Christmas memories - Silent Night This memory was shared from mother to daughter, Geniece Leftwich Marcum to Linda Marcum Waggener, and is a treasured one in our family. It was seen through the eyes of a young Geniece who was observing her mother, Addie Turner Leftwich. The farm on which this memory took place was two miles outside Edmonton behind what is now Bowling Park on the Glasgow Road. Addie was part of the Turner family from Crocus Creek in southern Adair County, whose father Joseph moved them to Metcalfe County, Cave Ridge, where she met a young man named Walter Scott Leftwich and claimed him. Geniece was the youngest of nine children born to Addie and Walter. Her four brothers star in this memory. "I never hear the song Silent Night without seeing mama standing at the old dining room door drying her hands on her apron, crying. "Russell had bought one of the first radios to be had in our neighborhood and set it up in the family room. "There was no electricity in our home then so all four of my brothers, Russell, Robert, Ed and Rondall, worked the long, late fall afternoon wiring it up to a pole set up in the front yard with an aerial wire run to the radio. "It took three batteries to get it in operation – a big one like a car battery, and a couple of round ones that were pretty good size. "When they were finally finished, the first sound we heard were the strains of Silent Night filling the house. "Mama left her work at the kitchen stove and slowly came to lean against the dining room door, drying her hands on her apron. She had tears in her eyes when she said, "It seemed like that music was just coming to meet me." -Geniece Leftwich Marcum, Memories of Home 1991 This story was posted on 2009-12-26 08:20:57 Click Here for a printable version of the article.
