A Tribute to Dad
I always felt he was my best friend. I could tell him anything, and he would understand. We still miss him so much, and he has been gone 18 years.

My Dad Was a Farmer Submitted by Rachel Miller
My dad was a farmer all his life until he was too old to do the work. He always worked hard, and with only one boy in the family, we girls had to help a lot. There were five of us. We always helped milk cows, feed chickens, etc. We’d go out in the field and pull mustard. Dad would be there with the horses and wagon. We hoed rows of corn, helped make hay and husked corn by hand. Mom used to say dad should get a hired man to help, but he never did.
My Father
Submitted by William Bender Well, dad was born in Summerset, Pa. on Aug. 7, 1906. Later he moved to Lancaster, Pa. and, then, on to Dover, Del. After he married, they moved to Ohio. The last 50 years or so of his life, he lived in Huntsburg. I don’t think his heart ever left the mountains of Pennsylvania, his childhood home. He died at the age of 93, and his heart was still in Summerset.
4 3/4 cups warm water 4 tablespoons yeast 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons salt 3/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons honey or 1/4 cup brown sugar 12 cups flour Dissolve the yeast in 3 cups of the warm water in a large bowl. Set aside. Vigorously whip rest of warm water, the sugar (or honey), the salt, oil, and 4 cups of the flour with a whisk. Then add to yeast mixture. Add the rest of the flour, 2 cups at a time, beating between each addition. Cover and let rise until double. Shape loaves and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
