December[?] 1930 Thanksgiving &amp; Christmas on Line Fork<\/h3>\n<p>LINE FORK SETTLEMENT<br \/>\nTHANKSGIVING &amp; CHRISTMAS ON LINE FORK 1930<\/p>\n<p>Dear Friends:-<\/p>\n<p>You would have been interested in seeing the neighbors gathered at Bear Branch School for the Thanksgiving program and dinner. It was to begin at ten o\u2019clock but some pupils were late, so to fill in the time I read the story from the Nov. <em>Christian Herald<\/em> about \u201cPlenty and To Spare\u201d. It suited us so well that Manon Cornett remarked that he would like to read that again. He had not attended previous Thanksgiving Days not even when we had had the community dinner two years ago.\u00a0\u00a0 But this time nearly all of the Cornett family came; sons with their wives and children, brothers and their children, that is there are four brothers in this district and clustered around them at a distance of a quarter to half a mile are the sons and daughters with their little ones.\u00a0 It reminded one of the record of Noah when they begat sons and daughters.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Boggs the teacher is liked by everybody since he is well known having taught here before. He suggested the dinner this year making extra visits with Joe Sergent the teacher of the Coyle Branch school to invite the people to assist. Coyle Branch children came but not many of the parents.<\/p>\n<p>There were a few of the Thanksgiving poems recited by the children, appropriate hymns and scripture.\u00a0 The very little children sang the welcome song \u201cDear parents\u201d shyly but sweetly and then several other little songs.<\/p>\n<p>We couldn\u2019t have a big table but one was brought over from Bert\u2019s house and the biggest Cabin-tablecloth covered that and the teacher\u2019s desk.\u00a0 The women all brought their baskets and the food was displayed to that everyone could help himself after the children had been started with paper plates and a sandwich from my own homemade bread.\u00a0 There were plenty of biscuits, roasted sweet taters, chicken &amp; turkey, beef &amp; pork, canned beets, pickles, besides cakes.\u00a0 I also made some little turnover apple and raisin mince pies sweetened with sorghum molasses and drop cookies.\u00a0 They were real treats as I have not seen them in any home yet nor the sandwiches.\u00a0 The school seats were arranged around the sides of the room for the children to sit upon while they ate.\u00a0 But the adults stood around the table and ate until satisfied the children returning for second helpings when they wished.\u00a0 I hate to say what the school floor looked like but Loretta and Nancy Smith said they were going to sweep it up and make it look tidy for school by Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Martha Ann took the occasion to invite us to the 51<sup>st<\/sup> birthday dinner for Manon for Saturday of the same week and we accepted with pleasure.\u00a0 With some pride Marthy Ann showed me a letter from their daughter Orphie who was sent to Berea by one of [the] first workers at the Cabin and now she is studying nursing in Cincinnati.\u00a0 The letter was beautifully written and was a credit to any girl.\u00a0 She is the only one of this family of eight who has gotten away from Line Fork except one who evaded justice by going to Canada for a few years. He returned and now lives in a tiny shack with a young wife \u2013 his younger brother, wife and two babies in part of that. Another brother in speaking of Orphie said he did not see how she could stay away from home so long.<\/p>\n<p>This week three of Mary Smith\u2019s sons returned from the \u201cpen\u201d. \u00a0She called today and said she reckoned they would not go into the moonshining business again.\u00a0 But we know that she herself urges them to go it again soon after they get back.\u00a0 A son in law was out on parole but was taken up not three months after he reached home.\u00a0 It is born and bred in their bones.<\/p>\n<p>The Lewises and Smiths make another family group about two miles from the Cornetts.\u00a0 Three of their men have been given five year sentences.\u00a0 Two brothers and their families are not on speaking terms because one accuses the other of having been the cause of the imprisonment of his nephew altho they say he is as guilty as the one now serving time in jail.\u00a0 He informed against the nephew to save his own neck.\u00a0 It is impossible to bring a man to justice unless he is caught at the still or with the goods on him.<\/p>\n<p>We had Christmas dinner with Hen &amp; Sara Jane.\u00a0 This is the fourth time we have been invited there.