April 21, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Monday  1980  Beautiful day.  We attended Lizzie Slemp Wells funeral at Penn.  She was Elbert Slemps sister.  Went to Big Stone and paid for our tombstones.  Got some tomato plants and set them out.  

Footnote:  I'm not sure who Elbert Slemp - I have heard his name but don't know if he is related or a neighbor.   Big Stone Gap is a small town about 9 miles away. 

I love that they paid for tombstones and got tomato plants all at the same time.  One signifying the end and one showing a new beginning.  She was very practical.
