I remember when
- Mother said there would be no one left to put flowers on the graves. (My purpose for the trip)
- Lela was afraid of the Mulder Hill after a team of horses and the wagon wrecked on the hill.
- We left at midnight from Uncle Pete's by wagon to get the train in Campbellsville.
- Paul died of broken legs and punctured lungs after drinking.
- Ransom died from drinking.
- Your Uncle Granvil brought me down to the county fair so he could see his 'woman'. He suddenly remember I was there and told me I better not tell Verilla!
- My Dad paid his brother money for land to build a house on. Dad lost the land and house because his brother never paid the man he had bought the land from.
- Dad said, "Do you think this will be my last trip to Columbia?" What do you say to that except-I don't know?
- Dad said-"Many, many thanks to you for taking me today."
These are just a few things we talked about today as we went down memory lane together. Columbia is such a pretty little town. I could live on Burton Ridge! (Highway 206 east for the less informed.)
Good night and love to all,
Lady J
