FROM (around 1949-1950)

MEET COYD AND ANNIE WOLFE

THIS IS MY LATE GRANDPARENTS..

They raised three daughters and two sons, and a granddaughter.

MY GRANDDAD DIED AROUND 1953 AND GRANNY DIED 1974

THEY FARMED FOR A LIVING, AND GRANDDAD PEDDLED HIS FARM GOODS.

THEY WERE LIVING UP RICHPATCH WHEN THEY BOTH PASSED AWAY. (well, Granny had went in a nursing home shortly before she died, in WAYNESBORO)

I was only a little over 7 when Granddad died, we had went to town that day for candy for trick or treater's (on Halloween) and when we got back home he had died, cutting wood.. (it was his heart) He worked hard on the farm, from sunup to sundown, and plowed with a horse named Topsy, and he had a lot to plow. They also had an orchard and raised apples, peaches, pears, and plums. Granny worked just as hard in the house, and doing her chores and laundry, she canned everything she could. She raised chickens too, and they had milk cows and raised hogs.

One thing I remember about Granddad was that he was real superstitious. He believed things like if you came in one door, you had to leave the same way when you left. If you didn't eat while you were there, you brought trouble to the house. I remember one time I killed a frog, and he 'lit into me' , believing that it made his cow go dry. Breakfast, I remember that he always finished his meal by opening his biscuit on his plate, and pouring coffee on it and eating it. Sometimes he would pour himself a glass of milk, open a raw egg up and put it into his milk and drink it, he said it had something to do with his stomach. The main thing I think of about Granddad was HOW HARD AND CONSTANT HE WORKED.

Granny cooked three meals everyday they were at home. She read her Bible at night, and sometimes read to us. Granny disciplined us more than Granddad did. She too was a very hard worker, and they have both been gone for many, many years.. but memories remain.

The little boy standing beside his dad.. (my great grandfather) is my Granddad Coyd Wolfe.. On my great grandfathers lap is Floyd Wolfe, beside him is his Native American wife Blanche Tucker Wolfe, Stella and Ella (twins in front of her) and Bertie
is the girls name is standing beside my great grandmother.. But I did find out today that the three girls in the back are Mae, Effie, and Emma (from left to right) they are my granddad Coyd's older sisters
Thanks Lori for your help finding out from Mom, we surely appreciate it.. It's such an awesome and wonderful picture.

How Great Thou Art

Pastor Carl Boberg Wrote the Lyrics to How Great Thou Art

The lyrics to How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Refrain

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Refrain

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Refrain

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Refrain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Praise to God for the awesome gift of nature. Who can see all that He has created, and not KNOW there is an awesome God?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prayers for the people of Charleston, and the amazing grace, and forgiveness they have shown. Praying for comfort, and inner peace for each of them and that they feel His perfect love, and the love and sympathy that all of us feel for them at this time. God, please continue to bless, and comfort each and every one of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Praying for todays people, that each of us will realize the purpose of family, heritage, love, and deep honest respect for one another. Help us Lord to all re-learn RESPECT and compassion for each other, no matter who they are, closeness or not, we can still feel and show compassion and respect for one another. It seems that a lot of people (of all ages) have no respect for anyone or anything. Some are so self centered, others don't even respect their own lives and being?? In order to truly love each other, one must find a true respect and love even for themselves. It seems to be the second step of sooo many needed in order to help things get back to where they once were. The first step needs to be to draw people closer to You and help them to see what many of todays carefree way of lives has done to the people of this world. Father, we all need to put You first in our lives, and truly love, and respect one another. And we thank You for all You do, giving You the praise, honor, and glory, in Jesus name, amen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Praying for you and yours that God will wrap His loving, arms around each of us and bless us all spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, and with His love, forgiveness, mercies, guidance and an answer to a secret "unspoken prayer" that each of us have, so that you will know that it truly is a "God thing, and from Him only". Praying for all the sick, the hurting, the lonely and the grieving. That He will touch each of you in a mighty way with His loving, healing hand, and you will feel His presence, and blessings of health, comfort, guidance or whatever is needed. Praying for our soldiers, their safety, their comfort, His guidance, and inner peace for each of them, and their families. Praying for our country, and it's leaders that they will feel His guidance and do His will for our country and it's people. And giving sincere thanks, love, honor, praise and glory to Him for all of His wonders, His compassion and love for each of us, for nature, and the many, many daily, constant blessings He gives us, in Jesus Holy name, amen.
