Roscoe UMC plans special event in honor of Black History month
COSHOCTON - In observance of Black History month,
Roscoe UMC will hold a special service/presentation on
Sunday, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary.
Soprano Jessica Crowell, Malone University 2016 grad-
uate, and MU senior mezzo-soprano, Desirée Meschell
Hargrave, will share a 20 minute opera, “Beneath Sus-
picion,” written by MU music prof., Dr. Jesse Ayers. MU
graduate pianist, Jessica Kapraly, and violinist, Cynthia
Noble, will accompany the singers.
“Beneath Suspicion” is based on a true, little-known
story of two daring, American women who played on
prevailing gender and racial stereotypes to fi ght slavery
by spying for the Union during the Civil War.
Elizabeth Van Lew, a passionate abolitionist known
around Richmond as “Crazy Bet,” is the middle-aged
daughter of a recently deceased, wealthy Richmond
slave owner. Upon her father’s death, she frees her fami-
ly’s slaves, including a young household servant named
Mary. Bet, recognizing Mary’s extreme intelligence,
sends her to Philadelphia to a Quaker School to be edu-
cated, after which Mary returns to Richmond to work in
the Van Lew home as a free woman.
Mary has a photographic memory. She can memorize
documents verbatim in one quick reading as well as
repeat lengthy conversations word for word. As the war
breaks out, Mary is in her early 20s, Bet, her 40s. Th ough
Richmond is the capital of the Confederacy, about half
of its inhabitants are Union sympathizers. Bet, a fi re-
brand, uses her contacts to set up a spy ring to report
Confederate movements to the Union military.
Her information is so reliable, her coded messages go
directly General Ulysses S. Grant. Th is works imagines

Happy Birthday to you in Heaven In Loving Memory of
COSHOCTON – Th e New Year Small Business Kickoff Show
will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 21, at
Hopewell School.
“I know a lot of people have heard about some of these
businesses, but they may not know all they have to off er,”
said Jacob Bair, organizer of the event.
Browse items off ered by many diff erent vendors and
crafters, shop and sample some of their products. More
than 20 vendors have signed up so far including Tupper- ware, Scentsy, Perfectly Posh, LulaRue, Rusty Olde Crow,
and many others.
“It’s wintertime, so there’s not too much to do in the
cold,” said Bair. “We’re going to have food served, so
we’re going to let people shop and have something to eat,
maybe play some games, and raffl e off some gift cards.”
Bair is hoping a church group or 4-H group will step
forward and help pass out food the day of the event.
“We’re planning to do another one in March if this one
goes well,” said Bair. “So we’re hoping it goes over well
with a nice turn-out.”

I came across a picture
Of you and I today
The tears just started falling
But I couldn’t turn away
I closed my eyes and I was there
That day so long ago
I saw your eyes still shining and bright
Alive and so aglow
I’d swear I heard your laughter
As I gazed upon your face
That golden and contagious sound
That nothing can replace
It brought back such sweet memories
Of how life used to be
Each picture now a time machine
That brings you back to me
We love and miss you very much,
Mary, Donna and Dave, David and Michelle,
Misty and Dave, Haylie and Alexie
Sadly Missed Along Lifes Way
Quietly Remembered every day
No Longer In Our Life to Share
But in our hearts you are Always there.
We Love and Miss You,
Your Loving Wife, Children,
Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren

a key scene in the lives of these two women: the crisis
moment when Mary must decide if she will risk her
life to undertake the daring plan she believes God has
revealed to her, or if she will shrink back to maintain
her safety and personal freedom. Both women were
inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame in
the 1990s.
Th e three young ladies will also share some singing/
playing prior to their presentation. Th e church is located
