is such a nice day let us make some visits on Coyle Branch which empties into Line Fork down by Gilley post office.\u00a0 Seldom do horses or mules go up the stream bed but a year ago, when I was expected to attend little Martha at the Eagle\u2019s Nest, John, her husband, did considerable work to make the Branch more passable for Swallow.\u00a0 Even so, I always think how rough it is whenever I visit there.\u00a0 At the head the ravine narrows and the water is only a trickle as it runs over a bench of rock with a ten foot drop.\u00a0 John is minded to make a water mill right there and has already made a rock wall to retain the water and force it down a trough to the tiny mill house below.\u00a0 Since I was there last May he has built quite a substantial log barn to take the place of the rock house where formerly the cow and mule were stabled.\u00a0 Another rocky half acre has been grubbed over, which is to be planted to fruit trees.\u00a0 From where I leave Swallow it is some climb to the Eagle\u2019s Nest.\u00a0 We can see the children on the porch and Martha herself hurrying to the house from the garden patch that slopes steeply down to the barn.\u00a0 She has been busy planting the potato onions for next Spring.\u00a0 They were beginning to sprout so to save them at all they had to be planted now.\u00a0 Ernest her twelve year old brother had ploughed the place for her while John was over the mountain raising coal for a neighbor in exchange for a hog.\u00a0 Martha says they have been expecting me every pretty day at least hoping I would come. Gerty sidles up to me with a sweet smile while Bet is as shy as ever but little Melvin (suck-a-thumb) isn\u2019t a bit shy.\u00a0 Baby Addie, dimples, Harrison and Ruth Ann Martha\u2019s younger brother and sister are here chasing each other around the steep house yard and down into the onion patch to run the cow out.\u00a0 They live with their father and stepmother, Zion of the golden hair at the Hawk\u2019s Nest \u2013 a quarter of a mile down the branch but almost as high up on the hillside.\u00a0 Martha shows how the upper room has been finished so she could paper it and the big tail-less donkey was pasted over the paper so the children can play the game of pinning on the tail blindfolded.\u00a0 John has not succeeded in getting a window in a sash but he removed the wind-shield from an abandoned car and put that in between the boards so one room has a little light when the wind blows so hard the door must be shut.\u00a0 John has raised coal for another neighbor and received two bee-gums as pay.\u00a0 He will tie a cloth over the end of the hive (a hollowed out log from the black-gum tree \u2013 hence called bee-gum) and then carry it up to the Eagle\u2019s Nest on his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Floyd and Zion made some improvements also.\u00a0 New palings were pushed out a yard or so leaving the path too narrow and close to the fence to ride along it so I have to go along the Branch.\u00a0 They have a coal bank near the Crow\u2019s Nest where Mary and blue-eyed Henry began their house-keeping with nothing much besides \u201ca cup, a spoon and a trencher\u201d.\u00a0 They had a bench on which two could sit but not one chair. After they left, the cabin was pulled down leaving the chimney standing like a monument to mark the place. Floyd was recently baptised into the Old Baptist (Regular) church which meets once a month in Coyle Branch school house. Zion would not join because she could not leave off cussing long enough.<\/p>\n<p>Descending thru the forest we come to the bottom of the Branch and up there hanging in the air almost is Hill-side House that Charlie has built for Belle.\u00a0 It had no chimney last year.\u00a0 Belle got frightened it would blow over when the wind was strong, so she went home to her mother\u2019s on Stony Fork.\u00a0 This Summer Charlie got to work and built a chimney and managed to get a grate for one side.\u00a0 Belle raised a gang of chickens to help pay for a second hand kitchen stove on the installment plan.\u00a0 While she was away the other day Floyd\u2019s cow got in the yard and pulling the hay from the hens\u2019 \u201cnestes\u201d under the porch ruined the eggs, laid by these hens, which she had hoped to bring to the Cabin on Wednesday.\u00a0 \u201cHens are not laying at present tho\u2019 it seems like they will soon, as their combs are all getting red.\u201d\u00a0 Charlie is cutting out some rocks to make the Branch go in another channel so he can build a barn where it is now.<\/p>\n<p>Just a hundred yards or so away is Johnny, Charlie\u2019s brother and his wife Polly with their children in Branch House.\u00a0\u00a0 Johnny has recently become a member of the Old Regulars also and is reading his bible assiduously.\u00a0 He said he read it nine hours at a stretch the other day, but did not try to listen five minutes when Mr S was reading a portion at his father\u2019s home where we had accepted an invitation to eat spare ribs.<\/p>\n<p>Polly has raised a flock of ducks, thirty in all, to pick the feathers for a feather bed for Edny\u2019s and Rita\u2019s bed.\u00a0 The children were needing shoes badly.