Her husband was John Cleveland Bolton and they married on September 20, 1905. They had one child, Faye Wilson (Bennett)McCready. John and Mary lived on a small farm outside of Owensboro, KY almost their entire married life. They lived a simple life but worked hard at growing their food through a big garden, raising chickens, milking the cows, etc. Their main "cash crop" was tobacco. A typical day was rising early in the morning, feeding the livestock, milking then bring in the fresh milk to be churned (by hand) which provided the fresh butter and delicious buttermilk. Mary cooked on a coal/wood stove fresh breads, cobblers, and other good food. Mary's hands were rarely still! During her "down times" she made many quilts over the years between 1920 and 1960. This quilt pattern (I think) is double wedding ring, made with many scrapes ofmaterials saved from her own dresses, clothing for her grandchildren, etc. She unfortunately did not put dates or her initials on the quilt, but my guess is it was made in the early 1950's. Mary also loved to crochet and the table covering was her wedding gift to her daughter, Faye (my mother) when she married on December 31, 1938. I am delighted to give these treasured pieces to the family of Sara Pearson Crump.

John and Mary Bolton were married on September 20, 1905. Both were 23 years old. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Ouray, Colorado where John's brother Louis was a medical doctor. Because of the very cold weather and because they missed their Kentucky families, they moved back to Owensboro Kentucky. Around 1910 they bought a 30 acre farm on the Hale Road where they lived their entire married life. John Cleveland Bolton was born on May 25, 1882 in McLean County, Kentucky near Livia. His parents were John Henry Bolton and Cynthia Martha May Bolton. John' s grandfather was George Washington Bolton. (born Feb 25, 1819 in KY). As you can see children were sometimes named after presidents of the United States! �John's sister, Annie Bymece (Bolton) John's brother, Dr. Louis C.

John and Mary Bennett Bolton's small home was on the Hale Road in Owensboro, KY. It had five rooms plus a big screened-in back porch where Mary did a lot of her work in the summer (iron, make butter, etc). The house did not have running water or a bathroom. Also, Mary cooked on a big stove fueled by wood. You had to know how much wood to put in the stove to make the temperature right for baking biscuits, cakes and cookies-- even in the hot summer weather! ,. Other houses or areas on the farm: The wash house - where the clothes were washed in a "wringer" machine. Not an easy job! Since there was no running water, John carried water from a nearby well into the main house where the water was heated on the wood stove. Then the hot water was carried to the wash house. Mary hung the clean clothes on a long line in the side yard. Mary also made her own wash soap from animal fat and lye. It was very strong but had a good, clean smell. 3. The milk room - a cool, stone store room where the fresh milk was poured into heavy metal milk cans. Some of the milk was for drinking~ some was used for the churning and butter-making. 7. Baby chick house - every spring 50 to 60 baby chicks were raised here. What noisy babies they were! Peep, peep, peep! ! When grown the chickens provided the eggs and some were eaten by the family as fried chicken. 9. The cellar - located under the milk room in a dark, cool underground area where Mary put her canned Mason jars filled with vegetables, fruit, and meats. 1f. s: The smoke house - a small wooden building where pork was bung and smoked creating unique "old" Kentucky country hams and bacon. Coals were placed in a metal container and dashed with water, creating the pungent smoke which permeated the meats. The coal house - coal was used to heat the house with fire places. Also coal and wood was used in the stove that Mary used for cooking. The hen house - place where 25 - 30 black and white hens laid their warm eggs. It was fun to gather them! Sometimes Mary took an egg while the hen was still on the nest and received a sharp peck. The out house - there was no bathroom in the house so Mary and John went to the outhouse to go to the bathroom. Because there was no running water in the house, that's the way things were! The wells (2) - the family had two wells. The water was used for clothes washing and drinking after it was·boiled. The well near the barn was used to water the animals. Because water was scarce, especially in the summer, John Bolton "caught" water in bins which ran through the house drain pipes. The grape arbor - white and purple grapes hung with abundance from the arbor. Jellies and cobblers were made from the luscious fruit. I/. The garage - used to house the car and to store chicken feed. The barn - where the cows were milked. The second floor stored big bails of hay used for animal bedding. The corn crib - a small wooden building which stored com for the animals to eat. Hundreds of yellow ears almost reached the ceiling. The com was beautiful and smelled good. �> T~ dowti+,i,,n, Owensb~ L,-1-ch+,efd ~oa.J. I</-. - ~ 7J /. I+ 0 U.

