<strong>Nancy Ann<\/strong> says she has already eight bushels of dried apples and all her jars full of apple butter.&nbsp; She dried a lot for little <strong>Martha<\/strong> of the Eagle\u2019s Nest as she wasn\u2019t able to do much, expecting another baby which is her third to arrive in the full of the moon that I have assisted.&nbsp; I hated to go up Coyle Branch.&nbsp; It isn\u2019t so bad up to the Crow\u2019s Nest, but beyond that, it is just a rocky ravine.&nbsp; John, her husband said he worked three days to make it safer for the doctor and indeed it was much better than the first time I went over it.&nbsp; After I got out on the road I was really delighted to be once again out in such a brilliant night and Miss Baby arrived by sun up, so she just must be a child of light all rosy, like the dawn.&nbsp; Someone must have pranked five year old <strong>Bethel<\/strong> about giving [up] his little sister but he said quite decidedly \u201cI\u2019d not give her up if she was a hundred sisters\u201d.&nbsp; <strong>John<\/strong> told Marthy she might choose between Mary Ann and Addie for a name and as Mary Anns are all too numerous in the valley Martha thought Addie would be nicer and suit well her sister\u2019s name Gertie.&nbsp; So she is <strong>Addie<\/strong> and so very sweet and good.&nbsp; Martha stayed in bed five days then John had to go foddering and she was obliged to get up and wait on the young \u2018uns.&nbsp; On the eighth day I found her canning peaches that had to be saved.&nbsp; Martha\u2019s step-mother <strong>Zion<\/strong> of the golden hair, at the Falcon\u2019s Nest is not agreeable to her step-children so she made no effort to be helpful at all.&nbsp; <strong>Mary<\/strong> was still at the Crow\u2019s Nest so she washed two or three times for Martha but as <strong>Henry<\/strong> has a job of digging coal at Pine Mountain with her father they moved down near to her mother\u2019s home.&nbsp; They now occupy the old shop where her sister <strong>Viola<\/strong> lived with her four.&nbsp; But when <strong>Mary Belle<\/strong> fell out with <strong>Charlie<\/strong> she took her dolls (baby) home to her mother\u2019s house and Viola moved into that house on the hill behind the house so she could keep chickens without their being a nuisance to her mother\u2019s garden.&nbsp;&nbsp; But when she got moved, <strong>Iry <\/strong>sent her only five dollars instead of ten so she couldn\u2019t buy the chicks.&nbsp; She had already bargained for Mary Belle\u2019s hens and paid a quarter down.&nbsp; On the other hand when Mary Belle arrived at her home her mother insisted that she bring her hens at least to help support her so the Cabin yet gets eggs now and then from Mary Belle.&nbsp; <strong>Rosie<\/strong> her niece who has been raised by her \u201cMaw\u201d brought eggs for a tablet and pencil and hadn\u2019t I some used shoes so that she could keep on at school.&nbsp; She is a large girl so was able to use the one pair of used shoes that remained to be passed on.&nbsp; Two or three garments were added to the parcel that will serve her for at least three months.&nbsp; The sixteen [year old] <strong>Rosie<\/strong> is only now in the second reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going back to apples \u2013 nearly every place has a small drying kiln with a protecting shed over it as the frequent rains are very detrimental to drying of apples.&nbsp; Some of us have to dry them on the roof and they are not so nice.&nbsp; <strong>Susie<\/strong> has a sixteen quart lard can full of apple butter.&nbsp; Grace has two hundred quarts of peaches.&nbsp; We had quite a few peaches from two trees that were set out five years ago.&nbsp; I canned some twenty quarts of them myself.&nbsp; The grapes promised well but when half grown began to turn brown and fall off.&nbsp; There are apple-paring parties at the various farms, the young folk carrying their own knives with them as no family has more than one or possibly two of their own.&nbsp; At one place I was offered a pan of peaches from which to select some to eat and the only knife available was the rusty stub of a carving knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bert came one day to borrow a \u201ckittle\u201d in which to make apple butter as she had two hundred jars to fill.&nbsp; She would be very careful of it.&nbsp; The only one she had was always full of beans, cornfield string beans, for her family of ten.&nbsp;&nbsp; As Nancy was in school she brought the least one with her and even stopped at the Health House to see <strong>Neely<\/strong> with her new little son.&nbsp; It was quite a concession on <strong>Bert<\/strong>\u2019s part who had told me very seriously that she might forgive Neely but she would never speak to her again.&nbsp; Neely had forgiven Bert so we feel that there has been a spirit of Love abroad that has brought about this friendly attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neely was worrying one day as to how she would manage when the time came so I told her she should come to the Health House and be a patient in the smallest hospital ever was.&nbsp; We gave <strong>Findley<\/strong> a weekly job in place of Neely doing our washing and told him we would not give Neely any more washing, that he could earn the same amount that had kept the wolf from the door all the time he was in prison.&nbsp; When the ordeal was on I made Finley clean up and cover his soiled and patched overalls with a nurse\u2019s apron.&nbsp; He was my only attendant.&nbsp; He slept on a cot bed for three nights after the event and waited on her.&nbsp; Then he needs must go \u201csanging\u201d and Neely stayed by herself two nights.&nbsp; By that time she was strong enough to go home and the baby is the best one of all the seven she has mothered. &nbsp;She asked for the washing again but we insisted that she had enough to do now with caring for her baby and the others.&nbsp; So she must let Finley do the earning.&nbsp; It was noon when she came to the Cabin and as there was plenty of hot water I made her take an all over bath in the tub, her first experience in a tub in all her forty-three years.&nbsp; She had such a quiet restful time in the Health House it was like a vacation to [be] away from the noisy household.