Subject: The Kevil Family Cookbook
The publishing company in Iowa has notified me that the final revisions are
being made to The Kevil Family Cookbook, and it is scheduled for shipment
during the first week in November - just in time for Christmas. The cookbook
is titled: "Home Cooking With The Kevils - The Kevil Family Cookbook." The
purpose of the cookbook is to help raise funds for the maintenance and upkeep
of the old Kevil family cemetery outside of Princeton, Kentucky. All profits
from the sale of this cookbook will go to the maintenance and repair work on
the family cemetery for the next several years. By purchasing this cookbook,
you will help maintain the dignity of the cemetery where our pioneer family
members are buried and also preserve history. The cost of the cookbook is
only $9.50 plus $1.50 for mailing costs for a total of $11.00 per cookbook.
The cookbook contains 200 recipes submitted by forty-six Kevil family members
in thirteen states and England, including several recipes from old cookbooks
of eight deceased family members. In addition to the wonderful recipes, the
cookbook will contain a dedication page, a brief family history, and several
old photos of Kevil family members from the 1850s. The cookbook will also
have a large section on cooking tips and household hints. I’m confident there
will be something for everyone - collected and bound together in one volume.
The cemetery was established on the Kevil farm in the early 1800s, and
several of the pioneer Kevil family members are buried there. During the past
25-years, the cemetery had fallen into a state of disrepair, and was
overgrown with weeds, brush and trees. Donations were taken-up at the last
family reunion in 2001 to remove all the weeds and overgrowth and restore the
dignity of the family cemetery. Twenty-eight headstones were discovered after
the cemetery was cleaned up, of which four were unreadable. We now face the
task of maintaining the old family cemetery, and not let it become run-down
or in a state of disrepair again.
I know this cookbook project, with your help, will be very successful, and it
will raise the funds needed for maintenance and upkeep of the old Kevil
family cemetery. I hope you will order one cookbook for yourself and several
additional books as gifts for friends, family members, daughters in-law, and
associates where you work. They will make a great Christmas gift. Please fill
out the attached order form and return it with a check or money order. Make
checks payable to: T. H. Kevil.
Thank you for your help with this fund raising project, and I know you will
enjoy and use this attractive looking cookbook for years to come. Your
efforts and contributions are very much appreciated. Please feel free to

Sincerely,
