Bellevue University Athletics - Bruins open season with 2-1 win at Concordia

Bellevue University Athletics - Bruins open season with 2-1 win at Concordia

Jessica Damery played for less than a half but was in the game long enough to get the game winning Header to put the Bellevue University Bruins up 2-0 and hold off the late surge of the Concordia bulldogs who squeaked in a Penalty Kick rebound with less than 6 minutes on the game clock.

This was a Battle as both teams crashed into the season opener at full speed and ended up with Bellevue losing an important defender in Mere Shuman who was knocked down in the first half and left via ambulance with appears to be a concussion.

You can see the First goal scored by Alyssa Porter to put the Bruins on the board.

then as the teams battled on and went to half with Bruins leading 1-0

It was time for some Damery action as Jessica subbed in and got the Security Header goal from a corner kick which eventually was the game winner. See that Video below:

The game was riddled with bumps and bruises and although the Bruins had one teammate leave in an ambulance they came out the stronger team in the end with a 2-1 Victory.

You can see a mix video of the game action here:

I am excited to see more of Jessica Damery and the Bellevue University Bruins women's soccer!

Adding Weybright branch to the family tree

Damery World Tree keeps growing and expanding as Denny has sent me a list up the Weybright branch back to the 1700's.
More information coming as I find time to add these records in and then hopefully get some stories and more family information. I hope to bring it to the Reunion in September but who knows...

Damery Easter Skype

I love that technology allows us to keep in touch and see and hear family even though they are far away and circumstances keep you apart. Skype is a very underused tool for reaching out to other family members. A phone call is quick and always good too but to hear and see the other persons face or what is going on in their world can speak volumes without words.
I love that I can just make a funny face (which comes way too easy for me) and make someone else laugh. I really appreciate those I have had the pleasure of skype-ing and look forward to hear and seeing you in the future.

God Bless, he is alive and back from the dead. Happy Easter indeed.

Damery Civil war findings

Image via Wikipedia

Well after watching the Ancestry show last week and hearing about the Judd's civil war connections. I decided to look into the Damery Civil war connections and I knew about John Damery who was born in Ireland and came to America with his parents and initially settled in Connecticut some time after the potato famine in Ireland and then joined the Civil war and after having 6 children was captured during the war and died in Andersonville prison. His brother Richard Damery had moved to the state of Illinois in the 1850's and finally in 1857 to Macon County Illinois when he went back to join the Civil war fight with Company B, Massachusetts 22nd Infantry Regiment in 1864.
Always proud of those who fight for the Freedoms of the land they believe in whether they are born here or not. I am proud of the Damery heritage in the civil war and the thought that they arrived in a new land of opportunity and was able to create for them selves lives with the freedom that the United States gave them.