&nbsp; She felt so well and strong I let her go home on the sixth day and loaned her the baby bed which she promised to use in the day-time at least as netting spread over the box would keep the flies from the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now I have another patient in the Health House.&nbsp; His mother <strong>Rhoda<\/strong> brought little <strong>John<\/strong> \u2013 eleven from five miles distant on Little Laurel.&nbsp; An abscessed tonsil resulted in an infected face very swollen and painful, so I just said to his mother stay here and nurse him.&nbsp; We can take care of him better here than you could at home.&nbsp; He is a grandson of <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2005\"><strong>Uncle William<\/strong><\/a> who gave the land for Pine Mountain school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some four years ago a grand-father brought two orphan children whom he and their grand-mother had raised to ten and twelve years.&nbsp; When the grandmother died they came back to this section and he wanted to put the two into Pine Mountain School.&nbsp; But they had not been to school at all so had to be refused.&nbsp; <strong>Grandfather Sparkman<\/strong> died after a year or so and then <strong>Hazel<\/strong> and her brother lived here and there with relatives as they could all being rather poor. Hazel kept in school more or less and last year lived with a neighbor who had been taught in Hindman School.&nbsp; She proved a real mother to homeless Hazel and made her feel at home with her own children.&nbsp; She learned readily and this Fall asked again to go to Pine Mt School.&nbsp; As she came over to the Cabin her uncle gave her a dollar and promised me to get one dollar a month for her if he could get any work.&nbsp; Some friends have helped to get her a very modest outfit of clothes and she is beginning her home at Pine Mt in <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=262\">Big Log,<\/a> the home of some sixteen girls with <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1866\"><strong>Gladys Hill<\/strong><\/a> as house-mother.&nbsp; Several other girls and boys from Leatherwood are now at Pine Mt this Fall but only two from Line Fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Earl<\/strong> and <strong>Katie<\/strong> with baby <strong>Eva<\/strong> came from Bee Hive Branch twelve miles distant to pay a call.&nbsp; The doctor had visited them a year ago when Earl had the influenza and was very sick.&nbsp; This was their first chance to say thank you with a call.&nbsp; He was very enthusiastic with his \u201cYes-Sirs\u201d until I laughingly suggested to Katie that he might say Yes Marm to me. When he understood the joke he said \u201cYes sir\u201d and blushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Della Browning<\/strong> had been treated for trachoma at the Federal hospital in Richmond Kentucky.&nbsp; For two years she has been quite free from the disease but a few days ago <strong>Buddie Shepherd <\/strong>her husband came to say she was very bad again and could she go to Richmond and take her little five months old baby as what could he do with \u201chit\u201d?&nbsp; He had built a little cabin for her a mile from his father\u2019s house.&nbsp; To-morrow I\u2019ll take the pass for her and make a trip up Old House Branch making several calls on Big Leatherwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I forgot to say in the last paragraph that Earl\u2019s and Katie\u2019s clothing was much the worst for wear and I was glad to have some things to pass on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had our third annual Labor Day picnic at the Cabin last Monday when the children of the two schools came with their teachers.&nbsp; As they arrived each was served with lemonade.&nbsp; Quite a few of the parents were present.&nbsp; <strong>Mr Stapleton<\/strong> for a few minutes talked to them about the PEACE PACT and sang \u201cWe ain\u2019t going to study war no more\u201d and \u201cO Happy World\u201d.&nbsp; One teacher held the big flag and a dozen boys stood around him with small flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then all were served a ham-sandwich and a cooky on a paper napkin.&nbsp; When these were disposed of they went to the big table and were helped to some of the good things their parents had brought \u2013 sweet taters, roasting \u201cyears\u201d, biscuits, chicken dumplings, fried chicken, pie, cake\u2019n everything.&nbsp; I served coffee in <strong>Miss Pettit<\/strong>\u2019s big aluminum cups.&nbsp; <strong>Sara Jane<\/strong> served the dumplings.&nbsp; Nancy and other mothers helped the children and young people as they came to the table or they were invited to help themselves to the lemonade as long as it lasted.&nbsp; <strong>Miss Aimes<\/strong> the secretary at Pine Mountain came over on Saturday and greatly assisted in getting things ready Monday morning.&nbsp; <strong>Mr and Mrs Morris<\/strong> directors at Pine Mt made their first visit to this extension center together and met the neighbors gathered here.&nbsp; With bouncing balls and some stunts the young people were interested until three o\u2019clock when all passed the doctor and were given a sweet good-bye with taffy-on-a-stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were several who needs must see the doctor so these had to be seen while the picnic was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr S continues his services on Sundays at Bear Branch school house.&nbsp; One alone was in attendance two weeks ago since there were several baptismal services at different points in other sections.&nbsp; But there have been a fair number at other times.&nbsp; He will preach in the Chapel at Pine Mt next Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we are looking forward to the fair at Pine Mt September 26<sup>th<\/sup>.&nbsp; I have two girls making a bit of crocheting and others sewing a garment to exhibit.&nbsp; There are hopes that some will be interested in showing some better baking or some of their canned fruit.&nbsp; Our zinnias and marigolds won a prize last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely yours,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ida S Stapleton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**Transcribed by Gretchen Rasch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BACK TO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=8315\">GUIDE TO DR.
