My earliest memory was when my brother, Raymond, was born. First off: He was the only one of all of my siblings that was NOT born on the old home place!
Mom and I had gone to see Aunt Lettie (mom's sister) who lived by Gaynor, about five miles from us. I imagine that mom drove Old Rock hitched to the buggy or maybe the Model T--I never asked or, if I did, don't remember. While there it came up a snow blizzard and drifted the roads full. Raymond "decided to get born and see what was going on". I remember having to sleep in another room and next morning someone holding me up to see my mom in this HUGE bed and a tiny little someone that she let me see. I probably thought he was taking MY place.
Later on I heard that Howard, Chauncey, and Janice went to the Rickabaughs and dad rode a horse to Aunt Lettie and Uncle Elmer Shelton’s through the storm.
