A time to read
by Jacquie Foote
“Mother’s Musings and More” written by Lovina E. Miller was published by Carlisle Printing, Sugarcreek, Ohio, copyright 2010. Only eighty six pages long, this delightful little book contains the thoughts … and prayers … of an Amish Mom, busy with the joys and challenges of being a mother as well as a grateful and loving daughter and sister. Expressed in rhyme, concerning joy or loss or feelings of failing, in English or Deutch, Lovina’s thoughts are filled with a serenity that can only be attributed to the One she calls her “purest
Many of the writings are prayers or meditations worthy of being read and reread as pointers to acceptance of and an active participation in the special plan God has for each one of us. Lovina divides her Musings into 9 sections. Sketches, simple and fitting, are sprinkled throughout and there are pages for readers to record musings of their own. The table of contents shows the important times in our lives … the times when we most often need to think on our journey through this life. Never preachy, never “puffed up”, Lovina’s words tell of the ways she has found to Treasure”.
pray that God will guide her way. Perhaps because good food makes for a happy tummy which, in turn, frees the mind for meditation, Lovina’s eighth section, the one right before “Index”, is “Recipes” which includes a great recipe for baked meatballs, “baking hints” and even a recipe for liquid plant food! This book is perfect for women and girls who are trying to live … or who are interested in learning about living … a Christian life. It is a book to own. (To do so, contact Mrs. Lovina E. Miller, 8350 Girdle Rd., Middlefield, Ohio, 44062)
A time to listen
Tell Me a Story - Mother Knows Best In the chimney of a large fireplace in which was a boiling saucepan full of something savory, a whole family of flies were assembled. From the inviting stew arose a steady column of steam. A little fly said to his mother, “Oh! How delicious! How I should like to fly across the white steam, for, if the smell is so good here on the wall, what must it be to go through the middle of it and have it all rushing around you!” His mother remarked, “You must not think of anything so foolish. The attempt is too dangerous.” “But, why?” said the little fly, somewhat peevishly. “I have noticed,“ said his mother, “that whenever any have attempted to fly through, they have always fallen upon the pot and been killed. And I do not think you would fare any better.” “But, I am strong,” argued the little fly, “and I know that no harm could happen to me.” “Be advised,” said the parent, “mother knows best.”“Does she?” muttered the little fly to himself, “Only wait till I have a chance and we’ll see.” Presently, important matters took the mother away. The attempt was immediately made by the little fly. But, sad to say, the steam was too much for the self-willed fly, strong as he fancied himself, and, as he was breathing his last gasp, he just managed to get out this remark, “Ah! It is quite true, mother knows best.”
by Sarah Miller
Now, there are many boys and girls like that little fly. I have seen such children and I have heard, too, the sulky remarks when father or mother requested something to be done. “Oh, but I don’t want to do that.” Or there is the twist of the shoulder that says as plain as words can say, “I wish you would let me alone and let me have my own way and not be so particular.” But many have found that they must admit, “Oh, if only I had done as Mother said!”
A time to see!

Strawberry Slush
Vinegar Hints:
From Cindy Byler, Hillsboro, Ohio Submitted by Nancy Miller
Add 1 teaspoon vinegar to cold water used to make the dough. Add 1 cup vinegar to the rinse water for nice fluffy clothes. A Japanese study showed that mixing 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a daily drink for 12 weeks significantly lowered abdominal (belly) fat.
2 large cans frozen orange juice 2 large cans frozen lemonade 2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple 3 quarts strawberries, chopped 3/4 cups sugar 2 liters 7-Up Mix all together and freeze. (Strawberry season is here, it’s good to make and freeze this to have for the warm summer days.)

Greetings from Garrettsville By Rachel Miller
June 3, 2012: We had a few sprinkles this morning and scattered showers yesterday. Friday, it rained off and on all day. Twas a much needed rain. We got 3/4 of an inch of rain. The garden is growing, but the beans need to be replanted as only two or three plants came up. I still have a package of squash seeds to plant and a few celery plants to put in that I started. We had a couple meals of strawberries, but my plants are 3 years old and won’t give as many. So, we want to buy some for freezer jam. We finished our spring-cleaning for now, except that Ivan and I want to paint the basement floor yet. We did the kitchen this week. Tuesday, we attended the funeral of a good friend, Albert J.P. Miller. He was 76 years old. He had cancer, but only knew it for a short time. Barbara is going to her friend Marie’s with her group of girls this afternoon. Marie’s sister, Ruth, 45, died about a month ago. They found her in bed one morning. They did not know she was sick.

