A trip to the tiny Hill Country town of Sisterdale, about an hour northwest of San Antonio. Founded in the mid-1800's by German Freethinkers, Sisterdale is just a couple of houses and businesses along the side of the road with just a few dozen residents. The main attraction to the town is the Sister Creek Winery, located in the old cotton gin. Pictures taken Spring 2008. I plan on adding more detailed descriptions in the future.

1907-1988, freethinker and science fiction writer. Instrumental in preparing the United States for the manned space program. Fiction was predominantly sociological in nature; many of the concepts originated in the 1940's have since come to pass. Invented the water bed as a plot deivce for a story. Timeline of his "Future History" (probable events, not inventions) still holds up: the Crazy Years, manned moon landings & early space exploration halted for a time, rise of religious fundamentalism & call for "crusade", etc. . ..

I love chunks of Amethyst. I used 7 and paired them with dark tearshaped African Amethyst beads. The chunks are offset on either side with glittering bicones of Swarovski Crystal. This one hugs close to the neckline. It was so hard to get a photo because the bling from the crystals kept throwing off the background!
It will be seen from our obituary column that another old identity has passed away in Dr. Stockwell, the Health Officer for the city of Auckland. He died last evening, after an illness of some months' duration, at the comparatively early age of 57, and leaves a widow to mourn her loss. His death was not unexpected, and through his lengthy illness, suffering from heart disease, he has been assiduously attended to by Dr. Mackellar. Deceased was formerly a surgeon in the Army, and served in the Crimea. About a quarter of a century ago he came out to Auckland, where he soon acquired a good professional practice. He was for some time one of the members of the hon. medical staff of the Auckland Hospital, and also acted as honorary surgeon to some of our benevolent institutions, For years past he had been Health Officer to the city. Dr. Stockwell had one of the best situated farms in the Waitakerei district, where he also carried on farming operations. His decease will be viewed with regret by his medical brethren and bv the citizens generally. The interment will be private.

To the Editor: Sir, — Having heard that a report was circulated that the late Dr. Stockwell, who was an outspoken freethinker, had recanted at the last, I beg most emphatically to correct such an erroneous impression as this report would create by stating, that the doctor himself expressly desired that he should be buried by the simple ceremony of the free-thinkers, and myself had the painful pleasure of reading a piece from the "Truth Seeker" of his own selection as the burial service—painful because of the fact that we were putting away for ever one of Auckland's most valued citzens and my most dear and truest friend.—I am, &c. W. C. Dennis.

DEATH OF MRS STOCKWELL
Mrs Stockwell, relict of the late Dr. Stockwell, of Auckland, passed away peacefully at one o'clock on Friday morning, after an illness of some weeks' duration. Tbe deceased lady had for some time been living with her son, Mr Chas. Cowan, at Mimiwhangata, and a short time ago decided to take up her residence in Whangarei. With that end in view she purchased a portion of the late Mr Bedlington's estate and had erected thereon a very substantial house. Before the building was finished, however, the deceased lady was seized with an indisposition which the doctors soon pronounced to be a breaking up of the system. Tbe deceased lady desired to go into her new home before the end should come, and had her wish gratified. Her closing hours were spent complacently and peacefully and death came as in a sleep. The late Mrs Stockwell was greatly beloved by those who knew her for her amiable disposition, her simple and pure tastes. Her remains will be taken to Auckland next Monday to be interred alongside those of her late husband.
