I am gnawing down on the best Butter beans, ever.  Spicier than most with a jalapeno and a splash of cayenne and black pepper. Honions shoulda added a can of green chiles.  WAIT, theres time...

Whew!

Judge, (Edgar Earl BOYD, Sr.) Loved him some burr bean.<<~~pronounced with disregard of the t's)
me too.

Judge had been to East Texas State University in Commerce.  Two years of business school  having come from an educated pharmacist father Joseph Marion BOYD who moved to Wood/Upshur County in 1903.  Joseph spent a little spell in Whitewright as well, before moving to the farm north west of Rhonesboro.  He farmed, taught school, maybe pharmacisted, became an ordained minister, having been ordained by a man named ARRINGTON.  Joseph Marion BOYD conducted Sunday services at Grice, Texas and is buried in that Cemetery, with his daughter Mary BOYD RUBLEE there too.

I think his second wife is there, but I dont remember.  His first wife was LUTHER, her mother was a CROW.  LUTHER, Macon Georgia.  Judge was born in 1888 in Madisonville, Monroe County, Tennessee at the foot of the Great Smokey mountains, on BOYD Ridge just above the town.  Jeremiah and Barbara Etter are buried at the Lutheran Cemetery just south of town on Chestua Creek.  Census records find them on Chestua Creek also.  The Lutheran Church is nearby, but all of its records were burned up in a fire.  i went in to the records room at the county seat.  I never got an explanation, but all of the books and records had been caved in.  I think they had actually collapsed because that area is prone to earthquake.  That is exactly what the records room looked like when I visited it with Dena back in the day.
