Peter, a blond six footer, was very gracious and gallant treating \u201cOma\u201d with much courtesy at all times.<\/p>\n<p>Then there [were] excursions every day after Peter returned from his business as chief engineer at the Opal <em>(sic)<\/em> Motor Mfg Co in the \u201cBlue Angel\u201d as they call the car he had reconstructed.\u00a0 To Wiesbaden, to Frankfort (sic), to Rothenberg and to Heidelberg on the Nekker [Neckar River].\u00a0 From here I went alone by train to Switzerland for two days, one day motorbussing around Zurich and the next day by bus with a Swiss party over the Clausen Pass to Lucerne and back, where I saw glaciers, perpetual snow, the edelweiss flower that grows at the edge of the snow banks and in fact everything you read about concerning that country except the Peace Conference and a few other things.<\/p>\n<p>Back again at Russelsheim with trips up the mountain where Peter and Natalie go skiing in the winter, and to a great ruin of a castle. \u00a0Another on the Rhine to see an age-old castle which had been restored and is now a museum most interesting (Konigstein).\u00a0 One week end (Saturday &amp; Sunday) we made an overnight trip driving to the Fulda where the conference of gliders was in progress.\u00a0 It was amazing to see the great ungainly birds rise from the ground by being started with several men pulling while others pushed, then staying up even hours by the force of the wind.\u00a0 One of the most successful had been made by a boy of eighteen years in three months.<\/p>\n<p>We went thru many country villages. In that part of Germany one sees no isolated houses. The wheat harvest was in progress cutting mostly by sickles tho one or two binders were to be seen.\u00a0 The grain is drawn to a place for threshing sometimes by horses, often by oxen or even cows.\u00a0 The threshers seemed quite the same as ours.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is voting day in Germany and as we went thru village after village we saw the people in their best clothes strolling about or going to church.\u00a0 We went to church for half an hour in the oldest church in that part of the land.\u00a0 A warden in a long red coat and red hat carrying a staff walked about to see that no one disturbed the service.\u00a0 Half of the large congregation were standing.\u00a0 We sat for awhile and listened to the ritualistic services.\u00a0 The place was so crowded with statuary, I was soon wearied with looking at it.\u00a0 It was different later when I spent an hour in Cologne Cathedral just worshiping; altho I do not think I felt God\u2019s presence any more in that magnificent creation of stone than I do right here in the green woods of old Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>The country certainly looked very peaceful and happy tho there was much talk of unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Rhine! The Rhine! The German Rhine!\u201d\u00a0 Everything I had ever read about it was there.\u00a0 The Lorelei, Bingen, the mouse castle [Burg Maus], the vineyards (rows and rows of vines on narrow terraces) up and up to the top of the mountains on either side of the valley.\u00a0 They are making some grape juice but the great majority of the people take their juice fermented.<\/p>\n<p>And now the last long ride down the Rhine to Coblens where I take the train to Cologne.\u00a0 From here it is a long day\u2019s ride to Berlin.\u00a0 A night and another day to Oslo in Norway thru Sweden.\u00a0 In Oslo four days were spent with my old classmate of the medical school, a friend who had been for twenty-seven years a missionary in China now retired and so happily settled in a new little place overlooking the city of Oslo and harbor.\u00a0 But it is becoming too long a story.\u00a0 Now you see me back at the Cabin.\u00a0 Mr S returned August 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and it was September 8<sup>th<\/sup> when at last I was back again.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Pettit had got several women interested in carding a spinning wool.\u00a0 One girl of Bear Branch had learned to weave on our loom in the Health House which has been renamed the Loom House.\u00a0 She made three blankets and then Bert who had even earned some wool wove for herself a blanket and has yet enough warp to weave another.<\/p>\n<p>The Hall Brothers made some interesting old things, a wooden canteen used in the civil war, trencher or bread tray, three-legged stools, round tops and others half round, water buckets called piggins or noggins with one handle, a milk bucket with a bail, a keeler or footbath without handles and even a delightful old cradle.\u00a0 She also got the children interested in bringing \u201cpretties\u201d all sorts of queer stones, petrified bamboo, arrowheads, queer shaped gourds (trumpet &amp; dipper) and even deep dishes or bowls.\u00a0 One woman claimed hers was seventy years old and used for forty years to keep coffee in.\u00a0 One of the quaintest conceits is a curious little gadget called a turkey-call used to lure the wild turkeys by hunters in the days when the birds could be found here.\u00a0 Miss Pettit arranged for sewing bees and as many as thirty women made pretty percale stand covers and twenty young girls made attractive sun-bonnet and aprons.\u00a0 I have one also in which I dress up now and then.<\/p>\n<p>We had our labor day picnic a few days after I got back and such a nice clean looking lot of neighbors joined in making it a jolly time.\u00a0 Mr S gave a little talk wearing his Russian blouse which had been sent by the friends I had visited in Paris.\u00a0 The table was spread with the Russian hand-woven and decorated table-cloth we have used every year.