Indian Roots

Legend has it that most of the women in my family were Cherokee. Tracing them has proved almost impossible. Any idea as to the origin of the first name Armieo? My great-great grandmother Armieo Lowe was born 1812 in N.C. Family called her Anny or Anna.

I tried the Carmel or (Caramel) Cake and Icing! It is fabulous! The only change I will make on the next cake, is to double the icing. The icing covered between layers and on top. It was so good I needed more of that great Carmel Icing.

Question from Jennifer:
Entertainment

Prior to the invention of television, or at least it's appearance in the common household, what was a typical source of entertainment for a family in the evening? And what would children typically do, whereas these days they may be playing video games?

The word Legacies to me has many definitions. So After some research. These are some I found.

1.) Memories passed down by word of mouth.

2.) To be remembered.

3.) What one leaves behind.

This is a copy of a correspondence from Milton Long to FTW:

The Cook and Bakers School was at Post Headquarters Area. This was called the “Armored Forces School.” It included Signal, Mechanics, and other support training. I worked with Lt. John Harley who was in charge of the Motorcycle School.

When I was at Post HQ I would eat in the enlisted students mess. They used the students from the Cook and Bakers School to work in this mess as on the job training.
