At 64, Fillenwarth thought the shirt was the right one to wear as she joined other women in the group called “1,000 Grandmothers”—one part of the 22,000 protesters who had come to Fort Benning, Ga., to demonstrate peace- fully against a United States Army school that they believe trains soldiers from Latin America to torture and kill. The school has been a concern for Fillenwarth’s conscience since 1980 when she heard the news that four Catholic women—three religious sisters and a lay missionary—had been murdered in El Salvador, murders that implicated men who had been trained at the school. In the years since then, Fillenwarth has protested and given talks about the former School of the Americas that is now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Yet, on Nov. 19, 2006, the commit- ment of Fillenwarth—a member of St. Lawrence Parish in Indianapolis—took an even more personal turn. As the 22,000 protesters marched in a solemn, funeral- like procession near the gates of Fort Benning, Fillenwarth and 15 others broke ranks from the march.

During the cold summer of 1816, people were for months without bread, and sub "greens," sisted chiefly on made from various herbs and plants. Mr. Hanna cut rye while it was yet in the milk, dried it on sticks laid across a kettle of live coals, and in this way succeeded in pre paring for mill half a bushel of grain.

Mr. Hanna's barn was the first frame building ever raised in the town, and in it convened the first Methodist quarterly meet ing held here. His sturdy Scotch qualities made him invaluable in those early times, and the noble qualities of his heart were evinced in the acts of his daily life.