We were asked to go along on the eighth grade trip from Tinkers Creek School on Wednesday to West Virginia to Cabala’s Store and to a prison. It would be interesting, but we will have to pass, as we have too much going on. Thursday, we are invited to the wedding of Mose, son of Mrs. Mose Miller and Shirley daughter of Danny Troyers. Monday, I have an appointment with a foot doctor in Ravenna. I have a sore toe and have had it for a while. Otherwise, we are in fairly good health. Ivan has arthritis in his back. Wednesday evening, we are going to Atlantic, Pa. to visit brother-in-law Dan J. Byler who was in the hospital with blood clots in his lungs. He was home a couple days, but had breathing problems and was back in for a biopsy of the lungs and swollen lymph nodes. Going with us are brother Ervins, sister Albert Detweilers and Mose Millers. Barbara was also to the funeral of Albert J.P. Miller.

Greetings from the Plain Community
June 2, 2012: On a day that started bright and sunny, in the happy time of summer, after one of the main topics was how dry it is, God sent us an all day “down pour� yesterday! Last night was one of the biggest benefit auctions we’ve seen at Sawmill Joe’s Shop and I bet Joe is still scratching his head! The benefit was for Aden and Nancy Yoders on Clark Road. His parents from Kentucky, Joe and Betty Yoders and all their family planned the big event. Other workers included the Yoders, Hostetlers and many more hard working volunteers! God bless them all. We are so thankful to report Aden and Nancy and daughter Marcia were able to move back to their home, Nancy feels good enough to do some of her work. Let’s pray she keeps improving. Mrs. Daniel (Martha) Fisher had nice surprises for when she turned 70 on Wednesday. Mrs. Daniel Junior, Sara Ann of Guys Mills, picked up some of us and treated her out. Going were Mrs. Crist J. S. Barbara Ann, Mrs. Nelson Barb Miller, Mrs. Marvin Sara Jane Detweiler, Jenny Susan Byler and myself. Mrs. Milo Mary Detweiler is caging an unusual butterfly. Its beautiful wings spread out to 6 inches. Rare in this area, it is called the Giant Silkworm Moth (Cecrapia) and is the largest moth found in North America. She found it in their yard! Joey and Mary Esther Detweiler hosted a family birthday celebration for her Mom, Widow John Gingerich Ada of Burton, who turned 79. They have 17 children, so it was a big family gathering. David and Ann Stoltzfus are the happy parents of a baby boy named Dannie. Does your hat still fit, Dannie? (David and Dannie are twins.) The grandparents are Emanuel and Maryann Stoltzfus and Jonas (Woody) and Sadie Gingerich. We greatly enjoyed Robert and Sue Gingerich of Kentucky lodging here two nights
June 2, 2012: We are all so thankful for our recent rains. The gardens were planted and we were short on moisture. We were watering the plants and the rain barrel was empty; so now what! Do not like to use well water. And then the rains came! We are thankful for the farmers, as the first crop of hay was short and thin with plenty of weeds. Now, we can expect a better second crop! Sunday, May 27, we attended church as Aaron Yoders, in the Andy Byler district. On the way home, we stopped for a visit at Elwin and Linda Troyer’s. Elwin had a pacemaker put in lately and does feel better. His heartbeat was slow and he also has A-FIB, so he is scheduled for a cardioversion on June 13. We hope this will put his heartbeat back in order. Weddings are throughout the community in the summertime. We attended the wedding of Marty Miller and Leanna Coblentz at Leroy. A good day with good food and meeting old and new friends. June 5, we are invited to two weddings on the same day. One will be at Bill A. J. Bylers and one at Ray Slaubaughs. Time will tell if we can attend one ‌ or maybe both? We had an enjoyable trip to Indiana on May 18 for a visit with my sister Kathryn and husband John. Kathryn is from St. Ignatius, Mont. They came in for their grandson’s wedding. Traveling together were Elwin Weavers, Crist R. Hershberger’s, Robert J. Millers, Crist S. Yoders, Eli Katie, sister Ada, Sally Byler and sister Kathryn’s daughter Emma. Amzie from Missouri also joined us. Kathryn is my oldest sister and whenever we meet we always have to wonder if this is the last time we will meet on this earth.

