I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Marco Antonio Barbosa

Cassia Eller Photograph by Milton Montenegro

Cassia Eller popMPB singer who was enjoying enormous success

over the last decade died December 29th in Rio at age 39 Physicians and relatives disagree on what would be the cause of death most probably related to drugs alcohol and the stress caused by over 100 shows during her last CDs promotional tour

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

All were in suspense to see whose name would be drawn for the Eller family tree rug None other than Eric Ellers name was called The events for the evening were concluded with some old-fashioned hymn singing The accompanist at the piano was Eller wife of Glenn Eller who owns the Eller Tire Store in Hiawassee She was fantastic on the keys and he was very good singing bass It was an enjoyable climax for everyone there A total of 74 people attended all or some part of the conference

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Obituaries BRAZIL MOURNS DEATH OF CASSIA ELLER

Marco Antonio Barbosa

Cassia Eller Photograph by Milton Montenegro

Cassia Eller popMPB singer who was enjoying enormous success

over the last decade died December 29th in Rio at age 39 Physicians and relatives disagree on what would be the cause of death most probably related to drugs alcohol and the stress caused by over 100 shows during her last CDs promotional tour

After her appearance in Rock in Rio she recorded Acustico MTV which had sold in excess of 400000 copies before her death

Cassia has left an 8-year-old son Chicao

Daughter of an army officer Cassia was born in Rio de Janeiro but grew up in different cities due to her fathers assignments She chose to be a singcr at age 14 when someone gave her a guitar Later on in Brasilia (State Capital) she would sing with choirs and trios eletricos (trucks specially remodeled to accommodate a live band created in Bahia in the 70s for Carnival purposes) and trained classical singing In 1989 she headed to Sao Paulo passing around a demo tape of the song Por Enquanro by Renato Russo She signed to Polygram and released her first LP Cassia Eller in 1990 Besides Por Enquanto the album featured Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) and 0 Dedo de Deus (Arrigo Barnabe and Mario Manga) Eller played a series of shows with Argentinean guitarist Victor Biglione presenting a blues repertoire that would spread her name as a blues and rock vocalist The second album 0 Marginal came two years later consolidating her voices deep low timbre on the market Among the tracks two Jimi lIendrix songs (If Six Was Nine and Hear My Train A C omin ) and compositions by ltarnar Assuncao Luiz Melodia and others In 1994 the album Cassia Eller combined Brazilian rock classics with versions of samba (Ataulfo Alves) and popular Brazilian music (Djavan) lIer next CD Veneno AntiMonotonia (1997) was dedicated to the work of Cazuza and followed by Com Voce Meu Mundo Ficaria Complete (1999) which featured

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

I Icllo everyone I 0) I wanted to let everyone know Im working hard on updating the web pages for these lists The main page as well as the main page for each surname has been updated and broken links fixed I know the message board links were all broken and that is because Rootsweh decided to do away with them a fter their partnership with ancestrycom and now they are all on ancestry I have changed all those links and for surnames were I know multiple spellings and there are boards for those spellings I added them to the boards (KERN and 11UPP lists this applies to you) I am working on the rest of the pages mostly working on tabulating all the census information to make it easier to read and that should be done for all the surnames by the end of the week Keep sending me your census data to add to the pages I would love to have a complete listing for each surname in every state Right now a Il the surname main pages have 2 links at the top for census data the first link is just for the I 790 census for all states (COVENTRY listers Im still putting on the info its not complete yeti) and the second link is to a II other census years This second link takes you to a page listing all 52 states with a link for each state that has

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

the original poster (which I do anyway) Just want to put that out for those who are curious Ok now good luck in your research and send me that info you want on the web page 0)

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Obituaries BRAZIL MOURNS DEATH OF CASSIA ELLER

Marco Antonio Barbosa

Cassia Eller Photograph by Milton Montenegro

Cassia Eller popMPB singer who was enjoying enormous success

over the last decade died December 29th in Rio at age 39 Physicians and relatives disagree on what would be the cause of death most probably related to drugs alcohol and the stress caused by over 100 shows during her last CDs promotional tour

After her appearance in Rock in Rio she recorded Acustico MTV which had sold in excess of 400000 copies before her death

