On Sunday November 4th, Caroline Brooke Garner was Christened at the Wacahotta (pronounced Wa-ca-hoo-tee) Methodist Church. It was the annual "homecoming" service at my family church outside of Gainesville. Caroline is the 7th generation descendant of J. Porter Smith, who founded the church around 1850. J. Porter Smith is my grandmother's (Do) great uncle. This church is where my nephews Will and Walker were also Christened. Caroline wore a ruby ring tied to her arm that was Memaw's (Jake's fathers mother) and she received a beautiful gold cross necklace from Grandma (Jake's mothers mother)that she wore. The silver bowl used for the water was Sweetie's (my fathers mother). We are so glad that many of our friends and family were able to attend this special day in Caroline's life.
