I know the political climate in this country is poor at best right now. Please respect that this post is not meant to be a sounding board for any political persuasion. It is to illustrate something different.

With our past there has always been turmoil with our government leaders and most likely always will be.

I ran across something I thought was really indicative of how divided the country was over the outcome of the Civil War and its right there in the Marble Falls Cemetery.

While researching a family name, that I think has long since died off or moved on,at least I don’t know any of the descendants personally, I ran across the name John Wilkes Booth Green.

So several years after the Civil War ended, there were people around that had no love for Abraham Lincoln.

I can’t imagine anyone naming their child Lee Harvey Oswald Lewis in 1970, seven years after the Kennedy assassination.

But perhaps they did.
