December 6, 1979, Thursday Aunt Estelle wrote

Cloudy, rain.   Cloudy all day and started rain by dark.  I was up to Jennings this eve, then we all went up to Maude Hyatt Ely's store where she was having a yard sale.  Smith Kevin went in hospital for a abscess surgery tomorrow.  Radious & Walter were down awhile. 


Footnote:   Jennings is her brother who lives "just up the road".   Maude Hyatt Ely is a neighbor and friend for many years.  She and her first husband, Paul Hyatt, owned one of the local filling stations/variety store in the neighborhood.   Smith Kevin is her nephew, son of her youngest brother, Everette and Ruth his wife.    Radious and Walter are neighbors. 


Would love to see what Maude Hyatt was selling in the yard sale.  Maude and her first husband, Ralph owned one of the  filling stations in the neighborhood.  It was also a grocery/variety store where you could get just about anything you needed from crackers to nails.  I remember when my Daddy would take us down to Deep Springs to visit relatives, he would sometimes stop at Paul's filling station and I would get to have a fudgecicle - chocolate ice cream on a stick - my favorite.