Like most Kentucky farmers, they grew tobacco for the main cash crop. They also sold eggs, sweet milk, and buttermilk to Owensboro people. In the summer, vegetables from the garden were also available. Once a week, John loaded his car and "peddled" his home products to regular customers. Between 1920 and 1950, people did not go to a grocery store for dairy products- instead they were delivered to your home. .. Besides taking care of the 30 acres farm and the farm animals (cows, mules, chickens) John managed a big vegetable garden with corn. Kentucky Wonder beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beets, kale, peas, etc. It was a lot of work and when John came to the house he was ready to sit! Here were John Bolton' s favorite chairs: the rocker, found next to the fireplace and the upright, on the back porch. John Bolton's favorite places to sit after a hard day's work. (IBM had the rocker in FL; MMC has the chair.) �Every morning, except on Sunday, John brought his chum into the kitchen, poured tepid milk in and began to chum. After about 15 minutes, the milk separated into butter and buttermilk. After chilling, Mary took the butter and shaped it with her wood mold and pressed in a wheat design on top. It was a pretty pound of butter! The remaining buttermilk was refrigerated and used for cooking and drinking. The churn top. Unfortunately the other parts of the churn were sold when the farm was dismantled after John's death. ~ �What was a typical day for tile Bo/tons? 5:00 - 7 AM. John gets up before dawn and in each room of the house (in the winter) starts a fire in the fireplace. (Before going to bed he had covered the coals with ashes so the fire never goes out.) Then he goes to the barn and feeds the animals and milks the cows. In the meantime, Mary starts up the fire in her kitchen stove (their fuel was coal and wood). She then fixes breakfast which is usually bacon and eggs, hot biscuits with gravy, sorghum molasses and homemade jam. 8 - 11 AM John chums the buttermilk after breakfast then in the summer, he works in the large vegetable garden or when the time is right works with other men to cut and bale his hay in the fields. The bales are stored in the barn and used to line the animal stalls. Mary makes pounds of butter which have "come" from the churning. She presses in her wheat design. Then she starts preparing dinner which is the main meal at noon. Chickens are fried, a cobbler is made, etc. In the winter, she may even have an hour to make a square for one of her quilts or pick up the needles to crochet her next rug. Noon Dinner with fried chicken, pork tenderloin, sliced tomatoes and homemade cottage cheese, green beans, corn, dressed eggs, banana salad, beets homemade pickles and for dessert-- a fruit cobbler. Everything prepared is from their animals and garden. I :30 - 3 PM Rest time. Mary and John lay down and go to sleep. They are very tired! Also in the summer it is the hottest part of the day so it is good to be inside the house where it is cooler because the shades are drawn. They fan themselves with funeral home fans (cardboard with wooden handles). Lying on the bed, Mary listens to her soap operas on the radio. 3 - 4:30 PM In the summer, they sit in the back yard under the weeping willow trees talking and visiting if neighbors drop by. Sometimes John brings out a cold watermelon from the cellar and everyone enjoys the delicious cold fruit. Grandchildren Margaret John have seed spitting contests and Margaret uses the seeds to make necklaces. 4:30-6 PM John does end-of- the-day farm chores as milk the cows, feed the chickens, slop the pigs, and gather the eggs. Mary prepares a cold supper. 7 - 8 PM In the summer, the family sits and talks on the porch, finds the Milky Way in the stars, plays guessing games. In the cold weather, jokes from the Reader's Digest are read aloud and the news by Gabriel Heater is listened to on the radio. 8 - 8:30 PM Bed time. In the winter, John covers the coals in the fireplaces so the fire does not bum out. Everyone snuggles down in their feather mattresses (made by Mary) covered by warm, cotton quilts (also made by Mary)- for a long, good sleep. �Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors.

