From Henry C Vause, to Luther Ray, to John Clare, to Landon Randolph, to Nathaniel Manoa...the old hubcap syrup strainer.
Mr Vause taught my father much about cooking syrup. 1884-1994 his daughter Ethel "Red" Vause, never married, lived behind the 20 acres in Crawfordville. Her parents lived in an old wood house similiar to my father near the Methodist Church, which was beside the property.
Red would come over every Thanksgiving and help cook the syrup with us. When my father was the circuit preacher of Crawfordville and Sopchoppy, Red was part of the youth group.
