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

Not much rain this past week but still some pop-up showers and a few days with thunderstorms and rain. We have been blessed with rain to balance the lack from the early days of summer when it was so dry for days and days.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Connie Bonner, L.C. Bowen, Dorothy Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Madison Chappell, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Wilburn Franks, Calvin Harris, Martha Hensley, Jim Holloway, Wayne Holloway, Shirley Howe, Monette King, Bruce Ligon, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Linda Mercer, Greg McCann, Helen McCann, Mike McCann, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Betty Odom, Lonnie Odom, Pam Pullman, Colene Rasbury, Hattie Roberts, Mona Runions, Roy Sharp, Joe Shipp, Vickie Skelton, Nell Skelton, Cameron Tripp, Jim Walker, and Annette Williams. Please pray for these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers. Remember also in your prayers those in areas where there are wars and daily fear for themselves and their families and the soldiers that are stationed there.

We wish a happy birthday to Bethany Sims, Luke Roberson, and Kinley Pace the 26th, John Tyler Claxton and Jaci Lynn Duncan the 27th, Jennifer Tiller the 28th, Amy Carroll, Macy Lomax, and Faye Johnston the 29th, Landree Carroll and Evelyn Seiber the 30th, Payton Carroll, Brenda Ferguson, Timmy Carroll, and Blake Webb the 31st. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more years to celebrate life.

Happy anniversary to Kenneth and Pat Carroll August 28th and to Rodney and Angela Odom September 1st. We wish for these couples many more years to celebrate life together.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. Those that I know of are Oscar Vernon Reeves Sr., Bobby Melton, Roy Howe, Randy Lynn Pickard, Billy Coble Cothran, Jones Burdette (JB) Brown, Dorothy Helen Griffin, and Jerry Clayton Canady. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

Hohenwald is a great place to live and there is so much to do here for the entire family. We have a fabulous library and staff. There is so much information there and they are willing to help you find whatever you need.Every summer there is a terrific program for children with events almost every week with special things to do. Then at this time of year there is the county fair which this year has a new set up for what goes on each night and even the days before. There are many things in the county for families to do together including the summer softball and baseball games and soccer, volleyball and many others some of which I know I have forgotten to list.

Prayers for your family to have a great week and enjoy the world around us that God has so prepared with many wonders for us to enjoy.