\u00a0 Last year we did not go but thought that we would make it an opportunity for fellowship at this time. The conversation returned again and again to the subject of stills.\u00a0 The husband of one daughter is one of the five year prisoners while a son and another son-in-law are out on suspended sentences and are obliged to report every month as to what they are doing.\u00a0 I have just sent the son-in-law to Louisville for medical treatment and am taking the young wife to the Cabin for her first baby-party shortly.\u00a0 Sara Jane rooms and boards the two teachers and would have to send them away if she waited on Mary.\u00a0 So Mary asked if she might come here.\u00a0 I am more than willing as I can do it such more conveniently here.<\/p>\n<p>Another neighbor Mary Susan asked to come to the Cabin but when she tried to leave her home her sister Tildy who helps there caring for the four younger children threatened to leave.\u00a0 Moreover she declared she would not go in the night to the Cabin for the doctor.\u00a0 She would call Doc Metcalf and have him there which she did tho she had asked me to attend her and I had given her some advice that should have been helpful.\u00a0 However when I called four days after the party I found her alone with her two least ones.\u00a0 Tildy had gone to the store and the room was left uncared for.\u00a0 The soiled ragged old bedquilt left in a heap on the floor behind the bed.\u00a0 I found a broom and pulled out the beds one after the other.\u00a0 From under one bed a bushel basket of onions was removed to the chimney cupboard. A box of trash was removed to the other room and the soiled clothes were pitched into the yard back of the house.\u00a0\u00a0 I offered to change the bed but she said there was no other sheet dry. I really think she had none.\u00a0 In this case it was pure shiftlessness as the house is a new one and the husband one of the most successful moonshiners and bootleggers as well as a fugitive from justice.\u00a0 He never sleeps in the house but has a bed in a little shack in the forest.\u00a0 At times he comes to the Cabin for medicines and books.\u00a0 He is the only man who reads much.<\/p>\n<p>Emily\u2019s baby also arrived but she went home and her father Doc Metcalf attended her.\u00a0 When we were at the dinner party Marthy and her mother-in-law said to me confidentially \u201cClarence never seems to get along like the other boys.\u00a0 We help him to food but Emily hasn\u2019t any baby clothes and she is expecting its arrival any day.\u00a0 So I gathered from the Cabin stores a very modest little outfit and took it to Emily.\u00a0 Lily the other occupant of the cabin made a little Christmas gift for Emily\u2019s first one.\u00a0 She, another daughter-in-law of Marthy Ann\u2019s, was one of ten young women to make these gift-dresses for two year olds.\u00a0 I cut them out and made one as a sample as to how they would look when finished.\u00a0 Loretta and Nancy each made one and lost the neck and wrist finding so finished them with a contrasting material.\u00a0 But they finished them and little Arthur Christopher wore his to the Christmas Tree at Bear Branch school, living next door as they do.<\/p>\n<p>Only two or three babies were brought but Mr S recited \u201cHung up the Baby\u2019s Stocking\u201d.\u00a0 A rubber dog or kitten was sent to each one.\u00a0 At Coyle Branch tree the six kittens for the least ones were all in one stocking and by some mistake of Santa\u2019s or Mrs Santa the stocking got named for a little boy and he received the whole bag of kittens.\u00a0 Santa retrieved them later and they got to their proper owners.\u00a0 There was another mistake in the confusing of names \u2013 Aunt Jane and her granddaughter Mary Jane.\u00a0 There was a nice old soft black woolen veil for Aunt Jane and a purse for Mary Jane. The latter received both presents somehow while Aunt Jane\u2019s lap was full of toys for her daughter\u2019s (Dellie) babies they being yet too small to be taken to the tree.\u00a0 Mary Jane did not send the grandmother\u2019s gift to her at once and she was unhappy about it and her daughter Nance brought it back to the Cabin to-day saying that Mary Jane would have given it to grandmaw herself if she had not made such a fuss about it.\u00a0 Now I discover that the two families have not been speaking to each other for over a year and both are baptized Christians.\u00a0 I shall have a prayer meeting with Grandmaw (Aunt Jane).\u00a0 <u>She<\/u> has visions.\u00a0 She brought a bucket of honey to the Christmas tree from her bachelor son Monroe in payment for the doctor\u2019s services when Old Gran broke his scalp with a stick of stove wood.\u00a0 I wrote about this in a previous letter.