SETTLEMENT<\/p>\n<p>GILLEY P O\u00a0 KY NOVEMBER 1930<\/p>\n<p>Dear Friends:-<\/p>\n<p>This is the coming-home month of Finley who has been in \u201cdurance vile\u201d these two years and Neelie has valiantly supported the family by odd jobs here and there.\u00a0 The one sure thing was the weekly laundry at the Cabin.\u00a0 Finley graciously wrote her that she might meet him in Harlan-town.\u00a0 \u201cIf she could find the money to get there he might be able to pay her way back\u201d.\u00a0 It is about twenty-five miles.\u00a0 The dry weather made it necessary for the Cabin as well as many others, in fact most of the neighbors to carry water from springs as the wells went dry.\u00a0 This gave Neelie an extra job and the money was saved for this eventful day with its trip to Harlan.\u00a0 The trail over Pine Mt to Dione the R R stop is a steep one thru the forest but the quickest way for a hiker.\u00a0 Neelie was going alone but it happened that Melda another neighbor in worse plight than Neelie because her husband has virtually refused her his home telling her to leave or else he would.\u00a0 There are six boys whom she could never hope to feed not even by begging from door to door so while he was preparing to leave she slipped out and sought refuge at the Cabin.\u00a0 This is eight miles from her home.\u00a0\u00a0 What to do to help poor Melda was a problem.\u00a0 Until I could write to several places she thought she could stay with a sympathetic neighbor nearby.\u00a0 It seemed as tho she might study nursing as she is the only one I have found in the vicinity who had a High School education.\u00a0 But she is too old to be accepted even had she been eager to do it.\u00a0 She thought she might do housework so I searched the want columns of a Louisville paper that had just come to hand and answered one offering a home with three dollars a week to an elderly person who would be a mother\u2019s helper in the home.\u00a0 A favorable reply came just in time to get Melda off with Neelie.\u00a0 She had come to the Cabin the night before and had the luxury of a bath and an opportunity to wash up her small belongings.\u00a0 Monday morning Neelie arrived in good time in a pouring rain.\u00a0 The train reached Dione at noon.\u00a0 Finley would not reach Harlan till four any-way and Melda would better reach Louisville in the morning so we persuaded Neelie to wait for an early dinner and take the evening train hoping the rain would stop which it did soon after dinner.\u00a0 I watched them while they picked their way across the swollen Fork and up the mountain side.\u00a0 Melda had a small pack and as I watched I saw Neelie turn to her and take her pack on her own back.\u00a0 I called a last good-bye as they entered the forest trail.\u00a0 Everett a step-son of Neelie\u2019s had returned and offered to mind his two half-brothers while Neelie was away till her return with Finley on the morrow.<\/p>\n<p>One day Bert was away and Jason was home with the children.\u00a0 The least-one went limp every two hours so Loretta must go to the Cabin for castor-oil and musterole and cough drops for Laurence was sick too.\u00a0 He is an imp so I took a malicious pleasure in knowing he was going to have a dose of castor-oil which Bert was quite capable of administering upon her return.\u00a0 The next day Loretta came again asking for \u201cpink pills\u201d.\u00a0 She seemed in no hurry but remained an hour or more.\u00a0 In the evening she returned, for her mother wished that I would go and see the baby.\u00a0 This I did and gave my favorite prescription \u2013 not to feed the little fellow until certain symptoms had subsided probably 24 hours.\u00a0 Before this time had elapsed Loretta was back with a request for \u201clisterine cough medicine\u201d because Mary Soosan (that\u2019s her spelling) said I had given <u>that<\/u> to her baby with spectacular results.<\/p>\n<p>A round about message came from Axe-Handle Branch for me to go and see Jake.\u00a0 But Swallow happened to be on another errand that day and the next was so windy as to make it rather dangerous for travellers in the forest, and a more urgent call the next day took me in another direction so it was some time before I set out to find Axe Handle.\u00a0 Off from Stony Fork at the head of the Branch one of the rudest of new log houses was the home of Jacob (Jake for short).\u00a0 He had recently come there had been a world-war veteran now a victim of circumstances with his deaf-mute wife and five living children \u2013 two having died.\u00a0 The least-one was six weeks old and had been much neglected as Jake had been ill several months and since the baby was born Sally the mother had been obliged to get the wood.