Comments on OLD Posts

You may have just found CV Memories or you may be looking at old posts on this blog.  However, posting comments to old articles almost insures that no one will see them.  Most of us do not go back very far when reading the blog!

So, if you have something new to say about an old article (more than 2 months old), the best way is to post a new article and refer to the old one by name and date. 

This just came in as a comment to the "More about Hooser" post from May 11, 2011.

"I have a mirror that I picked up in Wichita this week that has C W Meldrum Cedar Vale, KS on the back of it. Not sure if someone is interested in purchasing it before I post it on Craigslist - not trying to use this as a way to sell my junk but thought it was kinda cool when I picked it up (we live in Sedan). Searched online and found this blog. Would be cool for it to go back where it came from... "

Well, my sister just sent this comment thread to me. I see it's dated 2008, so I wonder if anyone will respond. I am a grandchild of Mildred Fisher's. She was, indeed, the splendid singer you all heard at church. She went on to marry my wonderful grandfather, Alfred Charles Curtiss, of Ness County. She passed away at a young age of cancer, leaving my father, John, and my aunt, Carol. Mildred is buried in the cemetery there in Cedar Vale. Dad and I took a trip some years back when I lived in Kansas City to see his mother's grave. Both of Mildred's children inherited Aunt Kate's house when she passed. Dad and I visited C.V. more than a decade ago to see her grave and catch up with family he'd not seen in many decades. He'd not been back since his mother's funeral when he was a teenager. Aunt Kate's house paid for him to go to medical school where he trained to become a pediatrician. It also paid for my aunt to go to college to become a teacher. I would hope that the family (much distressed by the will at the time of Kate's passing) would be proud to know that the money was put towards making the world better through the children of sweet Mildred. Dad has had a superb run as a doctor to little children. I'd like to think Kate would be immensely proud of that.
