Musings from Christmases past

2 years ago By Museum Musings
Madison County’s Cedar Lake Community is located three miles northeast of Midway, near Old San Antonio Road. Early families there included those of Sim Washington, Gus Jones, Calvin Malone, Jim Johnson, Emanuel Bradley, Presley Glazes, Eli Coleman, Arie Bailey, Sam Cotton, Tuck Smith, and the Dankins family. There would be box suppers and community serenading at Christmas and New Year’s. A group of folks would start at one house and get larger as it went from house to house in the community. They would be singing, ringing bells, jingling tambourines and playing fiddles, to make a festive occasion.
