1980 Wednesday . Warmer. Rained all last night and today. I sewed some and washed Millards clothes. We went down to Mr. and Mrs. Jake Parsons a minute for a visit. To prayer meeting tonite.
Footnote: Millard is her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Parsons are old friends who live in the community. Prayer meeting was the Wednesday night service at the church.
1981 Thursday. Rain all day 48 degrees. I sewed on my quilt pieces a lot. Had to pick Wendi up at 2 o'clock. We all come down to Edith & Roy's & visited awhile.
Footnote: Wendi is her granddaughter. Edith is her sister and Roy is Edith's husband. They all live in Big Stone Gap, about 9 miles from Deep Springs where Estelle lives.
I was talking to Mother (Edith Shuler) yesterday and she gave me this news -Please keep in mind that she doesn't always get the story straight . Susie Baker- I think she was a Howard- was driving her car and Bill Roberts was in the car with her. For some reason, Susie turned around in the middle of the road and was going the wrong way and had a collision. Susie has 5 bones broken in both of her arms, was in Bristol and was transferred to Knoxville and is now back in Pennington Gap where her daughter is taking care of her. I got the impression she was in Pennington Hospital. Bill Roberts is in Health South in Kingsport. Doug went to see him and told Mother he was in "bad shape". Brace on his neck with injuries to his back, neck and head. I tried to call Doug to get the story but he didn't answer. Bill's wife died a couple years ago and Bill has had a lady staying there with his daughter since her death. His daughter is mentally disabled. Just thought those of you who know these people would want to know about this terrible accident.
