On September 9, 1936,seventy-three years ago, my parents, Cronin Davis and Evelyn Elliott, were married in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Rectory. After the ceremony, they traveled 15 miles to Moundville, Alabama and spent the night at the hotel in Moundville which was located near the railroad depot. They ate supper at Melissa Wiggins' now famous "Miss Melissa's" restaurant. On September 9, 1984, they celebrated their 48 wedding anniversary by going back to Moundville to eat at "Miss Melissa's." Evelyn sold a set of World Books to a friend who was buying them for her grandchildren. Cronin always said that she could sell World Books anytime and anywhere and more than likely she would sell at set at his funeral. Which she did.
Today is also the birthday of Shirley Rhoads the daughter of long-time friends in the Lansing area. It is also the birthday of our neighbors' daughter Emma. Happy Birthday ladies.
