Lewis County Herald - Serving Hohenwald, Lewis County Tennessee Since 1898

From the temperatures we have had it looks like summer is here, well maybe. It was in the upper eighties almost every day last week and it really made the children want to get in the creek or pools wherever they could. I would think that the creeks are still too cold but maybe not if you are in the shallower area where the sun hits the water.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week that I know of Steven Cole Bates, Danny Sisco Loveless, Margaret Hudgins, Mary Ellon Christian, Rebecca Henley, William “Bill” Austin Skelton, Bernice Lee Staggs, Michael Tyrone Newsom Jr., and Thomas “Petesy” Ezra Bowen. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

The Palestine Cemetery be holding their Homecoming on May 22nd at 2pm at the cemetery. If you have family there and cannot make the meeting you may mail your donation to help with the upkeep of the cemetery to Regions Bank in Hohenwald for the Palestine Cemetery fund. Without funds from those who have family buried there the cemetery might one day be overgrown with briars and bushes.

This is the children’s last week of school and know that they are excited. I know also that most of the teachers are anxious to be out for a few weeks and have time to themselves and their family.

Prayers for a good week and if you are out in the heat be sure to stay hydrated and don’t get too hot. May God bless you and your family through the coming days.
