My Southern self has zero sense of direction (much to my KS born dad's dismay!) and I would stand there helplessly confused as to which way I was to go... But then I would smugly watch while they tried to figure out whether to tell me to go left or right!! :)NMTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133999292856707962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-50991294991804143922017-03-06T05:44:27.974-08:002017-03-06T05:44:27.974-08:00Someone told me about this blog,so I had to find i...Someone told me about this blog,so I had to find it right away this morning!<br />Lydia Knepp was my grandmother,Emanuel Zehr,my father,and Lydian Helmuth,is my sister. My grandma Lydia had a very interesting life and history, which I'm sure you would be intrigued with. <br />I was so sorry to miss Inspire 2017, several years ago we braved blizzard's and deep snow to get there. Thats how important it is to me! Lol I would love to meet you. We always visit Jonny when we go to Kansas. He called me several weeks ago, on his cell phone! <br />I will have to read more of your writings! I enjoyed,your way with words. PS: I am told if I would sit on my hands,I wouldn't be able to talk!

He was a Schrag. It is still spoken in the region of Switzerland where his ancestors came from. It may also be the name of the region, I'm not sure. So much fun to hear stories from my neighbor, Johnny.

The Lydia you mentioned was my great grandmother. You and I have a mutual grandfather in Eli V. Yoder. The Joe Helmuth, you and mentioned, passed away several weeks ago.