Cassia has left an 8-year-old son Chicao

Daughter of an army officer Cassia was born in Rio de Janeiro but grew up in different cities due to her fathers assignments She chose to be a singcr at age 14 when someone gave her a guitar Later on in Brasilia (State Capital) she would sing with choirs and trios eletricos (trucks specially remodeled to accommodate a live band created in Bahia in the 70s for Carnival purposes) and trained classical singing In 1989 she headed to Sao Paulo passing around a demo tape of the song Por Enquanro by Renato Russo She signed to Polygram and released her first LP Cassia Eller in 1990 Besides Por Enquanto the album featured Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) and 0 Dedo de Deus (Arrigo Barnabe and Mario Manga) Eller played a series of shows with Argentinean guitarist Victor Biglione presenting a blues repertoire that would spread her name as a blues and rock vocalist The second album 0 Marginal came two years later consolidating her voices deep low timbre on the market Among the tracks two Jimi lIendrix songs (If Six Was Nine and Hear My Train A C omin ) and compositions by ltarnar Assuncao Luiz Melodia and others In 1994 the album Cassia Eller combined Brazilian rock classics with versions of samba (Ataulfo Alves) and popular Brazilian music (Djavan) lIer next CD Veneno AntiMonotonia (1997) was dedicated to the work of Cazuza and followed by Com Voce Meu Mundo Ficaria Complete (1999) which featured

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Like I said I will contact them to find out and if it is against policy I will take that information off (only about 5 files) I hope this answers any questions my last post left and Im sorry for the confusing

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

All were in suspense to see whose name would be drawn for the Eller family tree rug None other than Eric Ellers name was called The events for the evening were concluded with some old-fashioned hymn singing The accompanist at the piano was Eller wife of Glenn Eller who owns the Eller Tire Store in Hiawassee She was fantastic on the keys and he was very good singing bass It was an enjoyable climax for everyone there A total of 74 people attended all or some part of the conference

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

Cassia Eller Photograph by Milton Montenegro

Cassia Eller popMPB singer who was enjoying enormous success

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

The message boards etc have or will be taken down and there is only I chat room now which you

can only access through the Parenting channel Many genealogists are leaving AOL in droves bc of these changes (including mel) Now that there are chats online without going through AOL there is no need for me to stay there I still have AIM

(screen name eabradfo) that people can contact mc with and of course this address will stay the same no change there For those of you who have contacted me through AOL in the past please begin to use this address now for all email communication Check out the rooms and make some more connections The Genealogy Forum owned by George is now owned by Parenting ALL the chat rooms arc accessible

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

Everyone relaxed awhile until time to get dressed for photos outside and for the banquet at 630 Following the buffet dinner Lynn Eller as chairman of the Awards Committee presented the following awards

J W Hook Award to Edward K Eller EFA Award to Devon Dahl Presidents Award to J Gerald Eller (via telephone)

All were in suspense to see whose name would be drawn for the Eller family tree rug None other than Eric Ellers name was called The events for the evening were concluded with some old-fashioned hymn singing The accompanist at the piano was Eller wife of Glenn Eller who owns the Eller Tire Store in Hiawassee She was fantastic on the keys and he was very good singing bass It was an enjoyable climax for everyone there A total of 74 people attended all or some part of the conference

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

downright boring to look at with no background Being disabled myself I want to make this site as streamlined as possible for people who view the page using special text-to-speech programs and such With the exception of the ELLER page I have fixed the broken links to the message boards Since the merger of Rootsweb and Ancestrycorn the old message boards that I maintained (there were 8 I think) no longer exist and they are all consolidated into one BIG board that is maintained by Ancestry com

I will try tonight to fix the ELLER link but in the meantime the address is

I Icllo everyone I 0) I wanted to let everyone know Im working hard on updating the web pages for these lists The main page as well as the main page for each surname has been updated and broken links fixed I know the message board links were all broken and that is because Rootsweh decided to do away with them a fter their partnership with ancestrycom and now they are all on ancestry I have changed all those links and for surnames were I know multiple spellings and there are boards for those spellings I added them to the boards (KERN and 11UPP lists this applies to you) I am working on the rest of the pages mostly working on tabulating all the census information to make it easier to read and that should be done for all the surnames by the end of the week Keep sending me your census data to add to the pages I would love to have a complete listing for each surname in every state Right now a Il the surname main pages have 2 links at the top for census data the first link is just for the I 790 census for all states (COVENTRY listers Im still putting on the info its not complete yeti) and the second link is to a II other census years This second link takes you to a page listing all 52 states with a link for each state that has