\u00a0 When the food was all spread out it looked very nice and appetizing especially the big plate of honey that had been freshly robbed from a beegum.\u00a0 A few balloons made the place look gaily decorated for awhile.\u00a0 At the end not more than six remained and they were given to the four-year-olds to take home.\u00a0 One I know actually reached the home down by Gilley PO and there was destroyed by the pet pig.\u00a0 Marlin was so exasperated he chased the pig back and forth till he was tired out in payment for the cruel deed.<\/p>\n<p>For once the roughnecks who were wont to come fortified with corn liquor stayed away and the school children had games with stunts for which some simple prizes were given to winners.<\/p>\n<p>The Cornett family had a funeralizing at Bear Branch school house one Saturday and Sunday in memory of the grandparents who passed on at least seven years ago.\u00a0 The Holiness group who have recently been having regular services there another Sunday got up a basket dinner so they could continue their meeting later into the afternoon.\u00a0 Miss Pettit and Mr S joined in with them which went for friendship and goodwill.<\/p>\n<p>Then the Lewises also must have a preaching for old Uncle Will and Aunt Eliza members of the old regular Baptist so three preachers of that sect were invited for the last Saturday and Sunday of the month.\u00a0 The two sons and daughters made every effort to make it a good time.\u00a0 Jarrett and his sons along with some neighbor helpers worked on the road aided by some money from the county so that cars of the kinfolk might come up near the old Lewis cemetery more safely.\u00a0 \u201cHen\u201d &amp; his sons cleared the cemetery of grass and weeds.\u00a0 Then drawing some logs and lumber from the old place near-by where the youngest son\u2019s family (Dave who shot himself three years ago) arranged seats in a convenient hollow under a spreading beech tree.\u00a0 Mary, Sudie, Martha, Susie and Nancy made their homes neat with new papering from old magazines and catalogues.\u00a0 They also scoured and scrubbed.\u00a0 Mary borrowed the two kettles from the Cabin so she could prepare enough food for all kinfolk who might come to her home. \u00a0Altho her family of three sons and one daughter are our worst law breakers they were all present at the preaching to the last little grandchild all clean and as neat as one could wish.\u00a0 First an obituary was read about the old people.\u00a0 Then mention was made of a son and grandson who had come to their death because of their sins and scant hope of the life hereafter was given.\u00a0 The babies who were then remembered had not died in sin, so were saved.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Gilley the oldest preacher urged repentance and gave everyone a charge to depart from the error of his ways.\u00a0 There were several \u201chandshakings\u201d during the course of the preaching some thus signifying a desire to be prayed for.\u00a0 After two hours of this service we went to the cemetery and gathered around the graves of Uncle Will and Aunt Eliza.<\/p>\n<p>All the children of God were urged to kneel which they did for twenty minutes while God was importuned for his blessing.\u00a0 At one o\u2019clock the preacher reckoned they had had enough tho it would have pleasured him to go on until sundown.\u00a0 Then came the hour in the burying ground itself.\u00a0 Had you been there, you would have seen nearly all the people about whom I have written in my former letters.\u00a0 A new old Regular Baptist church was organized at Coyle Branch and Mr Gilley promises to come and preach the last Saturday and Sunday of each month.<\/p>\n<p>All the songs were lined and sung by such quaint old quavering tunes that we cannot follow.\u00a0 I was so hoping that Hen or his sister Susie would ask Mr S to sing \u201cI know that my Redeemer liveth\u201d or \u201cHe leadeth me\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 But perhaps the two styles of singing would not mix.\u00a0 However he now has a chance to open the Holiness meetings each time at the Bear Branch school house nearly every Sunday.\u00a0 If this group is away at another appointment then he is alone for the few who attend that week.<\/p>\n<p>One of the woman members was very sick recently and a group crowded into her room to pray her well.\u00a0 One reported that while they were calling aloud, one even rolling on the floor, she collapsed while sitting up in bed as she was.\u00a0\u00a0 Then her husband hurried over to Pine Mt for <a href=\"_wp_link_placeholder\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">Dr [Kenneth] Gould<\/a>.\u00a0 He came and urged them to carry her over to the infirmary at once.\u00a0 A brother came to the Cabin for a stretcher and the four men carried her the six miles tho the doctor feared they had waited too long.\u00a0 She was unconscious for two days.\u00a0 Then transfusion of blood from her husband\u2019s arm to her jugular vein restored her to consciousness.\u00a0 Tho looking like death itself she will probably recover.\u00a0 I saw her for a few minutes and tho she could not so much as turn her head she hoped that her baby (nine months) was having plenty of fresh milk.\u00a0 Her sister is caring for the five children and her own three.\u00a0 Thus we help each other on Line Fork.\u00a0 We have enough to eat but the great cry is for clothes to keep the children in school.\u00a0 The Red Cross is distributing cloth now at our County-seat so I am urging all callers to go there and ask for it.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours,<\/p>\n<p>Stapletons<\/p>\n<p>**Transcription by Gretchen Rasch<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>BACK TO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=8315\">GUIDE TO DR.
