"Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations;
ask
thy father and he will shew thee; thy elders and
they will tell thee."
Deuteronomy
32:7
"In
all
of us there is a hunger,
marrow-deep, to know our
heritage - to know who
we
are and where we have come
from. Without this
enriching knowledge there is a hollow
yearning. No matter what
our attainments in life there is
still a vacuum. An emptiness,
and the most disquieting
loneliness." Alex Haley

A
State Is Born
This
is
a poem written by Lieutenant
William Beeker Billings in
the 1930's of his ancestors'
experiences when immigrating
to Indiana in 1819 to make
it their new home.
These families were Beeker,
Billings and Carr and they
settled in the Pretty
Prairie area, northeast of
Battle Ground.