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

Iii all Some of you from AOL will already be aware of this but for the rest of you the AOL genealogy chat rooms have moved online You can access the chat rooms at htt p wwv genea Iogyforumorgc h atshtm this page gives a schedule for regularly scheduled talks by subject (usua lIy by states)

Ive been using this for a few day now and its great (my screen name is cabradfo) There are a few bugs but realize this is a new chat room so be patient For those not aware of the changes going on AOL with the genealogy forum right now here is a brief rundown based on my understanding (this is not any sort of official announcement or anything) The genealogy forum owned by George (dont know his surname) no longer exists on AOL as it was

The message boards etc have or will be taken down and there is only I chat room now which you

can only access through the Parenting channel Many genealogists are leaving AOL in droves bc of these changes (including mel) Now that there are chats online without going through AOL there is no need for me to stay there I still have AIM

(screen name eabradfo) that people can contact mc with and of course this address will stay the same no change there For those of you who have contacted me through AOL in the past please begin to use this address now for all email communication Check out the rooms and make some more connections The Genealogy Forum owned by George is now owned by Parenting ALL the chat rooms arc accessible

through Keyword Genealogy Share Stories and Resources Chats Tab Parent ing has offered genealogyshyhosting positions to ALL the former hosts and is in the process of interviewing them now I know that for a fact because I have an interview scheduled for today and I know of at least one host who has already gotten an acceptance

DONT MISS OUT

Only a few copies remain of George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America by James William Hook a son of Virginia Eller Hook and grandson of Harvey Eller who left Wilkes County NC in 1852 in a covered wagon with his wife and 8 children

This 4X5-rage book containing the very first extensive Eller genealogies was published in 1925 and 1957 Although this 1957 book does not contain recent material it is a great source of information and is considered a collectable since no more will be printed In fact the initial copies were soon sold out and the Eller Family Association did a reprint of this book

What a great addition to the library -- something you will want to pass down to your descendants

The price is $4000 including shipping

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

I guess I need to make this clear I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission Basically what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page you should email to let me know the missing information but also this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking not just for the list but for anything also cite your full sources As for the census include AL L information from the census in the including the state county town and page Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy I will check into this but honestly 1 doubt it The 3 main reasons I think this

I Im getting permission from the sender

2 This is public domain information

3 The information is staying on Rootsweb as my web page is on Rootsweb

I Icllo everyone I 0) I wanted to let everyone know Im working hard on updating the web pages for these lists The main page as well as the main page for each surname has been updated and broken links fixed I know the message board links were all broken and that is because Rootsweh decided to do away with them a fter their partnership with ancestrycom and now they are all on ancestry I have changed all those links and for surnames were I know multiple spellings and there are boards for those spellings I added them to the boards (KERN and 11UPP lists this applies to you) I am working on the rest of the pages mostly working on tabulating all the census information to make it easier to read and that should be done for all the surnames by the end of the week Keep sending me your census data to add to the pages I would love to have a complete listing for each surname in every state Right now a Il the surname main pages have 2 links at the top for census data the first link is just for the I 790 census for all states (COVENTRY listers Im still putting on the info its not complete yeti) and the second link is to a II other census years This second link takes you to a page listing all 52 states with a link for each state that has

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

the original poster (which I do anyway) Just want to put that out for those who are curious Ok now good luck in your research and send me that info you want on the web page 0)

