During the delivery of “goodies” to our shut-ins I had the privilege of visiting with Edna Barnes. Edna is a member of Burlington Baptist. Edna will be 94 her next birthday.

She is Leroy Edward’s aunt, and the only surviving Child of Josiah and Melissa Edwards, Leroy’s grandparents. She still lives by herself. Josiah was one of the first deacons at Burlington.

Edna says she remembers her grandparents and others talking about the Civil war. Her grandfather, my great-grandfather, Levi Edwards, was 13 years old in 1860 in East Tennessee, when the Civil war started. Edna loves her Lord, and is a joy to be around.
