I am writing this on Mother's Day, so I did a search for that word in my files. While I didn't expect brunch at the local establishment, what I did find saddened me. This is dedicated to the mothers of Braidwood, past and present.
In 1876 Jimmie Patterson tried to get his mother's organ back from a sheriff's sale, one that he was responsible for. “Bankrupt Jimmy Patterson says that his mother, not himself, owned the organ that the constable sold. That she paid for it with her little almighty dollars.” It did him little good, but I guess it's the thought that counts.
