Oak City Days

This is the headstone of Caroline Ely Partridge Lyman. She is my Great-Great-Grandmother and I was named after her. Jerry Finlinson, my cousin, includes me on his email list and keeps me informed about all the Finlinson Happenings. Here we are attending the "Echos from the Past" a part of the Oak City Celebration. The Descendants of 4 people who have been buried here, told their stories in the first person. I enjoyed hearing about these wonderful people who lived in Oak City. My Mother, Elizabeth Finlinson Foy was born here. She always loved telling me stories about her special relatives. Next year they want to spot light Caroline Ely Partridge Lyman and asked if I would tell her story. I feel so honored. I have a picture of Caroline Ely in my kitchen and look at in occasionally. I have oftened wondered if she will ask me what I have done with her name when we meet again.
