Strange Stories, Amaz-
ing Facts of America’s Past
A Hair-raising Case - A
doctor practicing medicine
on the nation’s western
frontier in the mid 1800’s
had to be prepared for
almost anything. Yet in
August 1867, when Dr.
Richard Noon of Omaha
was confronted by a man
carrying his scalp in a
bucket of water, all of his
medical talents—as well as
his constitution—were put
to the test. For here on his
doorstep was a patient who
had barely escaped with
his life let alone his hair.
The victim of the scalp-
ing was William Thomp-
son, a repairman for the
Union Pacific Railroad
who had been sent out
to fix a break in a tele-
graph line. On the way, he
was set upon by a band of
Cheyenne Indians in a sud-
den, vicious attack. They
took his scalp, but an In-
dian accidentally dropped
it as he mounted his steed.
Though, as he later said,
“it just felt as if the whole
head was taken right off,
“ Thompson managed to
retrieve the scalp.
After struggling some
15 miles to the nearest
railway station, the victim
was taken to Omaha, where
Dr. Moore assessed his
pitiful pate. “The scalp
was entirely removed from
a space measuring nine
inches by seven,” he later
reported. “The denuded
surface extended from one
inch above the left eye-
brow backwards.” Thomp-
son’s hope of having his
scalp restored was dashed
when he was told it simply
could not be sewn back in
place. With time and care,
however, his head healed.
Before returning to his
native England, Thomp-
son gave the scalp, now
tanned and preserved, to
Dr. Moore, who eventually
presented it to the Omaha
Public
Library Museum for
display. It was, assuredly,
a grisly memento of savage
times in the Old West.
Title: The Choir Director
2: Runaway Bride
Author: Carl Weber
Three years ago Bishop
TK Wilson was in danger
of losing his church. His
only real hope was a young
hotheaded, womanizing
choir director by the name
of Aaron Mackie. Despite
Aaron’s many shortcom-
ings Bishop Wilson saw
something in him and took
Aaron under his wing, at
first as a protege and then
as a friend. Together, the
unlikely duo saved First
Jamaica Ministries from
financial min with their
successful church choir.
With his life in order,
Aaron decides the time
is right to propose to Tia
Gregory, the church secre-
tary who turned him into a
one-woman man. But what
begins as the wedding of
the year quickly turns into
the disaster of the year
when Aaron is left at the
altar without explanation.
Brokenhearted, Aaron
immediately turns to TK
for help in finding his fi-
ancee, but as the search
begins, TK finds himself
in his own compromising
situation. An arrogant,
money-hungry music man-
ager is out to snag Aaron
for his own selfish gain.
And that’s not all he has
his eyes set on. He’s also
been making advances to-
ward TK’s wife, Monique.
The bishop tries to keep
his composure but can’t
deny the weasel gets under
his skin.
Now as the search for
Tia continues, both men’s
lives begin spiraling out
of control and the lines
TK and Aaron might have
to cross will force them to
choose between faith and
friendship, or as TK puts
it, “Between heaven and
hell.”
Title: Comeback
Author: Dennis Conner
Comeback is the in-
credible inside story of
the making of an Ameri-
can hero: Dennis Conner,
the first man to lose the
America’s Cup—sailing’s
Holy Grail—and the first to
win it back. In the straight-
shooting and colorful style
of a bom raconteur, Conner
now reveals in vivid detail
the inner workings of the
Cup campaign to end all
Cup campaigns.
The story begins in
1983, with Conner’s bit-
terly disappointing loss to
his Australian rivals—the
first time the Cup had left
the New York Yacht Club
in 132 years. Conner takes
us behind the scenes of his
all-consuming effort to
bring the Cup home. He
describes his controversial
split with the New York
Yacht Club, and the birth
of an independent syndi-
cate to finance his dream:
a dream that began in a
shoebox filled with bills,
and grew to embrace all of
America.
As skipper of Stars &
Stripes, Conner raised the
funds, called the shots,
hired and fired key person-
nel, and channeled millions
of dollars into the ideal
superboat. From corpo-
rate boardrooms—where
he raised the millions of
dollars needed to design,
build, and man his boat—
to the lead-lined, sound-
proofed laboratories of
the nation’s most sensitive
high-technology contrac-
tors—where top-secret
plans for Stars & Stripes
were hatched—Conner
leads us on a dramatic
three-year odyssey toward
his climatic rematch with
the Australians.
