Barbara Ellen McRobie















My grandfather John, 1871-1910 was a lumber jack and worked in western Maryland all of his life. He died as a result of an accident when a tree fell on him breaking his back. He was bedfast from 1908 until 1910 when he died. He left my grandmother Barbara, 1870-1949 with six small children. My grandmother worked as a custodian in the Mountain Lake Park Hotel for several years and also as a domestic to support her children. My grandmother was also a very good seamtress and made clothing for many of the wealthy families of Mountain Lake Park. She was very accomplished at crocheting and could make any thing from small pieces to a full bedspead.

Commit a felony and get caught, lose your right to Vote!
Commit a felony and don't get caught, run for President!
Loose the popular vote and become President!
Now all you have to do is,
Reward the rich,
Put us into debt,
Destroy the environment,
and,
Start a war!
Now that we have a new  President ,   let us hope he can do something about the mess that Obama left behind
