| 8551 | MHR note: from Clara (Enix) Gearhart, October 1950. Aunt Rosann (Hedges) Gilkison told me about a time when “Vian” married George G. Hamm, and they had a big gang around in hunting season, something like a resort hotel. They lived in a big “double” log house, with a long porch, about 40 or 45 ft. long. It had a big chimney in the middle, and fireplaces on each side. They had an “everlasting” spring in the yard, and a long gourd dipper with a hole drilled near the tip of the neck part, to hang it on a rail on the tree near the spring. Everyone who came by to drink from the spring used this dipper, of course. One time Vian was getting a noon meal with that whole gang of men waiting to eat, and had her bread dough made up and on a big wooden cooking tray ready to bake (The trays were of white linden wood – light and as white as could be.) Vian turned her back, going about her work, when one of the great hunting hounds darted up and grabbed the dough in its mouth (it stuck together all in one mess.) and tore out into the yard with it and had wolfed it down, all but a bit, when they discovered it. Then Vian had to go to work and mix up about a half-bushel of flour into another batch, before the men could eat. (Clara went over to the Basfords, neighbors, and borrowed one of the old trays, tho smaller than the one Vian had used, to show Mrs. Reiner. Basfords’ tray was about 20 inches across the long way, and was sloped down into a bowl-like shape, the open top being in a rectangle, longer than side, with corners rounded a bit.) | Hedges, Vianna Jane (I5)

| 8552 | MHR note: in letter from Ida Cronkhite dated 2 January 1951. They told me "Jim" Carey's story when I was small. He was courting Eliza Jane [Cassity] when along came the Mexican Was. He was in the army that went to Mexico City. He returned with badly shattered health. My father went with him to see an old lady that cured by "conjur". She rubbed the sore place on his side, and told him he would soon vomit, and get well. They started home and he did vomit; said he was throwing up some cheese he had eaten in Mexico City - tasted just like it! He did get well at last. In the meantime he had renewed his suite with Eliza Jane. Finally when his health was nearly restored, they married. The way I remember the story, the first child, a boy, was diseased, and did not live long. The twins Will, and Alice, were O.K., but Eliza Jane soon died, and he married P. [Permalia} Brain. He volunteered in the Federal Army in the Civil War, much to the disgust of the Brain family, who favored the Confederacy. My brother, Charley, met Will and his sister Alice in Missouri, and they claimed him for a first cousin, because their mother and our father had been double cousins. | Carey, James Madison (I429)
