Hey friends. Let me know if you’re interested. 💙

As we hiked along and near the Tippecanoe River ye

As we hiked along and near the Tippecanoe River yesterday, the Potawatomi people were on my mind the entire time. It is their land. We were hiking on their land. We Americans need to remember we live on stolen land. We do. We must now honor the people of the past, and honor the people of the present. This land is their land. It was so humbling to stand alongside the river and imagine how it was not so long ago... how it should still be. And yet, there we were, my husband and I descendants of early Indiana pioneers. I may be proud of the brave spirits of my ancestors, but the consequences of their actions and what they were a part of is not lost on me... however I am often now at a loss for words, and I think that’s okay. Prayer and contemplation is a part of family history for me. Lord, hear our prayer.

We went hiking in northern Indiana today, and stopped by to find a few ancestors’ graves on the way. Samuel & Elizabeth Shaffer Smith are my husband’s great-great-great grandparents. They are buried at Pipe Creek Union Cemetery in Cass County, Indiana. #cemetery #snowycemetery #indianacemetery #ancestors #genealogy #familyhistory #indianasnow #pioneercemetery #casscountyindiana #indianahistory

Have you read Katie’s book ‘When Mother Read Aloud’? It’s based on the memoir of her great-great-great grandmother, Almyra King Holsclaw. Here’s a photo from the back of the book of Katie with her grandma Mary, who remembered Almyra from when she was a little girl, and told Katie all about her. Almyra lived her whole life in Jennings County, Indiana and her memoir tells all about pioneer life. Find it on Amazon, and be on the lookout for an announcement of a YouTube video of Almyra’s biography! 🥰 #familyhistory #genealogy #jenningscountyindiana #indianahistory #memoir #childrensbooks #savefamilyphotos #childhoodmemories #familyphoto #grandma #hoosierfamily
