Stan with his arms stretched out was saying that at a previous TSGS meeting, he had been interrupted by a new young security guard because it was almost 8 PM, the normal closing time for the library. The guard asked everyone to leave in 5 minutes... the librarian and I quickly informed the guard that we were conducting a meeting and he just interrupted the guest speaker. We also told him that we generally ran over about 1/2 hour over the normal closing time. The security guard was nick-named "Skippy" by several un-named TSGS members! Stan then quickly wrapped up his program in a few minutes, although he had about 15 to 20 minutes more to finish. Everyone present enjoyed Stan's program very much and wanted him to return "to finish the war!"
As Stan is speaking those in attendance were listening very closely. Stan is a good speaker with an interesting subject. He finished the war for us and everyone enjoyed his program very much! We ended with having two very good programs from Stan Schmitt. Thanks, Stan!
Photo of the audience for Stan's program... a few present are not shown (they were seating just right of the edge of this picture). TSGS President Don Counts is to the left of this photo with Mrs. Browning seated at the other end of the same table (lower center).

This Kentucky Historical Marker is in front of Three Forks of Bacon Creek Baptist Church and the cemetery there. The "Hammondsville Cemetery" at this church is where he is buried. [Click on photos to get larger images.]
Above is Joseph Timberlake's military stone, below is a special monument placed next to his stone with a flagpole nearby.
Below you can see his special marker & the flagpole a very short distance from the grave of Clarasa Cruse (daughter of Prosser Cruse & Sarah Frances Ferguson). This is a good sized cemetery, with at least 682 markers, that contains over 70 of my Cruse family including Prosser & Sarah Frances, my 3rd. great grandparents!