Finally, he takes us
aboard Stars & Stripes for
the exhilarating series of
races off Fremantle—races
that required the high-
est level of athletic skill,
precise teamwork, and
personal courage to win.
All the crucial moments
are here—the fierce rival-
ries with boats from seven
countries, the heroism of
Conner and his splendid
crew in heavy winds and
dangerous seas, the split-
second decisions and strat-
egies that carried Stars
& Stripes through five
preliminary rounds and
into the final series of races
against Australia’s Kooka-
burra III. These confron-
tations are recounted in
thrilling detail, culmination
in Conner’s triumphant
sweep before thousands of
spectators and a worldwide
audience of millions.
Grace and peace from
our brother, Jesus. Sunday
was the 23rd Sunday of
Ordinary Time. It may be
September but it still feels
like July and August. Sue
went shopping at Brook-
shires on Saturday and
came home sopping wet!
But there was no rain at the
Smith house. This morn-
ing it looks overcast so I
am still hoping for some
rain. I spent part of this
week in Dallas with my
mother. I also had a chance
to visit with my two kids,
my sister-in-law and my
brother. It is always great
to get back home.
Today’s Gospel Les-
son is Matthew 18: 15-20.
The Old Testament is from
Exodus 12 and describes
the very first Passover.
God instructs the people
to celebrate this day of
liberation each year and
Jews have done so every
since. It is one of the
parts of their religion and
culture that holds them
together as community.
Paul in the Epistle Lesson
from Romans 13: 8-14
tells the Roman commu-
nities not to run up debts
except for the huge debt of
love they owe each other.
He tells them that when
they love each other they
complete and fulfill the
law. A close reading of
the Gospel Lesson tells us
that we Christians are not
to write people off that we
have disagreements with.
In Jesus’ eyes people are
never disposable.
I was out of town for
Family Night and Prayer
Breakfast. Sue said there
were 13 folks at Family
Night and that there was
plenty of good food to
eat. I got back in time
for Friday’s Pine Grove
Birthday Party. We had
plenty of volunteers and
we had many of the resi-
dents come. We had spe-
cial music from Bro. Allen,
Ms. Carol, Norma, and
Gene. We took requests
and sang up a storm. Janet
made a beautiful fall cake
and everyone enjoyed cake
and punch. Ms. McKenzie
and Ms. Fults had a birth-
day and we sang “Happy
Birthday” to them. This
afternoon (Sunday) several
Good morning everyone. Blessings on you today and everyday. Found the fol-

of the smaller Methodist
churches in the area are
joining First Methodist in
Center for Charge Confer-
ences. It will start at 2:00
which is usually nap time
for me but I will make an
exception. Our District
Superintendent, Rev. Huff-
man will be there. Joaquin
and Paxton have already
approved their reports and
I am ready to turn them in.
Each church is to spend a
few minutes telling about
something new at their
church.
We were in “double dig-
its” at Paxton this morning!
That is always exciting
news. Lillie, Liz, and Mike
were up from Houston and
joined us this morning.
Everyone at Paxton sure
miss Lillie and are always
happy when she comes.
Joe and Hilda selected
some of our favorite hymns
First I would like to
send sympathy to the fam-
ily of Taylor Keele. I vis-
ited with his mom Terri
and brothers Therrin and
Tyler on Friday afternoon.
Maurine Dempsey Hun
was also there to be with
her best friend from high
school. This young man
was honored with many
beautiful floral tributes
as well as other beautiful
and inspiring mementos.
Please keep all of them in
your prayers as they deal
with their loss.
One of Timpson's most
beloved citizens also
passed away this week end.
Douglas McDonald was a
kind, talented, Christian
man who devoted most of
his life working in some
capacity for the people of
Timpson. He and his wife
Sarah raised three won-
derful boys Roy, Jim, and
Tim. They presented their
Sunday morning was
another packed house. We
did have some visitors,not
sure about their names. We
are always glad to have
people visit our church, in
hopes they like it and will
come back.
