• Notes

  Died from an operation. When we were in North Carolina in 1968, in April, Aunt Carrie Lee was living in a new home, and was an interesting person - very guarded with her history of her people. What has been given had to be a fight ... and so I was corrected on many of my notes and dates, but she did give me some new facts which I carefully wrote down in my notebook. We were in her kitchen sitting on the long "Beacon type" bench with my husband and teenage son, Bob, across from us. Aunt Carrie Lee and Cuyva stood ready to aid us. I was a little astonished at all this kindness, and perhaps, a little uneasy at my manerisms - I didn't want to eat. I'd rather sit and "soak up" the tranquility of the home, the land and and the easy hospitality granted to their own, Ralph White, and their alien kinship (even of a Yankee descendent). The table was set with home grown and home made foods. I relished it very much, it is much the same as we eat at home when dad does the cooking. I cannot reproduce the same effect as our hillbilly daddy can. God Bless them as He has in the past. ---------- Reference: "Kinfolk, Ownbey Family Lines of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina", p 37, 44.
