Tyrone News The historical Presbyterian Church in nearby Philomath is in need of more funds to restore the building. The Preservation Fundraisers Committee, made up of interested residents, is planning a special fundraiser Saturday, September 29. A noon meal of barbecued pork and chicken will be served between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a $7.00 donation. Tickets can be bought by contacting Johnny and Sue Ellen Buckman at 706-274-3228; Lawrence and Annette Nash at 706- 274-3745; or Sonny and Linda Bryan at 706-274-3582. The meal will be served at the Buckman Barn, 2362 Crawfordville Road near the middle of Philomath on Highway 22 between Crawfordville and Lexington, near the church. Your support will be greatly appreciated. A reminder that a bridal shower for Andie Moody will be Saturday afternoon, September 15, 2-4 p.m., in the fellowship hall of Phillips Mill Baptist Church. Everyone is welcomed. Andie is one of our faithful young ladies at Phillips Mill. A lot of sad things happened in our area over the weekend. Among them were the deaths of Ben Smith and Aubrey Tyler. Ben was the grandson of Edward and June Combs Smith of Washington and great-grandson of Hazel King Combs and the late Dorsey Combs of Phillips Mill. Aubrey was the husband of Clarice Combs Fanning Tyler of Carters Grove Baptist Church and uncle of Mickey Sisson and Faye McAvoy of Phillips Mill. Dorsey was Clarice's first cousin. Sincere sympathy to all. Mrs. Mary Nell Denard had a nice 94th birthday Sunday, August 26. She appreciates all the nice and pretty cards, nice cake, and love shown by so many. Her children, Cloyd and Brenda Denard, and neighbors, Margaret Edwards, Dolores McAvoy, Wade and Anne Palmer, have been extra nice and faithful to check on her. Visiting Mrs. Denard on a recent Sunday were her oldest grandson Donald and his wife Amy and their three boys of Augusta. She has sowed many good seeds over the years in the Tyrone community and Phillips Mill Baptist Church. I will always cherish and remember all of her encouragement and faithfulness. I miss being able to visit her. I do believe when I was growing up and even in my adult years if I had tried to stand on my head Mrs. Denard would have clapped for my effort. That's love. Thank you, Miss Nell. We want to welcome into our community, B.J. and Heather Peacock and sons, Tommy and Levie. They recently moved into the house on Sandy Cross Road where the late Glenn and Agnes Amason Hackney lived for many years. It is located between Johnny and Rhonda Newberry and Margaret Edwards. Mrs. Edwards enjoyed a visit with B.J., Heather, and the boys Saturday. Clint Edwards of Lexington, S.C., spent Labor Day with his mother, Margaret Edwards, and enjoyed some of her cooking. Visiting them that afternoon were her brother, Leon Wyatt, and his wife Evelyn of Thomson. They had enjoyed Crawfordville's 21st annual Labor Day Fair. Mrs. Mabel Workman had a nice 92nd birthday on Labor Day, September 3, with all of her family dropping by Thomson Manor Health Care over the weekend, and on her birthday. She, like many, has pretty good days and some not as well, but her sweet smile welcomes you. Many of us remember how jolly she has been over the years and how faithful she was working caring for family members of the years. Now since her family can't care for her at home they still continue to do their best on meeting her needs. Visitors of Dan and Mildred Nunn McAvoy and son, Jerry McAvoy, have been her brother, Warren Nunn, and his wife Lois, Gloria Hardy, Benji McAvoy, Billy McAvoy, and Larry McAvoy, and children Dorothy Ann and Jimmy Saxon and their daughter Donna. Lee Maxwell and friend, Jason Paris, of Atlanta visited his parents, Morrison and Priscilla Maxwell, Sunday morning before attending a meeting at Rock Eagle near Eatonton. His sister, Mary Jane Scarborough, and her son Tyler joined them after Sunday School and all followed each other to have lunch in Crawfordville. We enjoyed lunch at what used to be Bonner's Cafe, across from the courthouse. The new owners have done a lot of remodeling which includes a nice side ramp for walking or wheelchair with strong railing to the entrances. The new name is Country Cooking. They are open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch, and the evening meal. They have daily specials and a choice menu. Morrison enjoyed a breakfast meal. We got to see a lot of friends. It was a nice outing but this old gray mare and mule was glad to get back home. Remember. God loves you. | |||||
