Nora The Pride of Kildare
1st As beauteous
as Flora is charming young Nora,
The joy of my heart and the pride of Kildare;
I ne’er will deceive her, for sadly twould
grieve her
To find that I sighed for another less fair.
Her heart with truth teeming, her eye with
smiles beaming
What mortal could injure a blossom so rare,
As Nora, sweet Nora, the pride of Kildare?
2nd Where ere I
may be, love, I’ll ne’er forget thee, love.
Though beauties may smile and try to
ensnare;
Yet nothing shall ever my heart from thine
sever,
Dear Nora, sweet Nora, the pride of Kildare.
Her heart with truth teeming, her eye with
smiles beaming
What mortal could injure a blossom so rare,
As Nora, sweet Nora, the pride of Kildare?

| In
Shelby County, Alabama, Alfred M. and Mary Ann
settled on Yellow Leaf Creek, on land which is today
about nine miles northwest of Columbiana, three
miles south of Chelsea, and twenty miles in a direct
line from Birmingham. They and their offspring
developed a community centering around Lester's
Chapel. Now, a century later, scores of their
descendants, bearing the Lester, Nolen, Watson,
Walton, Poindexter, and Wingard names, are to be
found within a radius of fifteen miles of the
Chapel, or in the neighboring Jefferson County. -