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

I Icllo everyone I 0) I wanted to let everyone know Im working hard on updating the web pages for these lists The main page as well as the main page for each surname has been updated and broken links fixed I know the message board links were all broken and that is because Rootsweh decided to do away with them a fter their partnership with ancestrycom and now they are all on ancestry I have changed all those links and for surnames were I know multiple spellings and there are boards for those spellings I added them to the boards (KERN and 11UPP lists this applies to you) I am working on the rest of the pages mostly working on tabulating all the census information to make it easier to read and that should be done for all the surnames by the end of the week Keep sending me your census data to add to the pages I would love to have a complete listing for each surname in every state Right now a Il the surname main pages have 2 links at the top for census data the first link is just for the I 790 census for all states (COVENTRY listers Im still putting on the info its not complete yeti) and the second link is to a II other census years This second link takes you to a page listing all 52 states with a link for each state that has

census data At this point there are only a few states that have links for every surname about 2 or 3 states on average KERN listers Im in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation right now its all on one page but that will change The other main change Im working on is making the pages easier to read This includes bold text to make it stand out against the background and in some cases bigger font size Also you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line This has nothing to do with grammar but rather as suggested by a fellow lister this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired If you have any other suggestions for making the site more user friendly drop me a line Also I am thinking of having an unidentified persons page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are If you have some that fit this category please send them to me (injpg orgif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known approximate year etc) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of Once Im done with the rest of the work I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up Last thing like I said earlier someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page As I said I would I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from

the original poster (which I do anyway) Just want to put that out for those who are curious Ok now good luck in your research and send me that info you want on the web page 0)

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

Hill Country Witch Accuses Pastor of Harassment

By TA Badger Associated Press Web Posted 08042003 1002 AM

BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region

Margie Allen who practices the pagan religion Wicca also charges that the Llano County sheriffs office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area

The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI which says it will investigate the claims by Allen a consignment shop owner as a possible civil rights case

Allen says Jackson her former landlord in Kingsland ended her lease because of her faith and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in

They think Im satanic said Allen a Wiccan for the past six years Were dealing with very unintelligent people

Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet about 20 miles away But she says relocating didnt end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside

Theyd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say Werent you run out of Kingsland because youre satanic she said Needless to say thats not good for business

She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road

It was intended to antagonize and to frighten Allen said and it did

Jackson pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland denies that shes responsible for any hostility directed at Allen

Shes tracing in the wrong direction she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church Weve never had any cross words

Allens beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease Jackson said Rather her husbands death last fall prompted her to sell the building so she wanted it empty

On Sunday however the building in question had For Lease signs in its windows

But Jackson insisted Allens faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord

I have no problem with her at all she said adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years Shes entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe

THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII Issue 3

Page 48

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

Wicca is an ancient nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as witchcraft But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith

It is not negative said Allen It is not evil It is not satanic

Along with old clocks and dish sets the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks crystals and herbs for healing massage oils and potpourri cachets Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Her daughter Lindsay also a Wiccan tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriffs office

A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland Allen said and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county but we ran them out of town

Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen though it was his understanding that Allens religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease

He said his recollection was that one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out though he said he knew little about the case

Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allens shop to talk to her but that no complaint was lodged

On Sunday dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen

Her rights are so obviously being trampled on said Maeven Eller a Wiccan who heads Betwixt amp Between a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration It feels like were 100 years in the past here

Rene Salinas a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations

If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe a more in-depth investigation would follow Salinas said

place where food and lots of it is served family style Like Hiawassee Dillard is just a stones throw from the North Carolina border After eating all that we possibly could we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah Sukey Eller was buried Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller born in Sullivan County North Carolina (now Sullivan County Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard Rabun County Georgia It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia Back in Hiawassee we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining

Saturdays activities began with the convening of the Board at 9 15 President Paula asked the Secretary (Roger) for the invocation and to call the roll of directors All were present Old business subjects discussed and action taken

I Moved and approved that the Association hereby express appreciation for services rendered to the EF A by the outgoing board members Bethel Eller Stolte and Hazel Eller James and that certificated be sent to them

2 Moved and approved that we not take any action to purchase the remaining fifty George Michael Eller books from the publisher Closson Press at the present time unless Closson asks us to

3 The June 302003 financial report was presented by Roger The cash balance at June 30 2003 was $10 336 and liabilities for the conference yet to be paid Also included in the cash balance at June 30 was encumbered funds of $3749 for publications and $1800 other mostly for conference expenses The Board moved and approved that the $1800 be transferred to the general fund
