   2      cups          Celery -- diced

Soak beans overnight in water to cover.  In the morning drain off all water.  
Add fresh water and cook until almost soft. Wash ham and cover with cold
 water and boil until tender. Skim fat from the ham broth and add the beans and other ingredients. 
 Cook until the potatoes are soft. Serve at once.
