Kind(eren):
My mother, Ellen Elizabeth Bell McKeown, better known as "Ella", was alife long member of Camp Creek United Methodist Church. She stood firm inher faith in God, possessed many admirable traits of character, and set agood example for those who knew her. Truly "her children andgrandchildren shall rise up and call her blessed."
My father died when I was only sixteen months old leaving my mother twosons and six daughters. Of course, I have only seen my father through myloving mother's eyes. The picture that she painted was quite beautifulto see. 'Twas a picture of perfection. Not one flaw revealed to me!
She was an excellent housekeeper and managed her household well. Eachmember of the family accepted their responsibilities. Living on a farm,naturally there was much sowing and reaping together. During the summershe always saw that fruits and vegetables were preserved for the winter.She was a very good cook and a skilled seamstress, sometimes creating herown recipes and patterns. Reading was one of her favorite ways to enrichher vast storehouse of knowledge. When in doubt about a birth date,people often consulted "Miss Ella", and she was usually able to helpthem.
She was five feet, three inched in height. Her average weight was 125pounds. Her eyes were blue and seemed to reflect each mood. She hadlong dark hair which she wore coiled high upon her head. To me, it was"her crowning glory".
I used to watch my mother as she gently combed her hair.
It was her crowning glory, lovely beyond compare.
As she loosed it from its binding, it almost touched the floor.
In memory I see her, as she strokes those strands one more,
Until silken, soft and shining, coiled high above her head,
truly a regal coiffure, for the humble chores ahead.