Katherine’s
last week, going to Mespo one day to buy our dinner where sister Crist Ida and daughters David Marianne and Marvin Ester and Marty Lori Detweiler joined us! Roberts came up for the wedding of his nephew, and also to put in the gravestone for his mother, Bill Gingerich Ella. Our Visiting Group visited with Widow Andy Hostetler Katie on Hayes Road She’s 81 years old and still looks so young and spry! She lives alongside her son David and Linda who joined us. Yogi Mary Ann was missing, recovering from knee surgery. Two vanloads from here went to Atlantic, Pa. to sing for Miriam Dan’s Ray’s, his Mother Miriam recently passed away. Firman Wengerds got up a load and then, there was our load. Our sympathy to the Bishop (Tillie) Albert Miller Family since Albert passed away. He will be greatly missed, being a Bishop for 34 years. Tillie’s address is 9719 N. Girdle Road, Middlefield, OH, 44062. As long as I remember, they always lived at this same place. He worked with our girls at Signum Inc. and was always a quiet sincere man and a good example. Also our sympathy to the family of Yost J. Byler, age 91, who passed away last week. Although they never had children, they had many friends and relatives. John and Sue Troyers on Newcomb Road miss their Mother, Albert Troyer Katie (who lived in the same house with them) since she passed away. Visiting them Sunday evening was Bill Stutzman, Bobby and Nancy Fishers, Rudy and Laura Hostetlers, Widow Punch Mandie Miller and grandsons Wayne and Wally, Danny and Lydia Troyer, Marvin and Mindy Troyer, John Martha Troyer and us. Next week will be busy with the wedding at Danny and Mary Troyers on Wilcox Road for their daughter Shirley. My daughter Leah and I both cook. There are also many other weddings we are invited to and would love to attend.

It’s a busy world; can’t sit back and watch it go by! Housecleaning time ‌ if it would just stay clean for a while. And we’re going to weddings (always interesting) and, also, a day of garage sale-ing ‌ men included. We traveled to Atlantic, Pa. with the Dan C. Bylers and their Ray and wife Betty, the Crist J. S. Millers, the Dan P. Hostetlers, and the Enos Detweilers to a gathering at Mrs. Ed (Mary) Yoders, on a Saturday recently. Our wedding anniversary number 46 came and went with little fanfare. Robert J. Kurtz was born 6 weeks after we wed. Now, he and his wife just celebrated 23 years of marital bliss. His wife is the former Erma Byler. Don and Peg Mullenax say their years together add up to 44. Both of ours are on June 9. I read somewhere to pull out all your rhubarb stalks on the longest day (June 20), and then it will grow back profusely. Now, if the Post comes that day, it will be a reminder and we can try that! An Art Form Nursery employee, AKA Laura Detweiler, has been helping me set my plants in order. She’s come up with the scientific names for most of them, pronouncing them correctly as well. I am learning, slowly. Okay, coon, chipmunk or whatever! Get off our porch and stay off! We thought we’re safe with railing doors shut, but something came and nibbled on some stuff. We left our doors open one evening and the next morning a grandson’s croc and black hat were both GONE! Wandering dogs do no one any good. Owen W. says, “Don’t count the days to Christmas!â€? but to Bow Season, fine. Okay, not sure, but around 123 days!
Thought for the Day:
“Some people think that it’s holding on that makes one strong, but sometimes, it’s letting go.�
June 4, 2012: We woke to a morning of brilliant sunshine, a perfect summer day. Congratulations to Mose and Mary, first time parents of 4 baby swans at Marty Mast’s pond. June 2 was their arrival date. Enjoying a Bar B Q chicken supper at Bob and Tina Mast’s recently were his folks, John and Barb, Eli, Catherine and Ruthie Yoder, Marty Masts and children, Jake and I. Fishing is being enjoyed at Pymatuning Lake by the menfolk in the area. Grandson Jacob caught a 26-inch walleye on Memorial Day, going with Roy Burkholder (our renter) and both limiting out. John, Mary and Kathryn Slabaugh planned a wedding dinner with help from family and friends and served it to about 60 people Wednesday evening. This was in honor of Dennis Hale, the sole survivor of a shipwreck on Lake Huron in 1966. The Daniel J. Morrell sank on Nov. 29, 1966. Mr. Hale gave a talk on his experience, very touching and interesting. Twenty-eight close friends and shipmates lost their lives on this date. He has written a book aptly named, “Shipwrecked.�For 24 years, he has not been able to talk about his experiences, but finally after telling someone and being encouraged to talk to people, he is able to tell his story. Kathryn met him at Mary Yoder’s Restaurant where she is a waitress and decided that this is an interesting story for friends and neighbors to hear, especially neighbor Alan Ward who, at this time, is captain of a ship on the Great Lakes. Alan invited several other shipmates who were also very interested in hearing this story. We were all privileged to meet with Mr. Hale and enjoyed his story immensely. Thanks Kathryn and Mary for all your efforts! Lots of delicious food was also enjoyed by all. Thursday was a beautiful wedding day for Leanna Coblentz and Marty Miller at the bride’s home, the Leroy and Linda Coblentzs. Marty’s folks are Kate and the late Melvin Miller. Family and friends shared in this special day, with them given in marriage by Bishop Andy L. Yoder at the ceremony at Al and Sara Mae Millers. A delicious dinner for between 300 and 400 people was held at the bride’s home afterwards. Many out-of-towners were included among the guests. They plan to live at the former Dan Gingerich farm on Georgia Road in district 10.