\u00a0 The oldest child being a natural child is cared for by his maternal grandparents.\u00a0 The next is six years old and he helps his mother saw up the small trees after she has chopped them down.<\/p>\n<p>There was not much I could do for Jake but to get him treatment at a hospital.\u00a0 With a R R pass and acceptance at St Joseph\u2019s Infirmary in Louisville he is off and the energetic deaf-mute Sally is holding the fort on Axe Handle.\u00a0 Jake was expecting some sick aid from the Veterans\u2019 Bureau which will support the family until he is better and repay the doctor\u2019s loan should he not recover.<\/p>\n<p>An emergency call from below Gilley P O came one morning when we were at breakfast to a Baby-party.\u00a0 Arriving about ten o\u2019clock I found all the \u2018in-laws\u201d assembled \u2013 Florrie and her little four year old daughter, Lindy, Joe\u2019s wife; Cora, Kenton\u2019s wife; Doris, Harrison\u2019s wife; grandmother Liz that is mother in law who had acted as mid-wife at the previous confinement; a young widow, sister of the patient completed the guests.\u00a0 It was my first visit to this house and I was agreeably surprised and even elated to find it remarkably clean with linoleum on the floors.\u00a0 Kitchen cabinet and dish cupboard in the dining room.\u00a0 Two year old Doris trained to sit in her high chair until her hands were washed before she left the table.<\/p>\n<p>The patient had supplied plenty of sheets, gowns, pads and even her own rubber sheet.\u00a0 The party proceeded normally for an hour or two.\u00a0 Then some accident of birth caused the death of the child.\u00a0 There was some regret but the old grandmother said it was the best thing that could have happened and wished me to tell the children about the baby so after I had dressed it in its pretty little dress \u2013 the grandmother insisted on a bonnet \u2013 the children were brought in as well as the eighty-six year old grandfather.\u00a0 I repeated the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> Psalm and all the verses about children that I knew from the Bible and prayed.\u00a0 I told the children that their mammy had borned them a little sister but she had died and had gone to God.\u00a0 As I was leaving the four year old Beatrice followed me out on the porch and said, \u201cAin\u2019t you going to take your baby with you?\u201d \u201cNo, that is Mammy\u2019s baby\u201d I said.\u00a0 She remarked, \u201cThen it will have to be buried.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cYes it will have to be buried,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n<p>When I was on the way to visit my patient the succeeding morning and came opposite the house of the \u201cshooting-up\u201d (my first introduction to mountain tragedies) I could hear old Aunt Jane screaming \u201cYou have killed him\u201d.\u00a0 Soon a man came running to call the Dr and as I was right there I turned down the lane and crossed the creek to this house.\u00a0 On the back porch sat Monroe, his head supported in bloody hands altho the bleeding had been staunched by a thick application of black soot from the chimney.\u00a0 Aunt Jane told the sorry story.\u00a0 Thirty-five year old Monroe had quarrelled with his father.\u00a0 Old Gran picked up a jagged piece of stove wood and gave his son a murderous blow over the head.\u00a0 Monroe had fired a rock at him only intending to check his anger.\u00a0 \u201cIf he hadn\u2019t been my father\u201d he wailed \u201cI would have killed him\u201d.\u00a0 The doctor succeeded after some difficulty in cleaning up the wound and the patient.\u00a0 To get some sterile dressings some sugar pokes had to be boiled in the tea kettle.<\/p>\n<p>Two or three grandchildren wanted to see all there was to see and I had to be very severe even to keep them out of my way.\u00a0 Aunt Jane had a sore toe which must be looked at.\u00a0 I seized one of the grandchildren and washed its face while the grandmother went to find a washboard the child came to borrow and would not leave till the board was produced.\u00a0 When this was done and the child was on its way home I prescribed for the toe.<\/p>\n<p>Old Gran had taken himself off to the fields up the mountain but I told Aunt Jane to tell him that I was thoroughly ashamed of him.\u00a0 She reckoned that \u201cboth he and Monroe ought to be ashamed of theirselves\u201d.\u00a0 Monroe was lectured a little and advised to get into the house, his part being the upper room, then shut the door and let Pap bang on the door rather than on his head.\u00a0 Monroe said, \u201cPap has always hated me since I was born and would like to kill me.\u201d\u00a0 They have had many quarrels.