Milt Patton 1937-2015

My friend Kim's dad passed away the day after Thanksgiving. Here is his obituary. He was with Kim and Sarah and they had enjoyed the feasting together on Thursday.

The whole Patton family circa 1971

Known to some of us that loved him by his Mary Anne given Shaker name, Irascible, Milt was a Father and Grandfather, a genealogist, and just generally an interesting guy. He stopped by the house frequently, proud to show off what his boy had designed to anyone visiting from out of town. He took long road trips to explore whatever historic themes were of interest to him at that time, sometimes taking a grandchild along. He ran for Congress in the late 80's. We took Eleanor to a fund raiser and he got a photo op holding the baby. Wish I had a picture of that.

Milt came with us to encampment at Lake Muscoka. He loved educating us on the history of the logo in the clock on the wall.

Eben & Milt

The memorial service will be held at Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden, Georgetown, KY on Dec. 12, 2015, at 1:30 p.m.

The last of the siblings

Dorcas Noel Hollingsworth Wiedemann passed away on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th at 88 years old. Here is her obituary. She joins husband Jefferson, her four brothers (including TGP), and her parents Denzil & Polly.

Although Alzheimer's disease took away her ability to recognize even family, nothing ever took away her smile.

Her love of horses was highly influential in the family move to the Bluegrass, and the Hollingsworth clan has been here ever since.

She baked bread in the kitchen at the Holly's, and my brother Dunn always said how much he liked it because she put fresh on it.

We will always miss Aunt Dorcas