Mom’s Diary
By Barbara Ann Detweiler
Saturday, May 19: Very warm today. We worked in the garden. John, Andrew and Wayne laid plastic, then we went to a greenhouse and got some plants. The children are into playing croquet. They love it, especially when Dad plays with them as he did tonight. Sunday, May 20: To church, then home. Very warm again today. Monday, May 21: 80 degrees. Twas a good day. Everyone cooperated and did their tasks. Tuesday, May 22: Cool for a change. I made playdough for Betty and Norma and they had a ball playing with it. Wednesday, May 23: I sewed some, then picked up 90 pounds of sausage, froze some and canned some more.

Monday, May 28: Memorial Day. Very. Very warm today, almost 90 degrees. Wayne, the four youngest children and I went to the pond. I just watched, though! Andrew is just like a fish in the water. Tuesday, May 29: Andrew started a job piling lumber. Katherine was washing dishes and there was some sour milk in a cup left over from John’s lunch pail. She thought it was ice cream and tasted it. She almost threw up! Wednesday, May 30: Tonight was my turn to go fishing, so Wayne, Katherine, Betty and I went. Betty caught eight and Katherine, four. Fishing has to stop for a while now, because the motor has to be fixed. ď Œ Thursday, May 31: What beautiful days we are having! It’s fun to work in this weather. Friday, June 1: It was very cool this morning, 49 degrees. Brrrr! Saturday, June 2: A normal day with normal work.
Thursday, May 24: A very pleasant day. I finished my sewing project, then did laundry, made supper, planted flowers and more!! That was a lot for me! Wayne and Andrew went fishing after work and came home all smiles. They caught lots of fish. Now, they’ve got fishing fever! ď Š Friday, May 25: 86 degrees today, so Andrew went to the pond tonight. The littles settled for the swimming pool. Had ice cream with strawberries for a bedtime snack. Saturday, May 26: Wayne and the boys went fishing and caught more fish. It’s a good thing we like fish! Sunday, May 27: We got word that Albert J. P. Miller died of cancer last night. Our church ladies are planning to take a noon meal over tomorrow. We went to brother Wallys for supper.

Submitted by Katherine M. Byler Burton, Ohio Oct. 25, 1984 Recently the following visited Mrs. Clem Yoder at Hicksville, Ohio, taking dinner along: the Eli J. Millers, the Joe Joy Yoders, the Albert M. P. Millers, Mrs. Noah Miller (Sarah), Mrs. Mel Miller (Ida) and Mrs. Steve Yoder (Fanny) and several others whose names I missed. The five boys who went hunting in Wyoming came home a week early due to heavy snowfall there. They weren’t ready to come home, but the driver wanted out of the storm. One night the tent collapsed due to heavy snow. (I wonder who those boys were. KMB) Our communion last Sunday was at the Sam Miller home. Visiting were four bishops, Freeman Yutzy of West Union, the Dan J. P. Millers, the Joe A. Gingeriches, Eli S. Yoder and Deacon John H. Kurtz. Next services, on November 4 will be at the Henry Miller home on Mumford Rd. Northeast Troy services were at the Noah N. Hershberger’s last Sunday. Next time, Nov. 4, they will be at the John Schmucker’s. Mrs. Ada Yutzy of West Union attended. She spent Saturday overnight with Amanda Hershberger, where she and her son Freeman expected to be picked up Sunday evening to get home yet that evening. Last week Mrs. John Hershberger (Sadie) had the misfortune of falling and breaking her left arm. She was away from home on a trip with others when it happened, but waited till she was home the next day and went to a local doctor. Our neighbor, H. Clark, finished threshing his oats on October 18. A piece that was sowed the last week in June made 62 bushels per acre. Mrs. John J. Miller