History Contact --· ·.~--From its beginning, Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church has had a congregation of members who have lovingly devoted much time and effort to the upkeep and expansion of its facilities. Calendar United Methodist Church UMC.org The first Pleasant Grove Church was built around 1820. This log structure burned and was replaced by a frame structure in about 1877. The present sanctuary is basically this structure and has for its sills solid 12" x 12" yellow poplar. The Bolton's church A building program, in 1968, included bricking of the sanctuary, a beautiful porch in colonial style architecture, the addition of new sidewalks, extensive work on the parking area, a beautiful 25-foot memorial steeple with cross, and numerous other changes. In 1963, plans were completed for remodeling of the sanctuary and other parts of the church. This included lowering the ceiling in the sanctuary and the installation of: dry wall, new windows, indirect lighting, and a new floor in the basement, a new kitchen, and electric heat. New pews were bought by families, church school classes and individuals. ~ Mary and John Bolton outside their Church around 1954. Pleasant Grove 1966 - Present Since 1969, the sanctuary and In 1941 a hardwood floor was put in the sanctuary, and in about 1947, a basement was dug under the sanctuary. Mules were used to dig the basement. The basement was dug while church services were held in the church as it sat on stilts. A concrete floor and walls were poured to form one large room, and a small kitchen was built in one corner. Through the use of curtains the basement was divided into Sunday School rooms. On Sundays, after the animals were fed and cows milked, Mary and John Bolton got ready for Church. When grandchildren Margaret and John were visiting in the summertime, they pulled down the big galvanized tub for baths. Each took a tum then donned their Sunday best. All (smelling soapy-squeaky clean) climbed in John 's 1940 Plymouth and headed for Pleasant Grove Methodist Church located 3 miles from their house. In the 1940' s, the Church had two areas-- the sanctuary on the main floor and the basement which was divided into sections for Sunday School classes. There was an out house away from the Church. For many years, John was the Sunday School superintendent and Mary belonged to the Women ' s Society of Christian Service. Every Sunday there was Sunday School. Being a 4-point charge, there was a worship service with "preachin"' every fourth Sunday. Following that service a big dinner was held in the basement (or on long tables outside if the weather was nice). Heaps of fried chicken, deviled eggs, com pudding, com on the cob, cole slaw, green beans, sliced tomatoes, bread and butter pickles, com bread, etc. were on the tables. Great desserts included layer cakes and homemade ice cream. After Church, Mary and John went home and basically rested or visited friends in the area. At day' s end, the animals were fed, cows milked, eggs gathered, supper and off to bed. some Sunday School rooms have been carpeted, the parking lot enlarged and paved and air conditioning and heating system installed. Over the years the church has owned three different parsonages, with the last being on highway 54. If you take a walk through the lovely old graveyard which sits on the right as you face the church, on the head stones you will see numerous names of those early Christians whose descendants still attend and lovingly care for the church at Pleasant Grove. 9/4/2006 �John Bolton owned one car during his lifetime-- a 1940 Plymouth. See upper left hand corner. Here also is a good glimpse of a field which bordered the Bolton's property. John resting in his favorite ladder-back chair in the yard around 1950. ~ What was John Cleveland Bolton like? As my grandfather, I remember him as a good man who worked hard. He was quiet, in fact, I never heard him once raise his voice or get angry. Also, he was kind and gentle with his family and the animals. John love to read (the Bible, the Farm Journal, and Reader's Digest). When he peddled his milk, butter and eggs in Owensboro, he always brought back a treat to grandchildren, Margaret and John. Their favorite was the banana flavored marshmallow "peanuts". My grandfather seemed satisfied with what he had-- his farm, a car and little else. (Memory of MMC) �What was Mary Elizabeth (Bennett) Bolton like? As my grandmother, I remember liking to be around her because she was always busy doing interesting things-- cooking, molding butter, crocheting, sewing. I liked to watch her. When she crocheted her hands would fly! It was fun to see the lacey doily come into being. She gave me my first thimble and cookbook. She laughed easily and was so happy in her home. Mary was also artistic as seen in her many quilts and her kitchen floor! Every winter, she and John painted her linoleum floor, then sponge painted designs around the border. I loved the fact that they did this project. (Memory of MMC.) A dining room table "cloth" crocheted for Faye and Henley Moore McCready by Mary Bennett Bolton. SEPT 1958 Bennett-- who do you see?

