October 26, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Sunday  Fair cool beautiful  1980 .  Janice & Wendi & Jennings ate lunch with us.  Heard Elsie Moore Ely (Howard's x) died Oct 19 last Wed.  Janice, Wendi & I went to Harlan, bought 2 Christmas gifts.  Curt & Martha were here when we got back. 

Footnote:   Janice is her daughter and Wendi is her granddaughter.  Jennings is her brother.  Howard Ely is her brother-in-law and he was married to Elsie at one time.   Harlan, Kentucky is a town that is about 40 miles (I am guessing) over the mountain.  Was known as "bloody Harlan" in the 50's as there was many people killed in the coal miner and union disputes.  There is a book that was written about all the troubles and as I remember it is called "Bloody Harlan".  Curt and Martha are relatives of her husband, Millard.  They visited them often.