Munson Grocery Store
MIDDLEFIELD ORIGINAL CHEESE CO-OP –Support
By Mrs. Rudy Kathryn Detweiler
Your Local Farmer–
I re-live the “old tomeâ€? moments Almost 70 years of my life, we didn’t live far from the From my childhood days of yore. quaint little historical village of Mesopotamia (the land And in joy I’m once again between two rivers) which is located at the intersection of At that old country store! Route 534 and Route 87, only 2 1/2 miles from us. Many of you can probably still remember the Munson Grocery Store (today, “The End of the Commonsâ€?) back in the 1940s and 1950s. One of the simply joys of my childhood, from age 5 and up, was to go with my Dad to Munson’s where he would buy me a “glassâ€? bottle of orange soda pop for 5 cents. I had to drink it all before leaving the store so he could get the deposit on the bottle. I can still taste that orange soda. My uncle John (Jack) Detweiler and Dad, Noah Detweiler (both gone) farmed the old Ford Place in Middlefield back in the 1940s. They worked hard and loved their Wheaties (27 cents a box at Munson’s) for breakfast, emptying a whole box at one meal with no problem. Mr. Munson used to wear old fashion coveralls with wide suspenders. And Mr. Clark had the shoe store in Mespo with that good leather smell (once the Milo Schlabach place). Both are also now deceased. Thanks to the Shaden family for restoring Ohio’s oldest general store with over 1,000 bulk foods, penny candy and many flavors of hand dipped ice cream. Today, End of the Commons store is a big tourist attraction, nestled as it is in Mespo with its population of 2,600, about 60 percent Amish. The End of the Commons now has a CafĂŠ with a delicious menu to choose from.

Sunday, June 3: Katherine, Betty, Norma and I went to church at brother Joes, then Wayne drove out in the afternoon. Monday, June 4: I went to help get food ready for Wayne’s nephew Chester’s wedding. It was cool most of the day. Tuesday, June 5: Today was Chester and Lorena’s wedding, so I helped with the food. Wednesday, June 6: I went to get some groceries. Thursday, June 7: Wayne and I went to another wedding today. A friend’s son got married. This is the fourth day in a row I’ve been gone from home and I’m so ready for a home day. Hopefully, tomorrow! Sister Elizabeth’s two children, Nathan and Lori, came up to spend a couple of days. Friday, June 8: Yay! A day at home! But it seemed like I had 1001 things to do! Of course, not everything got done, but tomorrow’s another day.

Will try and continue with the minerals and their deficiency symptoms. Remember, this is not medical advice. Potassium = slow reflexes, weakened muscles, impairment of the heart, neurovascular function, edema, water retention, bad circulation, insomnia, chronic fatigue, headaches, swollen glands, tissue anemia and loss of appetite. Sulfur = skeletal disorders, muscle pain, urinary tract disorder, wrinkles, asthma, arthritis, dry skin, infection, migraines, stress, skin disorders, circulatory problems, free radical damage, acne, constipation, back pain, general muscle and skeletal pain. Zinc = acne, body odor, less libido, infertility, birth defects, infections, herpes, anemia, angina, obesity, loss of hearing, smell and taste, loss of hair, hypertension, anorexia, depression, eye disease, PMS, urinary tract infection, stillbirths, bulimia, cavities, thyroid disease, baldness and free radical damage. This is why we supplement with minerals that are naturally ionized, angstrom sized, and water-soluble ‌ the same as you get from fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. These minerals also have to be balanced to each other, such as, so much calcium versus magnesium versus boron versus vitamin A etc. Your body needs over 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids and 3 fatty acids on a daily basis. So our company had made a kit with all the above except for the fatty acids (fish oil) that doesn’t blend well with the minerals. For more information, call about our free seminar coming in August. Until next time, Daniel C. Fisher

Hello from Huntsburg By William Bender June 4, 2012: Is it really time to get this ready? We made a quick trip to Danville, Ohio last Saturday as a good friend of ours passed away, Mrs. William Y. Hostetler. Anna worked for them when she was still a Byler. William is a grandson of the late Tobe Hostetler. Tobe used to live in Geauga County. When they moved to Holmes County, Tobe drove his steam engine all the way from Geauga to Holmes. This must have been in the early 1920s.

