January 7, 1979, Sunday Aunt Estelle wrote

Rain.  We are drowned.  It rained all last nite and all day today.  Curt come to feed his cattle and took us to church and Janice and Wendi brought us back.  I felt so tough nearly all day.  We went up to fabric shop a few minutes.  Reba come for me to go to church tonite and Jennings brought me back.  We had the lord's supper and missed Everette so bad. 


Footnote:  Curt is her brother-in-law.  Janice is her daughter and Wendi is Janice's daughter.  Reba is her sister-in-law.  Everette is her youngest brother who passed away May 22, 1978.  She was very close to him as they lived just across the road from each other all their adult lives and all on the same farm where they grew up.   Everette died in the yard at his house - was mowing the grass and sat down under the walnut tree.   It was a shock to everyone in the family as he was so healthly looking and worked hard every day.  He worked at Pet Dairy in Big Stone Gap.    My Daddy and Redge Ely (Estelle's son) also worked at Pet Daiy. They both retired from Pet and now the plant in Big Stone  Gap is closed and torn down. 

Happy Birthday to Shanna!!!!
