A look at Dec. 1922 in Afton

Star Valley Independent Dec 29, 1922

Found this copy in the Wyoming Newspaper Project site.  The "Daddy Long Legs" Play has many actors we recognize, including Martha.  If my dates are right, Bev would be a toddler about this time, there would be the 5 older kids at home.  The family would have been living in the white house on the place at the mouth of Graveyard Canyon.

 If you visit the newspaper site, check out the 1901 Star Valley Pioneer.  W. H. Kennington is selling lime at the Tithing Office.  Why the Tithing Office instead of at his farm?  Is lime just for outhouses?  I'd love to know more about his side jobs, you know,  the little details we drop off histories but which give us a more rounded look at their life. 

Well, that's about it for 2012...

Thanks everyone who commented, emailed or dropped a line.  

We appreciate this year's adventures discovering our Kennington and Weber heritage and we are grateful to those who made them possible.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

and 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The old Kennington House is no more

Thought you might like a final look at the old Kennington house site on the Swift Creek Road. The lot hasn't looked like that in 107 years.   Time marches on...

Can't make comments...

I've been told the site won't let comments happen.  I'm going to fix that right now.  If it continues please let me know.