\u00a0 Edny and Elmer could not go to school so Polly came to the Cabin to ask us to order the shoes for her and she would pay for them with eggs when the hens begin to lay.\u00a0 I said I was expecting to take the eggs from Belle but is she could dress a duck every Wednesday for me for the next six weeks I\u2019d order the three pair of shoes she needed.\u00a0 The shoes came the day before Thanksgiving and we had the first duck at our Thanksgiving dinner.\u00a0 Polly tho\u2019t I would not want to take it as it had a little crook in the back bone.\u00a0 She tho\u2019t it was so nice she would like to dress one for her family if she had time.<\/p>\n<p>That Wednesday the Coyle Branch school had invited the Trace Branch school, four miles distant, to a spelling match and a picnic dinner.\u00a0 The teachers provided cocoa and cookies.\u00a0 Some of the children brought milk to which water was added to make the kettle full.\u00a0 This was cooking on the coal stove while the spelling was going on.\u00a0 After Coyle Branch had out spelled the visiting school all filed out to the playground where the food was arranged on the school room tables moved out into the yard.\u00a0 The mothers set to work serving biscuits and chicken or dumplings to every child and then they returned for sweet taters, cake, pie or whatever was left.\u00a0 The big kettle and tin cups went down from the Cabin and the children at least had a warm drink. As a chicken bone or broken biscuit was dropped, a hungry dog picked up what a big fat hog did not get. Not many scraps were left in the kettle or in the dishes. Hungry little boys and girls spooned out the small crumbs of dumplings and gravy from the bottom of the kettles so Sara Jane would not have to carry anything home.<\/p>\n<p>We made a Thanksgiving service at the Bear Branch school and invited the parents.\u00a0 But it was such a fine day that two-thirds of them had to finish getting in their corn.\u00a0 We went in time to see all the children and as they assembled in twos and threes I played bouncing ball with them until the little ones came, then I had two circles leaving the Middlings to play by themselves while I played with the four and six year olds at toss and catch using a big light ball for that purpose.\u00a0 They tho\u2019t it was great fun to play with \u201cGrannie Stapleton.\u201d\u00a0 Several of the children had learned poems and psalms. All sang a number of songs Mr Stapleton had taught them.\u00a0 I had a beautiful story about Melinda and Michel Mouse for the children who listened on tip toe.\u00a0 Michel kept saying Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow while Melinda insisted Thanksgiving Day is to-day.\u00a0 Finally after the matter had been referred to Aunt Betsey Mouse, who was much respected by all the Mouse family, they compromised by agreeing that Thanksgiving day was every day but one day in the year it was spelled with a capital T.<\/p>\n<p>Just for a treat we carried a big basket of walnut-drop cookies that Grannie S had made.\u00a0 These were passed round along with some rosy apples to the forty-five men, women and children who were present.\u00a0 Martha Ann invited us to dinner but we tho\u2019t we would better come home to our duck and cranberries.\u00a0 Bert had Mrs Wright and six children at her house.\u00a0 Neely who made out to call there said they had a good dinner \u2013 better than she could get up for anyone in these times.\u00a0 During the afternoon Bert cut out and sewed a simple dress for Mrs Wright.\u00a0 She is the Holiness preacher\u2019s wife and seems very sweet and gentle with her children and neighbors.\u00a0 They have recently moved to a new log house up on Bear Branch above Frank Hall\u2019s.\u00a0 They chose a rainy day to move their \u201chouse plunder\u201d so she had a time washing the mud out that had splashed up on the low sled which had been used to drag the things thru the rocky Jake\u2019s Creek bed then over the\u00a0 mountain, thru the forest to Bear Branch and then up another small creek to \u201chit\u2019s\u201d head.<\/p>\n<p>A mile up Jake\u2019s creek live our most persistent moonshine family and the young married daughter seems to be the most determined vendor of their product. She often goes at night. Two weeks ago she went to catch the nag without a bridle or saddle. She succeeded in mounting the beast, her tipsy brother helping her on while advising her not to do it. She had gone only a few rods when the animal bolted throwing her violently against the rocks thus breaking one leg below the knee and injuring the other ankle. There was much trouble in store for them all. However after giving first aid, they got the brothers and kin-folks together and carried her to Pine Mountain <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=4573\">Infirmary<\/a> where <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=77725\">Dr [Kenneth] Gould<\/a> set the leg and she was cared for while there by the nurse <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=49700\">Mrs Baird<\/a> for ten days.