July 20, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Sunday,  Fair   Hot.  We had lunch at the Coach House,  our family, 40 strong.  Went over to Edith's afterwards.  We had 7 baptized at church tonite.  Ginger Castle, Inez Pearson,  Tim & Sharon Shuler were in it.  Roy, Edith, Patricia & kids, Jennings, Ken & Jeaneen, Betty Jean, Curt & Martha were all here tonite. 


Footnote:  Coach House was a nice restaurant in Big Stone Gap.  I wish she had listed all the family members that were there.  Edith is her sister and she lived in Big Stone Gap, not far from the Coach House.  She belonged to the Deep Springs Missionary Baptist Church, about a mile from where she lived.  Don't know Ginger or Inez.  Tim and Sharon Shuler are church members.  Tim is the son of Harold and Virginia Shuler - Virginia was a Slemp and related to Estelle.  Their mothers were half-sisters.  They all lived nearby.  Edith is her sister and Roy is Edith's husband.  Patricia is their daughter and she has two daughters.  They live in Cincinnati.  Ken is the son of Jennings (Estelle's brother).  Jeaneen is Kenneth's wife and they are visiting from Iowa.  Betty Jean is the daughter of Jennings and she lives in Arkansas.    Curt is her brother-in-law and Martha is his wife.  Quite a busy day I would say.
