I received a pleasant call from an 86 year old relative who is one of Aunt Emmer and Uncle Cage McNatt’s grandaughter to Betty and Jeremiah Looper.

My 86 year-old friend got away before I was able to get her name, but she promised me that she was going to send me a bunch of Cherokee history of the settlers of Onega. She said she was working real hard to get family facts together and she would be sharing it with me soon. So we all have this information to look forward to in the future.

She said that when she receives her Town Charter in the mail, she goes straight to the week’s edition of "Talk From Under The Tipi." She also told me that she reads every word in the paper and has saved every edition since its firs publication.

I will be sharing more of the family facts as this dear friend releases it to me.

In the meantime, I have been printing some of Hazel Shelton’s collections. They are as follows:

October 4, 1890 – W.P. Parker, of Sandtown, bought a corner lot off L.N.Edwards and erected a business house on it. W.L. Zumwalt, an Aubrey lumberman lives at Sandtown but has bought the Methodist parsonage and will move his family here soon.

Mary Tatum will teach at Martin’s school house this winter.

Crawford brothers have added drawers to the shelves of their business.

Mr. Parker is having a store house built. Crawford Brothers and J.L. Parker are putting brick pavement in front of their business. W.L. Rector will run Parker store here and Parker will run the old one on Elm.

Aubrey’s Post Receipts reached 250 again this year.

W.E. Kelly had a boy Wednesday night and woke the town shouting.