<\/p>\n<p>This was at the Coyle Branch schoolhouse.\u00a0 There are thirty-six children on the school roll who with their parents so filled the little school there was hardly room for Santa to get in and we had such a cunning Little Santa about three feet high able to stand alone in his little black boots.\u00a0 He came from an\u00a0S S class in Louisville which sent us toys for the children of pre-school age while other friends helped us to give away to each child a tablet and pencil with some little gift wrapped up with it.\u00a0 Scripture text calendars were given to each of the forty seven families in the two districts.\u00a0 Then every woman had a wrapped gift sent by two or three friends who collect for Line Fork each year.\u00a0 Bless them!\u00a0 The oranges and raisins were eagerly accepted.\u00a0 There were enough for the pre-school children who were present.<\/p>\n<p>The program emphasized the meaning of the Christmas symbols such as the tree, the wreaths, the candles, the bells and the songs told the story of Christianity to Paganism.\u00a0 During the candle song, the leader held a large candle and each child held one lighted from that of the teacher while they sang with Mr S \u201cJesus bids us shine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The law-abiding men of the district are always fearing some misdemeanor at public gatherings but nothing happened this time.\u00a0 One man had been noisy at Bear Branch on Tuesday and he had disturbed the meeting at Trace Branch farther down the Fork on the preceding Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0 There was a warrant for his arrest which was served just before he entered the Coyle Branch school.\u00a0 That doubtless sobered him for the time being.\u00a0 His pals went his bail for a hundred dollars and he was free to appear in court later.\u00a0 The deputy sheriff a member of that school district was present and that helped matters.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly every day someone calls at the Cabin and if they were not remembered at the tree there is some little remembrance ready to be given.\u00a0 Droosh came to visit yesterday from Leatherwood bare headed and was very glad for the little hat that had been sent for me to pass on.\u00a0 A picture of kittens went to her sister and a dress to her mother Hannah who is a widow with four grown children one of whom has a job.\u00a0 Lige her bachelor brother has a job also.\u00a0 He has been a help to them making his home with her.\u00a0 But he has lately married and is now living elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Smith did not get to go to the tree but when she stopped this morning she had a box of gifts to take to daughter Janey and her three little ones.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday there was a rather large snowstorm but Isabel and Mandy waded thru it to bring the milk and remained for an hour for the S S lesson.\u00a0 Then came three more and Mr S gave them the lesson suited to their years.\u00a0 After dinner came four more girls just in time for the sermon in the Church of the air by Dr Hill<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a>. \u00a0One returned a book and took another.\u00a0 Ethel came to see us on Saturday and brought a book and took a new one back with her.\u00a0 She asked for one to take to her brother.\u00a0 The two she brought back Monday having read the one she took for herself but her brother did not care for his so returned it.\u00a0 He wishes an Indian tale so he got this time <em>The Deer Slayer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another visitor on Saturday was Delta Hall.\u00a0 We had just sat down to dinner.\u00a0 She had already eaten so waited till we were finished.\u00a0\u00a0 I asked her if she wanted something and she said, \u201cYes the baby has the colic\u201d.\u00a0 Oh I said is it Emily\u2019s baby.\u00a0 No she said it is our baby born last Sunday.\u00a0 Oh another Christmas baby I enthuse.\u00a0 You must call her Noel.\u00a0 It\u2019s a boy.\u00a0 Oh well Noel will do as well for a boy.\u00a0 I get the medicine and a gift for the new baby and promise myself to make a visit as soon as the snow goes down a little.\u00a0 The mother is Doc Metcalf\u2019s sister-in-law.<\/p>\n<p>And so the days go by. It sounds rather confusing but this is what \u201cNeighboring\u201d means at the Cabin on Line Fork.<\/p>\n<p>[signed] Sincerely Yours<\/p>\n<p>The Stapletons<\/p>\n<p>Transcribed by Gretchen Rasch, May 2015<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a>\u00a0 Dr John Leonard Hill (1878-1964).\u00a0\u00a0 A native Kentuckian, he was a Baptist leader, editor, professor at Georgetown University.
