This means I&#8217;m randomly clicking around and looking up things like compost bins while I think through what I need to do next.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitesstore.com\/obits1967.htm\">randomstance hit of the day<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John William HARGER<br \/>\nCCT, Friday, 13 Jan 1967<\/p>\n<p>    KOSCIUSKO &#8211; Services for John William HARGER, 75, retired textile worker, Kosciusko, MS, held at Second Baptist Church, Kosciusko. Interment in Stonewall cemetery near Quitman with Jordan Funeral Home, Kosciusko, in charge. Born in Clarke Co., near Quitman; lived in Kosciusko 38 years and was brother of Owen HARGER, Quitman. Employed at Aponaug Mill here when it was in operation. Member of Second Baptist Church. Survivors &#8211; wife, Mrs. Daisy SMITH HARGER, Kosciusko; two daughters, Mrs. Jewel IVEY and Mrs. H. E. WOODS, both of Kosciusko; three sisters, Mrs. Bessie HILL, Kosciusko; Mrs. Frank COVINGTON, Weed, CA; Mrs. Eva PRIVETT, Stonewall; a brother, Owen HARGER, Quitman; nine grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t know how I got to this, but it&#8217;s my great-grandfather&#8217;s obituary.  I&#8217;m not one of the 19 great-grandchildren, though, as I was not born for another 11 months after this.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Jewel Ivey, the daughter mentioned, was my grandmother.  I don&#8217;t know who Mrs. H.E. Woods is.  I thought his only other child was Aunt Laura.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea I ever had a great-great aunt who lived in Weed, California.  That&#8217;s a detail no family should forget.<\/p>\n<p>Since I didn&#8217;t remember how I found his obituary, I went looking for my Mimi&#8217;s.
