In Memory of Anna Evans

Religion

I had never seen my Grandmother’s obituary before because I couldn’t read when I was five-years old. My Father-in-law found this on a genealogy website.

Mrs. Anna Evans, of 1520 Center St., Ashland, died at her home at 7 am Saturday. She was born in Girardville March 17, 1915, a daughter of the late DeLance and Laura (Wagner) Jones.

She was a former resident of Locustdale. Mrs. Evans was previously hospitalized.

She was a member of Bethany Evangelical Church, Ashland and the Auxiliary to the Prince of Peace Commandery 39, Ashland. Surviving are her husband, Warren, a daughter, Laura, wife of James Trommetter, of Coopersburg; a sister, Mrs. Alice Horbach, of Ashland; two grandchildren, one nephew.

Services will be held Tuesday morning at the Kull Funeral Home with Rev. H. David Albright of Bethany Church officiating; interment in Christ Church Cemetery, Fountain Springs.

Vote for the Most Inspiring Person of 2007

Religion
There are a lot of good candidates this year. The front-runner right now is the professor who threw himself in front of a killer’s bullets at VT last spring. A U.S. Soldier and Tony Dungy also caught my eye when I read over the list.

Christians Fighting Back

Education Religion

When school administrators wimp out and cave in to the ACLU it’s a shame.  I applaud these students for standing up to the ACLU and the judge.  We need more civil disobedience like this from students.

Judge Blocks Prayer, Students Defy Judge’s Order

The senior class at a southern Kentucky high school gave their response Friday night to a federal judge’s order banning prayer at commencement.

About 200 seniors stood during the principal’s opening remarks and began reciting the Lord’s Prayer, prompting a standing ovation from a standing-room only crowd at the Russell County High School gymnasium.

The thunderous applause drowned out the last part of the prayer.