Wednesday, May 30: After an early morning walk, I puttered at home, not feeling peppy. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the weather. Or maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lazy. Thursday, May 31: After not getting much sleep, it was good to sleep in my own bed tonight. I did a bunch of letter writing and enjoyed a long phone chat with friend Susan from Pennsylvania. Friday, June 1: How did May go by so fast? Rain and more rain came today and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thankful for it. It surely makes plowing easier for the nephews here. I washed all my curtains and hung them in the basement and then got going on washing the window frames and those ugly crakes. Saturday, June 2: Another challenging work day â&#x20AC;Ś and, when I got home, someone had polished my windows and hung the clean curtains in the living room! Sunday, June 3: This afternoon, we attended the funeral of our brother Melvin, 65, in Kent. Monday, June 4 to Tuesday, June 5: This was a 48 hour work stint and tonight our singing group gathered at the home of Jonas and Carol Miller. I believe it is about 10 months since their son Albert passed away. Wednesday, June 6: This was an uplifting day when 3 great nieces helped spring clean most of my house. Thursday, June 7: Today was pretty normal with the daily duties at work and having the kitchen to myself to bake a batch of rolls. Friday, June 8: A beautiful, sunny morning! A day filled with some baby-sitting, washing screens, and giving a hand here and there. GODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings to all!
Williams moved out of Holmes to Danville in 1964. Anna, as a 17 year old, went with them and stayed 6 weeks. Williams were the first Amish to move to that settlement. Anna worked as a hired girl a lot in Danville. She likes them Danville hills. I better get back to Huntsburg. There are still three weddings here. One is at Bill Bylers on June 5, one at Dan Kauffmans on June 7, and one at Ervin Yoders on June 14. We were in Hastings, Mich. May 29 at Robert Benders. We had a bus to go. Had a real nice day, good food and a good trip. Reuben Emma stayed out there. She went with Joe Kurtzs to Cass City. Not sure when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get home.

Bookmobile News By Jane Attina
Summer time for many of us means more time spent outdoors. If you are an adult that usually means working in the yard or tending to the garden, while children use the time to play games with friends. Temperatures can often reach well into the high 80’s or 90’s and you can become ill from the heat if your body can’t compensate for it and properly cool down. People at highest risk for heat-related illness are the elderly, the very young, people with mental Illness and those with chronic diseases. However, even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if they participate in strenuous physical activities during hot weather. Remember to drink plenty of water and take breaks in the shade to cool off. Reading a few chapters of a library book would be a perfect break in the day. Even animals need some extra care during these hot and humid days. The bookmobile has several new books to help you keep your horse healthy, including: “Treatment of Horses by Homoeopathy” by George MacLeod. “The Whole Horse Wellness Guide: Natural and Conventional Care for a Healthy Horse” by Diane Morgan. “The Complete Equine Veterinary Manual: A Comprehensive and Instant Guide to Equine Health” by Tony & Marcy Pavord. “Complete Horse Care Manual” by Colin Vogel. The bookmobile has a special display this month featuring books by best selling author Linda Castillo. Originally from Ohio where her Amish thrillers are set,
Linda Castillo has written a series of books. Her latest one is set in an Amish community near Geauga County. The book is entitled “Gone Missing” and will be released June 19. The main character, Kate Burkholder, has been the police chief of Painters Mill for about three years. She was born to Amish parents and lived in a one-hundred-year-old farmhouse set on sixty acres of northeastern Ohio’s rich, glaciated soil. She grew up Plain with no electricity, no motorized vehicles. Until the age of fourteen, she was a typical Amish girl; innocent, Godloving, content in the way most Amish children are. Her future, her very destiny, had been preordained by her gender and the religion bestowed to her by her parents. All of that changed on a postcard-perfect summer day when fate introduced Kate to the dark side of human nature. She learned at a formative age that even on perfect, sunny days, bad things happen. Reserve your copy next time you visit the bookmobile or the Middlefield Library. Some of the other titles in the Amish Thriller Series are: “Sworn to Silence: Book One”, “Pray for Silence, Book Two” and “Breaking Silence, Book Three.” Linda Castillo will be making a personal appearance on Monday June 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kent State University Geauga Campus Common Room. There will be refreshments, a book signing and you can meet the author as well as enter a drawing for a free book. This program is presented by the Geauga Council for Arts & Culture and is free to the public.
