Neat, seeing a part of that history.

My initial thought was, you would think the placard would state the girl's =
name and age at the time she sewed the blanket.

As per, searching backwards from Alba Morgan, seems Edward had 12 children,=
3 from a first marriage and 9 with Mary. Possibly more than one daughter=
worked on the blanket or it's not sure which daughter did the sewing, henc=
e no name on the placard. Only two of the daughters, Mary Shirley and Isa=
belle, were old enough, at the time, to have worked on the blanket. Sara, =
from Edward's first marriage, can be ruled out as she died in Noble, Indian=
a.

And big rocks. Wish this area had some rocks to work with. Having rocks=
shipped in is expensive.

Nice woodwork. Nice vacation, too.

Large timber!

Several years ago a computer whiz guy developed something important to
the computer industry. He sold the rights for millions. He ended up
building a log cabin home on the Texas border of Lake Texoma.
My nephew was a landscaper and was awarded the job of landscaping the
property. The home was huge with very similar timbers as those in the
links you provided. We got to look the home over during construction.
I recall the front gate, 3 timbers, a post, a support and the actual
horizontal beam that closed the entrance. It would have fit right in
with a Flintstones cartoon. The horizontal beam was about 25' long and
30" in diameter.

The angled mortising of the posts into the ceiling beams of the lobby, as
well as the lintel into the jacks, is a delight. Thanks for the pictures!
