]]> Comment on The Murdocks’ Paradise Friendly Home by Mike Jacobs http://www.jacksonpurchasehistory.org/2010/01/17/the-murdocks-paradise-friendly-home/comment-page-1/#comment-2863 Mike Jacobs Fri, 23 Sep 2011 20:41:08 +0000 http://www.jacksonpurchasehistory.org/?p=223#comment-2863 Sorry, ended the previous reply too quick, (computers). I have really GREAT memories of the home, and L.W...., and of course Mrs. Murdock. Her flaming red hair, always tied up in a tight bun, really was a beautiful person, and a great help on everything we needed. Sadly, I have just noticed on the search i have been doing thru the net, that L.W., and his mrs. have passed on. I really am sad about this, as he was the father that i never had, and she the mother and sister that i never saw. I had the pleasure of meeting both his children and can only say that they were and probably still are, the exact doubles of their mom and dad. (personality wise/helpfullness). I dont have the full names of everyone there, while at the home, but a bell rings in my head about Ray J. and his sisters. One that has been mentioned here already, Brenda (?), but the real charmer was Joyce J. That gal could charm a snake out of its hiding spot. Another lady (hopefully this is spelled correctly), by the name of betty B. (dont want to put last names here due to the security of the net)....she was Ray's lady friend while i was there. (real long story to that time frame). I wont babble on any further, as i know there are limits to everything, but if anyone wants to contact me: email is mjacobs9649@gmail.com (have this to sort out the spam). once i get an email from you, will pass on any information that i can remember. It has been a long time, and a lot of oceans since I left the home. Be well. Stay safe. mike jacobs Sorry, ended the previous reply too quick, (computers).

Very glad to see this site, as i have been wondering over the years how everyone was doing, or what had become of them. I am originally from Topeka, Kansas, and have returned after a 40 year trip around the globe. (20 while in the navy, the rest various places related to jobs).

My family is from Mayfield and Graves County, and my great great grandfather served as a Captain with the 7th Kentucky Vol. Infantry and was wounded as Shiloh. His unit started the war as the Felicianna Invincibles - it's be interesting to read about the pre-war preparations on both sides, the Home Guard and organization of militia forces into actual military units. Great stuff, and keep up the good work. -Ed McAlister Excellent collection of articles.
