The hospital was finished after years of work and prayer by a Dr McConville of Brooklyn, N Y who had sensed the great need of a hospital in the rural village of Oneida. I thought that I would like to see it and maybe help arrange the beds and furniture for two or three days.<\/p>\n<p>There was a downpour of rain the day we started and when we came to Manchester, the county seat of Clay Co at the end of the R R and the pike or made road, we found there was no chance to go the fourteen miles to Oneida in anything but a mail wagon.\u00a0 After a night at the quaint old Webb Hotel, where we slept in a room with two double beds and a fire place, a rope attached to a ring in the floor under the window to be used as a fire escape in case of need, Mr Webb himself entered in the morning to make the fire before we got up.<\/p>\n<p>A very hearty breakfast was ready for us.\u00a0 There was fried chicken as well as biscuits, poached eggs on toast, fresh pork, corn bread, several kinds of jam and honey.\u00a0 The night\u2019s lodgings with supper and breakfast only cost us one dollar and fifty cents.<\/p>\n<p>About nine we were told the mules were ready.\u00a0 The mail and our bags were loaded in a regular old prairie schooner, called a \u201cjolt wagon\u201d by someone who had experienced it before.\u00a0 The spring-seat was hardly wide enough for three so our young driver perched himself on the edge of the wagon box. \u00a0He was such a good looking boy but rather uncommunicative.\u00a0 At first he said that he didn\u2019t know that the mules had any names and I heard him say occasionally in a commanding voice \u201cHy thar mule\u201d and a little slap of the reins always brought a response from the mule.\u00a0 Later he forgot himself and mentioned Joe and Henry.\u00a0 I never had so much respect for mules before.\u00a0 In every difficult muddy place they just dug in with all their might without urging and pulled the wagon thru mud holes over sizeable hills, thru long stretches of creek-beds and lastly before coming to the half-way post office Tanksley thru Goose creek, almost a river as the water came into the wagon-box.\u00a0 At one rather steep place we were shown where the steering gear of the mail-truck, he was driving in the summer time, gave way and the truck rolled over and over into the creek below.\u00a0 What did he do?\u00a0\u00a0 Climbed out, got some farmer to haul out the car and rescue Uncle Sam\u2019s mail.\u00a0 A wheel was broken.\u00a0 He borrowed a mule, rode back to Manchester got a new wheel put it in place then proceeded with the mail several hours late but he \u201cgot thar\u201d.\u00a0 For four months of the year, cars cannot make it hence the wagons.<\/p>\n<p>At Tanksley, we climbed down by way of the whiffle-tree and took a walk to the farm house some little distance from the store and post office.\u00a0 It had taken three hours of jolting to bring us seven miles.\u00a0 Soon we saw a similar wagon approaching drawn by Kate and Sally as determined to do their job well as Joe &amp; Henry had been with theirs.\u00a0 This driver reckoned his part of the road was muddier but maybe not as rough.\u00a0 Another three hours and the wagon lurched in and out of mud holes and all the way there was mud so the mules were splashed to their ears and plenty of splashes reached our faces as we clung desperately to the seat and braced our feet against the dash board.<\/p>\n<p>The valley along Beech Fork and Goose Creek is somewhat wider than Line Fork and the mountains considerably lower.\u00a0 The houses suggested a bit more prosperous farmers than our neighbors here.\u00a0 At a tiny tin roofed post office building he unloaded the mail and then took us up to Melrose Hall the Girls\u2019 Building of Oneida Community school started by \u201cBurns of the mountains\u201d thirty years ago.\u00a0 A Boys\u2019 Hall and school building occupy the top of a mound made by Goose Creek and Red Bird Creek coming together in such a way they almost make an island of the village.\u00a0 The one large brick building in the center of a good sized plot of level ground surrounded by a wire fence is the Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>How eagerly we visited it the next morning and how disappointed we were to find that it lacked a good deal of being finished and no furniture had come.\u00a0 As we stood at the front door a woman came to beg our attendance on a sick neighbor who was confined to her bed.\u00a0 Dr Jones who has been the main stay of the people for thirty years having gone away for a rest.<\/p>\n<p>As there was nothing I could do to help, the next day I started for home alone over those awful roads.\u00a0 As we waited for the mail wagon to start the old dentist of the town came up and begged Miss Purbrick to let him take her to the sick woman who had asked for assistance the day before at the hospital.\u00a0 She had called a doctor from Manchester and he would have her taken to his hospital there.\u00a0\u00a0 She agreed if the nurse would go with her.\u00a0 So the day after I left she accompanied the sick one who was placed on a cot bed with springs in the jolt wagon to the hospital and back again to Oneida the day following thru that mud leaving the patient in Manchester in charge of a practical nurse who had had no experience except what she had learned by working for the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Later I heard from Miss Purbrick that furniture was on the way and she using her time to call on the people of the village and becoming acquainted.\u00a0 They were so eager and happy that the hospital was soon to be opened.\u00a0 As I left I felt so proud of the little nurse who had the courage to undertake the opening of that work.\u00a0 I shall want to visit there again sometime but not in the Winter.\u00a0 They say that Goose Creek is a dream of beauty in Spring and Summer.<\/p>\n<p>As we went to Oneida we met twenty-six horsemen with a few women travelling thru the mud on their way to Manchester.\u00a0 There were several wagons with four mules attached.\u00a0 They say they are used to the mud and haul freight whenever there is anything to haul except when the river rises above the road.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Sandhill, the place where we cross Pine Mt, to get on to Line Fork.