May 25, 1979, Friday Aunt Estelle wrote

Cloudy, rain    Rain all day and 48 degrees.  I washed a load of clothes.  We had to pick up Wendi this evening.  To church tonite.  Edith and Roy were in after church, they stayed with Elizabeth while Jennings went to church. 


Footnote by Pat:   Wendi is her granddaughter.  Edith is her sister and Roy is Edith's husband.   They all live in Big Stone Gap, Va.  about 9 miles away.  Elizabeth is her sister-in-law, married to Jennings, her brother.   They live nearby.  Church is the Deep Springs Missionary Baptist Church and it is about a mile from her house.  It is still there today,  as the  State of Virginia didn't take it when they built the new highway.  When the state was building the new highway, they renamed a bridge in honor of Estelle's grandfather.  The bridge is now the Dr. Daniel Sheffey Reasor  Bridge and it is located near Dryden, Va. , about 5-7 miles going West on Highway 58.  Several of the great-grandchildren were there for the dedication and we have to thank Stephen Reasor for his efforts in getting the bridge named.