Many hours were filled cutting and sewing by hand the cloth pieces; the final step was the quilting in the dining room. There John put up an 8 ft by 7 ft wooden quilting frame which filled most of the room. Sometimes Mary' s friends came over to help with the quilting-- also known as a "quilting bee!". Some of Mary Bennett Bolton' s quilts are now held in the homes of Margie Milner Mccready (Ormond Beach, FL), Elizabeth Cornell Goldwitz (Walkill, NY), and Margaret Mccready Cornell (Nashville, TN). Probably at least ten others were lost or discarded due to damage/use. �n· 0 , p,JJ.,tr1,-v ( a_,.2.l µ Ct..

It was fun to shuck the popcorn then spill the ke1nels into a pan filled with hot oil and wait to hear the pop, pop, pop! ij ~ Mary made a dessert which was enjoyed by all-- her fru it cobblers (apple, blackberry, or peach). It is as follows: Stew fruit~sweetening a little if needed + ¼ t. nutmeg. Set softened fruit aside. Bake two large ( 15" x 8") "pancakes". Put one pancake on cake platter and spread warm fruit over; top with second pancake then pour the remained of the fruit over. Cut in squares. Delicious! Mary crocheted many "rag rugs" which were made from strips of cotton or wool. Most cloth came from old clothes which she tore or cut in long l" wide strips. Next she took the strips and wound them up into a large ball then proceeded to crochet making a rug which averaged 6 feet wide and 4 feet wide. Unfortunately, we no longer have any of these rugs. Other memories of Jolin and:Mary 1Jennett 1Jofton (my grandparents) On a wall in their dining room, Mary and John had a wooden wall telephone. They were on a "party line" with three other families. When any of the families received a call, the Bolton's heard a ring-- 1 ring for fami ly A, 2 rings for family B, a long & a short ring for family C, etc. Sometimes Mary would lift the receiver very carefully and listen in on the conversations! When the person stopped talking, Mary quietly hung up the receiver. Hey, what's the harm in a little eavesdropping? Ironing clothes - Mary Bolton used four "flat irons" which she heated on the kitchen stove. With three irons on the stove, she ironed with another one until it started cooling down. Then she switched irons for a hot one. Mary ironed her dresses, John's shirts, etc. During the hot days of July and August, this household task was a chore to be endured. Banana peanut salad: (1 cook a simple salad dressing made with 2 T sugar, one egg, ½ t salt, 2 T flour, ¼ cup vinegar, and½ cup cold water. Cook till slightly thi~kened. (2 Chop _enough_ peanuts to make 1 full cup. Halve then quarter bananas (not too ripe). Dip banana quarter m dressing then roll in chopped peanuts. Refrigerate until serving. A favorite of John Bennett McCready . In the summer when the sun went down, Mary and John Bolton sat on their front porch talking about the day past and things to come. They also enjoyed looking at the stars which were clearly visible out in the country away from Owensboro lights ten miles away. When grandchildren John and Margaret McCready visited they pointed out the various constellations as the Little Dipper. etc. 1.< �The grave of John and Mary Bennett Bolton. After John Bolton's death in 1962, Mary reluctantly sold their farm. It was a difficult decision. She aJso decided to move to Winchester, KY and lived with her daughter Faye. It was sad moving away from her life time home but, aJways trying to be upbeat, she made the best of it. Here is Mary and Faye' s picture taken for the First Methodist Church directory around 1963, two years before Mary's death. It was her last picture. John and Mary Bolton chose to be buried not in the little cemetery near their church, but rather Elmwood Cemetery in Owensboro near the graves of other relatives. Their markers are in the H and I sections in the section off the Old Hartford Road.

The papers are arranged chronologically in two areas: The family of Rev. William George McCready and his wife Margaret Anne French McCready, and The family of John Cleveland Bolton and Mary Elizabeth Bennett Bolton. The material has been divided into 17 series representing different or extended branches of the families. The collection focuses on these extended, but inter-connected Kentucky families over several generations including their varied professions (law, business, real estate, home making, and community involvement).
