By Shannon McFarlin

lowering plants are like Christmas itself. They are magical things and often cause folks to become sen- timental, even emotional. FWith no plant is that more true than the Methodist plant, whose very pur- pose is to share. By giving it away, according to the plant’s folklore, the giver shares the love of God with others. If it’s not shared, the plant will die. Lucille Clendenin has been doing her part to share her Methodist plant with others for 25 years, moving it with her as she wound her way from Springville to Paris. Clendenin was given her fi rst Meth- odist plant by Mary Edmonds, who also lived in Springville. The women both attended Poplar Grove Methodist Church.“She brought some to church with her – she had a whole bunch of it – and she gave me a cutting,” Clen- denin said. That one cutting has grown over the years into many plants, which she has shared with numerous friends. Clendenin owned and operated the Springville Country Store for many years and kept the plant in her home adjacent to the store. When her hus- band died, she was offered the job of caretaker for the late Amon Evans’ home and hunting lodge in Springville, and she took the plant there. “I had a Methodist preacher come to my house when I was at Amon’s, and he asked me what the plant was called,” Clendenin said. Her answer involved a little theology. “They tell me it’s called a Methodist plant; it needs a lot of water,” she said. “Probably because the Methodists be- LUCILLE CLENDENIN shares some of her Methodist plant. lieve a lot in sprinkling.” 16 PARIS! for the Holidays 2012 visit www.MyParisMagazine.com ‘They tell me it’s called a Methodist plant; it needs a lot of water.

And that is the key to love to be with people. And I’ve always when she was a newlywed. Minnie Bess. had good health.”

Master of cards Another secret to her durability? Cards. Minnie Bess has had a lifelong love of cards since she sat on her daddy’s knee “and pulled the cards for him” from the time she was six years old. Her parents, Richard and Mary Davidson Cowan, played the game of pitch, and in the winter when they couldn’t farm, friends would gather at their home for evenings of cards. Her basic knowledge of diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts was resur- rected in earnest when she was 65 years old “and really learned the game. I can play most any card game: bridge, pitch, rook, hearts,” she said. But the game that won her over was bridge; she became certifi ed as a Gold Life Master in 1996. She still plays two or three times a week, in both Paris and Dresden. “It’s stimulating to the mind; I think it’s good for you.”

The early years Growing up in the Antioch Road area where her father operated a sawmill and directed a group of share- croppers on his 300 acre farm, Minnie Bess could not foresee the road that would lead her to become one of the fi rst women in Paris with a supervisory role in local industry.