\u00a0 Mr S had brought Bess and was waiting for me so I left the bus here.\u00a0 It is a little better than a mile from Cumberland and I was glad not to be riding on the pike with cars whizzing by every minute.\u00a0 The horses are not really afraid but a little uncertain and nervous at times.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather be climbing the mountain than \u201c\u2018earing the \u2018orses go \u2018ammer,\u2019ammer, \u2018ammer on the \u2018ard \u2018ighway\u201d.\u00a0 I kept comparing our road to that one in Clay County.\u00a0 Except for crossing the mountain that one was the worse of the two; tho it takes three hours to go the eleven miles.\u00a0 The Cabin seemed so dear and homelike, so quiet after the rushing busses.<\/p>\n<p>Mr S had rather enjoyed his house-keeping.\u00a0 He even had the local teachers \u201ctake a night with him\u201d and a boy with him for Sunday dinner.\u00a0 A few days after my return Old Uncle Ira of Trace Branch called to ask us to assist at the burial of his young grandson \u2013 the apple of his eye \u2013 who had died of pneumonia after a short illness.\u00a0 He felt that he was the chief mourner as the child had been so much attached to him.\u00a0 We started early the next morning and reached the house of mourning about ten o\u2019clock some six miles down Line Fork and two up over a mountain parallel to Pine Mt to a hollow on Trace Branch where Uncle Ira\u2019s father had built a fair sized log house some ninety years ago.\u00a0 Beside it is the burying ground of this branch of the Holcomb family.\u00a0 Only two other graves not their own are there said Uncle Ira.<\/p>\n<p>But we went first to the house of his son where the burial service was already in progress.\u00a0 The living room containing two beds and a cot was crowded with women and a few men while a dozen more stood about out-side or sat on the edge of the stoop.\u00a0 The local preacher who lives in the old house was talking and he continued for another half hour after we arrived.\u00a0 Then Uncle Ira would have Mr S say something and we sang \u201cJewels\u201d.\u00a0 I must then look at the little form to please Uncle Ira in the neat black coffin made by his Uncle Frank Hall.\u00a0 It was supported on a box between the two beds on which the people were sitting.<\/p>\n<p>The box that had served as a table was still littered with bottles, cups, fruit and everything that had been used for the sick child.\u00a0 Fannie the mother and Robert the father with three older children were inconsolable and needs must follow in the procession to the burying ground leaving the six weeks old twins with two kindly old ladies who were nussing them.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly we wended our way down the branch crossing it twice on unreliable slippery stones.\u00a0 Another season of preaching and prayer at the grave side with floods of tears from the family huddled around the coffin which was opened again for one last look.\u00a0 Finally it was over and as the men filled in the soil Uncle Ira showed the grave house he had built for his wife.\u00a0 Her one request when dying had been that her grave should be kept dry.\u00a0\u00a0 He had kept his word that it should be.\u00a0 Two sons had met their death by shooting at the hands of another at the very door of the \u201cChurch in the wild wood\u201d.\u00a0 He had managed to get a stone for them a low marble arch connected at the base with \u201cBrothers\u201d engraved on it.\u00a0 This was but the burial service and a real funeralizing service was arranged for the last week in next August.<\/p>\n<p>Someone had sent me some lovely wax roses that had doubtless been a treasure for a long time in their home.\u00a0 These I took along to comfort Fannie.\u00a0\u00a0 She said she would keep them to put on the grave next August.\u00a0 When we got back to the house the old nurses must go and we took over the twins Romy and Remy (cousins to Otis and Odus of the Bradley household).\u00a0 Poor little fledglings.\u00a0 They had had no chance, yet they were living.\u00a0 I reminded Fanny that little Junior as they had called him would be their ministering spirit and she must now try to take care of the babies better.\u00a0 She had prepared a meager outfit for one so two had not enough of anything.\u00a0 The \u201chippins\u201d were mere rags tho Ruby the big sister reckoned they had as many as forty of them.\u00a0 Having some clothes on hand I had taken them with me and the mother was so pleased about that.<\/p>\n<p>As we were so far from home we stayed while Fanny and Ruby got dinner which we ate with Uncle Ira, Robert with his brother in law Frank and son Earl while Fanny and Ruby nussed the babies.\u00a0 The floor hadn\u2019t been scrubbed since the babies were born as it was feared they might take cold.\u00a0 I boldly declared to Fanny that was probably one reason why Junior became sick.\u00a0 The dusty floor on which he played all the time.\u00a0 Fanny seems a sweet mother but quite unpractical and utterly at loss as to training her children in commonsense ways.<\/p>\n<p>It has been the most open Winter in the experience of the oldest settlers.\u00a0 Never do they remember a winter without any snow and only a few days when the temperature reached freezing.\u00a0 But so much rain has fallen lately that once or twice the postman could not go from Gilley fearing a tide or such high water in the Fork that he could not ford it.<\/p>\n<p>However there had been some calls at the Cabin for medicine, books and papers.\u00a0 Our Tallstory Club soon petered out.\u00a0 The boys just didn\u2019t seem to enjoy the fun we had for them enough to come.<\/p>\n<p>One Sunday Mr S had sixteen of the young people at Bear Branch school house.\u00a0 The week following there were only two and later only one came.\u00a0 Eleven small children from three to twelve years old come fairly regularly to the Cabin Sunday morning.\u00a0 One evening Hi Hall and his brother in law Jim Smith came to listen to the Radio Program for two hours.\u00a0 They declared that they would come again soon.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely Yours<\/p>\n<p>Stapletons<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">**Transcription by Gretchen
