I have a letter written in Jan of 1953 that I would like to share with others.......
Caliente, Calif
Route, Box No. 70-A
Jan 8 1953
To Mrs. Emma Marsh
7920 Marty St
Overland Park, Kans
Dear cousin.
Our cousin Neeva Beckman forwarded a letter to me that you had written to here and I had the great pleasure of hearing of you pretty directly.
Well I must say that the years since you helped my mother care for her first born three month old babe carries a world of memeory. the memories of all those years has builded something in the make up of what we call life.
It seems to me that the most constructive element of our memories is our contact with our loved ones. By those contacts we always express Our love for them and they for us. So it is love first last and always. Even though we are separated thousands of miles or even death does not nullify that great force of love that lives ever in our memory.
How nice it is to talk over the experiences that we met with in the dim past.
It is always with pleasure that I recall the visit I had with Aunt Nancy and with you folks --- I believe it was in 1911. I remember your daughter who was I think teaching her first school. I believe you had a very interesting son about twelve or fourteen years old.
That's been forty years ago. Since that our children has grown up and married off and even they have grandchildren. And scattered out over several states and some of them have left us with only loving memories.
Along in the thirties I use to hear from your brother Bill regularly, but all at once he quit writing and I never knew whether he left Denver or what happened. I think Brother Mark heard from him later But he wrote that Bill had quit writing to him. I am sorry that his sight is so poorly. Ones eyes are a great possession.
My greatly beloved old cousins Mark Sims has left us behind. We were just kids when last we saw each other, 11 or twelve years old I think. That was when they moved from the Territory up to Miami County.
This is the 15 of the month. We had to go to Bakersfield then on out to Button Willow where a son and his family live. It is fifty miles to Bakersfield and thirty from there to Button Willow. We were gone most all week. Visited a son in Bakersfield as well as the one at Button Willow.
We have been having quite a bit of snowy and rainy weather since the first.
We had a snowy stormy Christmas. So it was wife and I alone for Christmas. We had a fine Christmas. Got so many letters and presents.
I had just got out of the hospital after a siege of shingles, flu and pneumonia. They loaded me up with strepton myacin and penicillin and now I feel better than I have for years.
One thing I didn't like about my treatment is that they have me to follow a saltless diet. I can't for the life of me get use to it.
We have been living up higher in the mountains but when I got the shingles and the flu it made such a wreck out of me that we decided it was best that we should live down nearer to a good road and so we got busy and moved. Now we live right at a good county highway with mail right at our door three times a week.
We have all the wood we need and it is right handy, too.
We go to the Baptist church every Sunday when it is good weather. That is at Bodfish nine miles away, where we do wuite a bit our trading.
We just have a letter from brother Mark. They are well now but Mark ocassionally has some trouble with his heart. They want to take a months vaction this summer and they want us to go with them. They want to go to a good mountain fishing place.
Well when I was a little kid in the Nation I got a many a licking for running away to to fishing. The spring creek was about a half a mile from where we lived. Fishing in these mountains involves quite a bit of hill blimbing and that is just an uphill business for old people.
Sister Clara is living with her daughter in Sacramento. Her health is quite poorly. Her daughter works for the government. Clara has a son and a daughter.
There are quite a few Threewits in the county. My decendents and those of our Uncle Marcus.
We had an uncle by the name of Louis. I was too young to remmeber him. Mother told me that he use to call me Button. He was buried down in the Territory. I remember seeing his grave. Well dear cousin: I can't see why we cannot keep on living for another twenty-five years. I feel good and so a quite a lot of work not because I have to but I kinda enjoy being busy. I think if we enjoy our work it is beneficial to our health.
If we could just get able to do the things we ought to do and not so much the things that we want to do, Our reaping would be so much more to our liking.
You seemed to be puzzled about the way the Threewit s tt spelled the name.
We have in our possession an old old bible that belonged to Edward Threewits. That is the way he spelled the name. He had eleven children, all recorded in that dear old book. Some of those decendents immigrated to Illinois. some to Indiania and two brothers went to Ohio. An your grandfather Louisi family came first to Missiouri then on into Kansas.
The decendents in Ohio and Indiani put the (s) on the name. Some of may children spell it with a tt and others us the one t. In an early dat in Schotland there lived several families by the name of Wit; so in one family there was but three members and their meightbors would always refer to them as the "three Wits", so they became known as the Threewits.
After all our name plays no small part in this game called life.
I think you will let me off for this time and I will call you again.
So good bye and may the good Lord bless and keep you and yours.
Love, David and Lillian Threewits (Then he signed his name.)
Anyone wanting a copy of the orginial please email me at.....

Sorry if I haven't gotten back to some of you but due to illness (our 33 year old daughter has spent so time in ICU and she has an 18 month old little darling "Gracye Ann" who became our charge for some time...she kept us very busy and my mother's health has been failing and so "spare time" just didn't happen in this house. Hopefully this spell is over and I will again have time for my genealogy....johnnye ann
