those funerals..

Betty,
The margarine was my first memory also. It used to be my job to mix the
yellow color capsule into the margarine. My grandchildren's response is
"YUK"! Oh how times have changed.
I appreciated the article and all the memories it evoked.

This brought back memories of things I had forgotten. I was born in 1935 and
I remember most of this. But my memory of the first oleo margarine was that
it was white and came in a plastic bag with a capsul of yellow or orange
coloring which you had to break and mix into the margarine. It was some time
before the butter lobby would allow it to be sold with color.

I realize the following might not be directly related to Christmas
research, but bear with me; many of our list members, parents and
grandparents lived during this time.
The following was sent to me by a Christmas List member; it was written by
a WWII Vet; I thought it might be informative to read what our
parents/grandparents went through. I was born in 1939 and the war ended in
1945; some things in the message I do not remember, but it brought back
memories of some things, like the turning off lights, stamps to buy things
- having to save until you had enough for a particular item; sugar being
short, and the beginning of oleo margarine, which I think was an orange
color, and taste terrible - remember, we were accustomed to using butter,
most of it made at grandpa's farm. I remember a few other things, but it
would make the message too long.
Subject: Rules Lived By During World War II
There are those among us who are old enough to remember World War II, but
many are too young to recall those times. For this reason, I have compiled
a listing of some of the sacrifices made by both the military and civilian
population of the United States, and Canada; the temporary suspension of
certain liberties we hold so dear, in order to preserve those very liberties
for future generations. And as you read this list, remember that things were
much, much worse in Great Britain.
THESE ARE THE RULES WE LIVED BY.
>All workers were "frozen" at their jobs. You could not change employment.
Wages and prices were frozen at the 1941 level.
>All road and street signs were taken down. This was to complicate matters
for any enemy spies.
>Speed limits were set at a strict 35 mph. This was to prevent wear to
vehicles, to reduce gasoline and oil consumption, and to reduce wear of

>Gasoline was rationed. Only doctors were permitted extra gasoline,
for they still made house calls.
>Absolutely NO weather reports were broadcast. The enemy could use that
information against us.
>Food was rationed. Each person was issued a ration book containing stamps,
as only a specific amount per person per week was permitted. Red ration
stamps were for meat, eggs, and dairy products. And since this included
butter, oleo margarine was invented. Blue stamps were for all other food
items. Change for purchases was issued in tokens of the same colors.
>SPAM was invented for military ration purposes.
>Cloth and animal hides were rationed. Brown stamps were used for these
purchases. Silk was totally unavailable for civilians, as it was used for
parachutes. So, nylon was invented. There was actually a law passed
limiting the number of yards of material that could be used in women's
skirts. Hem lines went up, up, up. Buy a new pair of shoes? Only if you

them, indicating exactly what items of clothing they could be used for.
>Buy a new car? Forget it!! They did not exist. If an engine, or an

>There was a 10:00 curfew. Only military and emergency personnel were

>There were civilian defense drills, which included total black-outs.
All windows had to have thick, black curtains which could be pulled
down so that absolutely no light could escape outside, and electric
lights were turned off inside as well. The only person permitted outside

precautions were strictly followed. Each household was required to have

It was at this time that we lost our sense of safety due to isolation.
The Atlantic and Gulf Coasts were alive with German submarines. Anything
from a banana boat up was a torpedo target. Here along the Gulf Coast we
were asked to assist the Coast Guard in patrolling the beaches. We were to
search for such things as evidence of buried rubber rafts, which would
indicate that someone had slipped ashore from an submarine during the night;
in other words, spies. The Gulf beaches along Santa Rosa Island were so
black with oil slick, that I though they would never be white again. And
the brown pelican disappeared. The did not return until the 1960's. I can
recall many nights when I was awakened by the distress signals of sinking
ships. And looking from my bedroom window, seeing tracer bullets arcing up
from gun emplacements on the east end of that same island.
So, the changes now taking place in the American way of life are not at
all new to some of us. Therefore, while we are, of course, concerned, we
are not afraid.
May I suggest that as you read this, please add anything I may have
missed, and pass this information on to the younger generations.
We did it before, and we can do it again...

We've got a heck of a job to do,

a.. Pike: The James A. PIKE family shows up in the 1880 Butler County census, Mining City District, having arrived in Kentucky from Tennessee some time between 1868-1870. James is 38, a farmer, born in Tennessee and both parents born in Virginia. His wife Narcissus is 24. She and her mother were born in Tennessee, and her father was born in Texas. Their oldest listed child is Sarah S., 12, born in Tennessee. (Sarah married Richard R. BAXTER on 29 Dec 1881.) The next child is daughter Margarette S. PIKE, 10, born in Kentucky, as are all of her younger siblings, Hiram C., 9; Julia E., 6; Narcissus L., 4; and Alwilda H., 2. There is one other PIKE marriage before 1929 in Butler County, that of Rosa PIKE to Videllie CHRISTMAS on 14 June 1899. Rosa sounds like a woman's name, but is listed in the groom's column. This could be a mistake in the marriage index.
