Moran Prairie Cemetery

 

  
 

Jennifer Braddock Duskey stands by the graves of her great-grandparents, Otto E. Hubenthal (died 1941) and his wife, Pauline Snyder (1854-1941). The place is the Moran Prairie Cemetery. The flat stone also states "and children." These two words have grabbed Jennifer's imagination and she is now hooked on finding her family history. "Who were those children?" she quips, "I want to know!" We agreed that it looks like a large enough plot for several grave sites.

Moran Prairie Cemetery (in southeast Spokane) was established around 1889. It became the final resting place for many early settlers including Joseph Moran (born in 1824 in St. Antoine, Canada, and died in 1890....from being gored by an angry bull). The cemetery is currently at capacity with almost 1000 graves. 

Once again, Jennifer and I urge you to seek out your ancestors and learn their stories! Each one of us HAS a story to tell. 

Broiled Frog Legs..... Try A New Recipe?

 

Found this old-time recipe in a 2005 issue of Nostalgia magazine. I'm sure you'll want to try such a different dish in this new year. 

BROILED FROG LEGS.... To prepare select fine, fresh bullfrogs, reserve only the legs; skin them carefully, leaving the legs in pairs; cut off the claws and place in fresh cold water until ready to use. 

TO BROIL.... select good-sized legs, marinate them as for frying, using either vinegar or lemon juice; drain and place them on boiler and broil 4 minutes on each side; dress on hot plate with butter-sause and serve while hot. 

Since I know this will be your next question, here goes:  Can you buy frog legs at Walmart?