\u00a0 Once they knifed each other. \u00a0\u00a0These two had been injured when a brother was killed and I had gone down in the middle of the night to dress their wounds at the \u201cshooting up\u201d four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>We have had a delightful visit from Miss Wood who was for six years a teacher at Pine Mt.\u00a0 She is now visiting the High Schools in the Mountains to aid young people in wisely choosing a vocation that will be of the greatest help in the future.\u00a0 One day we got another horse and she went with the doctor on one of her longer trips.\u00a0 I had promised to go to Mrs Griffis on a certain day as she was going to give me a suckling pig.\u00a0 It rained so hard that day that I could not make it but the next day it was possible so we went up Bear Branch and climbing to the top of the ridge went along the summit for some two miles and altho I had been there not three weeks ago I couldn\u2019t find the trail to her cabin.\u00a0 We turned back to a corn field thru which I had passed on a former occasion and so was sure of that way but did not enjoy letting down the fence to get in and out of the field and then to replace the rails.\u00a0 However it could be done but then the field was so steep I just walked down to the next fence and got that ready for Bess the other horse to go thru.\u00a0 A convenient rock made a good mounting block and soon we arrived at the cabin of Mrs Griffis.\u00a0 She said she had expected me the day before and was sorry to disappoint me as the pigs had all disappeared.\u00a0 She and Mary were just about to go and hunt them.\u00a0 Miss Wood wanted to take a picture of the cabin and Mary with her Maw.\u00a0 Mary had on a pair of boy\u2019s knickers that had been given to Norman the blind boy of the house.\u00a0 So she hurried to change into her pink dress and some stockings.\u00a0 She wouldn\u2019t \u201chave her picture took bare legged\u201d.\u00a0 It was about noon and we were urgently invited to stay while some food was prepared.\u00a0 But I begged off and as we went for our horses Mrs Griffis said, \u201cNorman will be so sorry not to see you.\u00a0 He was aflictin\u2019 and apunishin\u2019 terrible because he was asleep the other time you came.\u00a0 But I want you to see our fatting hog Kitten, he\u2019s so gentle.\u00a0 Get in there Mary and scratch his side.\u00a0 He\u2019ll lay down every time and grunt when she does that.\u201d\u00a0 So Mary climbs in the hog enclosure and obediently scratches Kitten\u2019s back.\u00a0 Sure enough Kitten grunted with satisfaction and lay down.\u00a0 In an adjoining pen is \u201cSammer\u201d a wild thing that they had coaxed in with difficulty and he had given Mrs Griffis a savage bite on her leg.\u00a0 Ned his companion wasn\u2019t doing well at all so he had been made into meat for immediate use and a piece of this meat was offered me in lieu of the suckling pig.\u00a0 Later a neighbor of hers, Malviny, brought the word that the pigs had finally returned with the old sow.<\/p>\n<p>We went on down Stony Fork to Leatherwood and called on Ophie.\u00a0 She has a lovely little place near her brother\u2019s store and after her husband was killed three years ago she learned weaving at Pine Mt School and has made enough blankets and coverlets since to support herself and her three children.\u00a0 She has the house and garden from her brother.\u00a0 We were glad to share her dinner.\u00a0 She herself is so attractive and the food was prepared so well.\u00a0 An old woman was spinning for her and she had a nice lot of wool yarn ready for some blankets and a coverlet for which she has orders.<\/p>\n<p>Two miles up Leatherwood we come to Delphi [Delphia] P O near by which Melda lived.\u00a0 She had left a few clothes with a neighbor and I had promised to get them for her for I needed to call on the little undernourished baby there.<\/p>\n<p>Two miles further at the very head of the Leatherwood we called on old \u201cMis\u201d Gross again.\u00a0 She was pitifully glad to see us tho in great pain and insisted on her daughter giving me again some \u201csweet taters\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A long climb to the top of the ridge thru dense woods then down Long Branch where the forest has many beeches besides oaks, maples and chestnuts.\u00a0 At the mouth of Long Branch we come again on Line Fork.\u00a0 A stop at the post office for the daily mail as we ascend the Fork we come again to the Cabin at dusky dark.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours<\/p>\n<p>The Stapletons<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>** Transcription by Gretchen Rasch, May 2015<\/p>\n<p>BACK TO:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><a
