From the Ridges and the Hollows

.....I would like to include on this page stories from the ridges and hollows. If I already have an existing page someplace else on this site that would fit in here, I would like to also include it here. The Lizzy Cox page below is one of those pages. The Tuckahoe page would also fit here. I would like to remember people here as well. This may well be a difficult task.

.....Prior to the fall of 1947, my mother, my sisters and I spent a lot time in the summers at my grandmothers on the farm along the upper reaches of Thirteenmile Creek in Mason County. Included on the page below are some of the things that I remember. I wrote this page more than 10 years ago, so it may need some updating.