\u00a0 She is now at home again. I visit her occasionally and got Bert to go and give them a day\u2019s work of cleaning and washing as Mary the Grandmother has the four little children to look after. The six month old baby had to be put on a bottle at once but seems to be thriving all right.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Janey why she dared to do a thing like that. \u201cOh, I was in a hurry and didn\u2019t think,\u201d was her reply. She will have a long time to think now.\u00a0 I took her some magazines and I read to her and Mary the very appropriate story of \u201cGranny\u2019s Blessing.\u201d\u00a0 It runs thus, \u201cDear Lord, Bless this food. I thank Thee for it. Help me to get moonshine outn our mountain. Amen.\u201d\u00a0 Janey\u2019s cheeks glowed red but Mary only reckoned it turned out very well. In that story the moonshiner came to death\u2019s door with pneumonia and Granny Jenkins nursed him to life and repentance. He ceased his nefarious traffic.\u00a0 So we are praying that this accident may help to get moonshine outn our mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Some gang of our young men \u2013 ruffians \u2013 passed up the Fork a few evenings ago, yelling and shooting off their guns. Upon coming opposite to Denver\u2019s house they began shooting the chickens from their roosts on the apple tree limbs. Two of the boys had been paid fifty cents each by their aunt to buy a hat. But before they spent the money they put it up as a target and bent the coins so bad as they shot at them they had to pound them out straight before they could spend them. Later Everett came to the Cabin wearing his new cap. He desired a book to read.<\/p>\n<p>One day Finley began to quarrel with Neely and she said \u201cI don\u2019t aim to quarrel with you\u201d and with that she rushed out, picked up the axe and started up the mountain to find some fatty pine.\u00a0 While she was cutting a piece out of a rotted trunk Finley came up with a switch and beat her around the legs and told her to get along home and look after her baby. While saying this he threw the pine every which way. She showed me the black and blue welts on her legs while telling me of the affair but she added triumphantly \u201cI didn\u2019t quarrel and I wasn\u2019t mad. I reckon it was the joy of the Lord in my heart.\u201d\u00a0 She brought a thank offering of the pine all split up into neat little splinters to send to Grace Nettleton Home, Harrogate, Tenn where Miss Jackson has been caring for her two little girls since these three years.\u00a0 She continues to be so grateful for her chance to visit them and recalls the words she heard spoken at the State WCTU at Middlesborough.<\/p>\n<p>One of our young men who came home from the Federal prison at Atlanta a few months ago said to his mother, \u201cI\u2019m thirty-one. Don\u2019t you think I\u2019m old enough to get married?\u201d\u00a0 She replied, \u201cNo I don\u2019t and if you wait till you are forty, you won\u2019t want to.\u201d\u00a0 However Mary Jane was willing and that very day Henry went for a license and they were married at the local preacher\u2019s on Line Fork where she met him on his way back from the county seat. As they were returning home the mule took fright and bounced them both off on to the ground just opposite her mother\u2019s home.\u00a0 Mary Jane was bruised so badly she remained at her mother\u2019s while Henry came on home. I was calling there the next day when Lawrence the brother of Henry brought Mary Jane to the house. Martha received her as casually as tho she had lived there for \u201callers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henry was keeping out of sight as his boon companions had promised to ride him on a rail and duck him as he had done to one of them when he was married a few years ago. Henry said he did not mind the rail but he would not have the ducking. It seems that this ceremony must be done the first day or two after the wedding or not at all. Something in the nature of a chivari.* Mary Jane becomes, at once, a daughter of the house and assumes the daily duties as a daughter would. In this house, there are already a plenty of feather beds and eleven geese to provide more feathers as needed.<\/p>\n<p>And now we are at the beginning of Christmas.\u00a0 The children are already looking forward to the Christmas tree and asking if Santa Claus will bring them a doll, a watch or some little pretties.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours<\/p>\n<p>Ida + Robert Stapleton<\/p>\n<p>Please share this with Miss Kingman + Miss Conn if you think she would care for it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">*The term &#8220;<em>chivaree<\/em>&#8221; [also<em> chivarii<\/em>,<em> charivari<\/em>] \u00a0is from the old French [<em>charivari<\/em>] \u00a0custom of celebrating a marriage by banging and clanging pots and pans together to produce a discordant noise. It is not surprising to find it used in the Appalachians as many of the families were descendants of French Huguenots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">** Transcription by Gretchen Rasch.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Return to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=3473\">Dr. IDA STAPLETON &amp; Rev.
