Everyone should visit Fort Toulouse for Frontier Days!! It is important in our states history and is a great event. My brother, Richard Cumbie is a re-enactor each year. Much to learn and fun as well.

Wetumpka, Deatsville and Holtville are my old childhood stomping grounds. My grandparents and extended family are from there. Surnames of Richardson and Blankenship.

I am part of the old original Richardson family too. I have letters that were written from the first settlements here in the Holtville area before anyone was here but a few small farms.

My in-laws lived in Tallassee; grandpa born in Dadesville; store in Dudleyville. Grandpa was part of the scientific team developing(?) Lake Martin in the 1920’s(?) and tells of towns being inundated with water when the Lake filled in. Rode wagon with his father, the doctor, visiting patients; he later became a doctor as did many others in his family. He had so many fascinating stories about the area. Names of Fargason, Carlton, etc.

We are so thankful our grandson and family are safe in Wetumpka! Prayers for people living there.
