We have been told by many of our readers that the CSM Mailbox is the first thing they read when they open a new issue. We certainly love getting swamped with tons of your letters and consider every one for publication. We want to hear from you so keep those letters coming! While you’re at it, include a photo and we’ll publish it along with your letter. Be sure to include your phone number and complete mailing address. If your letter is chosen for publication in a future issue, you'll receive a free one-year subscription to Cecil Soil Magazine.* Sincerely yours, P.S.— We've provided a simple and convenient form that you may use, if you wish. January/February 2012 Dear Ed, Carol, Brett and all of the staff of Cecil Soil Magazine, I want to say thank you many times for the beautiful and thoughtful way that you presented the wonderful story of the Lost Mural of Rowlandsville Church, and about the minister who took the time to share his talent, and honor his Lord by giving his blessed image to his congregation and all of the community. When I opened the book and saw the beautiful image restored from the photo for all to see, I cried, and I don’t cry easily. The image and photo came from the daughter of the man and woman who tenderly cared for the Chapel for many years, until they were unable to do so. Mike and Helen McCardel were very special people who loved the churches and were a very important part of the history along with Marguerite Z. Montgomery and many other members of the church. I could not have known the story of these churches without the support and encouragement from Marguerite and her family. Walt and I only had a small part in bringing the images and words of these special people to you. I know the spirits of these wonderful people are smiling tonight. God Bless, Jane, that was a beautiful story you put together, researched for all the people of Cecil County to enjoy. If it was not for you this small piece of Cecil County history would have been lost for all time. Thank you, Jane!
I want to personally thank you for the beautiful job that you have done on the story of the mural, the church, and the chapel. Your words and presentation touched my heart, as I know it will many others also. You have a wonderful talent I look forward to reading more stories in the Cecil Soil Magazine that you will write. Keep up the great work. Your interest in history and people, and the kindness that you show, will be remembered by all. I hope that you enjoy this card of history and remember the lady that is seen walking up the hill by the old Post Office in Liberty Grove, Maryland. Thanks again and God Bless,
I do enjoy Cecil Soil Magazine and read almost everything. The September/October 2011 issue featuring the Nottingham Lots was especially good. We have two farms. Our home farm was a land grant from Lord Baltimore to Samuel Ewing, who came from England in 1725 and the other was a grant from William Penn. They are about two miles apart. I wondered if anyone else had property from both Penn and Lord Baltimore. Edith Kilby
Thank you so much for sending Anne Mahoney to help me solve the mystery of our farm Cloverly’s connection to the Nottingham Lots. She was a great help and we now know that we are a part of Lot 24. We love Cecil Soil Magazine and keep all of our copies as a collection. Thank you for working so hard to bring pleasure to all of us. Sincerely,
I was born in Cecil County and I lived there most of my life. About two years ago I moved to Elizabethton, Tenn. When I get some pictures I’ll send them to you! I have enjoyed reading your magazine so much. I’ve known a lot of the history and people that you’ve featured. I don’t have my copies, and I would like some more. I need to know if the price will change because you have to send them out of state. I’ll get back with you in December. Have a good holiday! Looking forward to hearing from you. Across the Miles,
I thought you might be interested in the Memorial service planned for Saturday, November 26th, 2 PM, at the Hopewell Cemetery on Hopewell Road. Boy Scout Troop 143 will be participating with current members of the Sons of Union Veterans. If you are interested, you can contact the Rev. Jay Bunting for further information. Thank you, Dear Isabelle, Thank you so much for letting us know about this very special event. We are certainly honored to have been invited and share some of the highlights with our readers. Maggie Creshkoff’s pictorial is on page 35, and more photos will be posted online at www.cecilsoilmagazine.com.
Thank you so much for sponsoring the sheep show at the Cecil County Fair! Because of your donation, the 2011 sheep show was a success! Thanks again,
Just wanted to say thank you for stopping by to do an article on Fringe Salon and Spa and for putting the spotlight on us. We were proud to be sponsors of the Big Tomato Contest and will do so again this year. As a business owner in a local community I believe it is our duty to give back. The ladies who work at Fringe alongside of me feel the same way – we just had our Second Annual Cut-A-Thon for Pathfinders for Autism. It is a good feeling!! Anne Hovatter
I was so pleased to see the article on the “Barn Owls” in the November/December 2011 issue. I met these fellows about three years ago at the Barn. After talking to them for several weeks, it came out that, I too, had been playing bluegrass music for many years with different groups. They invited me to sit in with them for some songs and I have been doing so ever since. They made me feel right at home. You will never meet a more humble, friendly group of guys. They take great pride in their music and their songs. It has been a real pleasure for me to be able to play music with them. Sincerely,
I read Ava Voshell’s piece on “Vibrations of the Bluegrass Sound” with great interest. My wife and I have been part time Cecil County residents for many years but recently moved in full time and we love it here. I have been looking for some place to go for live bluegrass music and Pop’s Place sounded like a place we would like to see. I thought I might be able to find more info on Pop’s Place on the internet...what was I thinking?! Well, since there is more territory near Churchville than I would like to wander around, I was hoping I could get an address for Pop’s Place and see for myself if the music is as good as Ava says it is. Keep up the great work, we have always loved your magazine. Kindest Regards,