This week we had three
birthdays: Nancy Kellar,
Judy Agnew and Keely
Overby. No anniversaries
this week.
We took several from
our prayer list, these are
the ones we put on: Taylor
Keele Family, Kelsey Bar-
ton, Dustin Bridges, J.M.
Vanover, Isabella Godwin,
Allessa Johnson, and T.J.
Rayburn Family.
Sunday morning we
had special music from
the youngest singer in our
church, Halei Hendricks,
singing "Our Church". She
always does a good job.
She loves to sing.
from the Cokesbury Hym-
nal. We celebrated Holy
Communion. We also sang
Happy Birthday to Joe
who will have a birthday
this week. As I headed
to Joaquin Methodist the
Paxton folks got ready for
Sunday School. We had
a nice crowd at Joaquin
Methodist. Theresa Jones
sang a special and it was
wonderful. We sang Hap-
py Birthday to Theresa and
Cooper. We also celebrated
Holy Communion.
The Charge Conference
at First Methodist Center
went fine. Our District Su-
perintendent, Rev. Chuck
Huffman led the singing,
brought a message and
conducted the meeting.
It was interesting hear-
ing what all the different
churches were doing and
are planning to do. We
had nine folks from the
parents with some precious
grandchildren. Douglas
will be greatly missed.
It is hard to believe we
are entering the third week
of this school year. Things
are moving fast; we have
already attended the or-
ganizational meeting for
Spring UIL, elected class
officers, and homecoming
duchesses. Our students
seem happy to be back in
their routines with their
friends. We welcome our
new faculty members to
our Timpson ISD family.
BIG NEWS: We have
a new grandmother in our
Timpson family, Mary
Lynn and Steve Tinkle are
the proud grandparents of
a baby boy, Nolan Rich.
I saw Mary Lynn at the
Methodist Church in Cen-
ter, and she was excited
and happy. I can't wait to
see her pictures.
Local Methodist
Bro. Keith took his
message from John 5:1
and Isaiah 55:8. GOD IS
WORKING. God is work-
ing to reveal himself to us.
He wants us to prosper and
do good in all things. To go
and spread the gospel to
everyone. We need to stand
up and let people know
who we believe in. He
works in us and is always
with us. Our lesson in our
Sunday School Class was
"The one true God" He is
God the Father who is over
us, God the Son(Jesus)
who is with us and the Holy
Spirit that is within us.
Thursday, we decided
to eat at Piny woods again.
We haven't eaten there in a
while. We also went by and
visited with Troy Keele
and his sister Vonda. Came
back to Retha's to play our
Rummikub game. We were
joined by Elaine, who had
Joaquin/Paxton churches
and I really appreciate their
coming.
“Whoever you are, in
whatever faith you were

Doors, Open Hearts, Open
Minds.” Services at Paxton

churches had their quar-
terly meeting at the Center
First Methodist Church. I
saw a lot of my Method-
ist friends from the area
churches, Lurlene Boyett,
Tim an Christie Wliear and
I represented Stockman.
Chris and I visited Pam,
Zack and the girls on Sat-
urday; they were sweet,
funny, and entertaining as
usual. It amazes me how
they change from week to
week.
Later in the evening
Chris joined Dot, Nancy,
Kim, Michael, Blaze, and
Ava at the SFA football
game. Dot said the boys
enjoyed asking Chris about
the game.
I hope everyone has a
great week!! Hilda, I am
happy you are continuing
to improve. Terry Nix, I
have been thinking about
you as you recover from
your knee replacement.
a doctor's appointment
earlier.
Sunday night before
church there was a meet-
ing with the parents of the
youth in our church. We
lost our Youth leader, to
an out of town job. So we
are without a youth leader
at this time. Some of the
parents agreed to step-up
and fill in until we get one.
We've got a lot of young
people in our church, and
they need leadership. After
the service Sunday night
we observed the Lord's
Supper, which we do the
beginning of every quarter.
Wednesday night will
be our regular prayer meet-
ing night. We've started
something new. Come and
see!!
Until next week, may
God bless and keep you.
