“Definitely not just another navy bean soup recipe. This soup pot is packed with protein, extra herbs, spices, and veggies for the rustic flavor… and no animal product. Served with bread or a side, it satisfies the most famished appetite, in an easy elegantcooking way!” brags mother-of-four Tish Dalley.
“I got the recipe from my best friend’s son, John,” stated Sarah.
This is a friendly reminder that clocks will “spring forward” one hour in the early hours of Sunday, March 8, changing from 1:59 a.m. to 3 a.m. This change will provide more daylight in the evening. (Daylight Savings Time will end on Nov. 1, 2026, as we “Fall Back” an hour.)
In January 1867, 435 freedmen, women and children left Kingstree, South Carolina to travel by train, ship, and train again to land in Marlin, Falls County, Texas, where they hoped to build a better life for themselves and their families. On July 11, 2026, a monument will be installed at the Falls County Courthouse to memorialize the names of every traveler who made this brave journey. Descendants of the Shaw family, Sharon Styles and Angela Shaw Ross, are on a mission to reveal as many family connections as possible ahead of the ceremony, through genealogical tools and research. They would be happy to help you build your family tree, especially if you have deep roots in Falls County. If you recognize any of the names on the list below as your ancestors, or think a name sounds familiar and might be a relation, please contact Sharon, Sharon.kay@sbcglobal.ne t, or Angela, honey_be_2001@yahoo. com.
