Past Shock!
Tour of Plantation Takes You Back
By LUCILLE HARVEY
The first reaction can be
described as a “shock of
recognition’’ —“l’ve seen my
father (grandfather) operate
one of those” or “My mother
(grandmother) had one* like
that.”
The second reaction might be
bewilderment— 4 ‘ Can things
really have changed so much
in so few years? How can the
world my children know be so
different from that of my
childhood?”
It is Jarrell Plantation, on
Juliette Road between Juliette
and Round Oak, that provoked
such responses in at least one
visitor. The plantation, given
by the Jarrell family to the
state for preservation, has
been in the family since
pre-civil war days, and one
family member, Willie Jarrell,
still makes his home there. It
is now open to the public, and
guides are present to operate
and explain some parts of it.
The plantation presents, not

Funeral Costs Is Subject of
Federal Booklet Now Available
Death and funerals are
both subjects we tend to shy
away from. Because of this,
most people end up facing
decisions on funeral arrange
ments when they’re under
great emotional stress. And,
they have to decide quickly,
as well. These are certainly
painful conditions for deter
mining what constitutes good
value for the money.
The Federal Trade Com
mission has anew booklet
that discusses different op
tions available and their
costs to consumers. For
consumers or other interest
ed groups, the booklet also
includes a format for use in

In the U.S., the average
cost for funeral and burial
arrangements has been es
timated at $2,000. But, high
cost death arrangements
aren’t inevitable. Although
they’re not widely publicized,
lower cost arrangements are
available. Consumers should
ask about the options and the
prices of various merchan
dise and services in order to
make an informed purchase.
The booklet explains terms
common to the death related
industries. It includes infor-

and mint-julepe-on-the

more realistic picture of a
hard-working, self-sufficient
operation. This is the unique
and valuable aspect of Jarrell
Plantation—tfie almost com
plete self-sufficiency of an
earlier day which it demon
strates. The family has kept
buildings and equipment in, if
not operational condition, at
least an easily repairable
state.
The plantation house, parts
of which pre-date the Civil
War, is the familiar four-room
cottage, with attic space and a
room enclosed on what ap
pears to be half of the original
front porch. The separate
kitchen is reached by a
“breezeway” from the dining
room. A quilt, which the last
Jarrell to occupy the house, in
the 1950’5, worked on, hangs
in its frame in the bed-sitting
room, and visitors are invited
to take a stitch or two.
Furnishings include loom,
spinning wheel, and carder.

mation on traditional burial,
cremation, and donation of
the body to medical re
search. It also discusses
different ways consumers
can make prearrangements.
One type of prearrangement
is membership in a memorial
society. The cost of joining a
memorial society ranges
from $5 to S2O. The society
may have a contract with one
or more funeral homes that
usually offer lower prices to
members for services and
merchandise. Memorial
societies advocate simple,
low cost arrangements. They
are listed in the yellow pages
of the telephone book under

ciations.

Out-buildings include the
bam, where a mule is stabled,
syrup shed, cotton gin, grist
mill, blacksmith shop, wood
shop, and planer, the logs for
which were hauled from the
woods by a log cart largely
hand-made by one of the
Jarrell men. Mills and gin are
operated by a steam boiler.
Many examples of old,
horse-drawn implements are
displayed, and such things as
a few goats and a flock of
chickens scratching in the
yard add to the impression of
“the way things were.”
The state plans to develop
the plantation, with some
additional guides and more
equipment put into operation,
but it is to be hoped that it is
not over-developed. Realism
is the basis for its nostalgia
and charm.
There is no charge for
admission. For adults, it is a
plunge into memories of the
past, and for children a look at
the way it was, not so very
long ago.
