Had it not been for Ira, I probably would have given up looking for ancestors long ago. I began corresponding with her in 1967.... Ira was rich in information. In one letter she mentioned having her notes in a large box--she mentioned about having no one except one young niece [in Atlanta] to leave her records with--she mentioned a cousin, Edith, in Macon [with] whom she exchanged information.... In 1969 I typed some information for her--Bible Record for John W. and N. G. Culpepper.... At one time we were so confused over some ancestor she wrote, "When I get to the great beyond I can't wait to grab all those Culpeppers and say let's get this mess figured out." After Mrs. Deam's death, her daughter, Mrs. W. H.(Gay Deam) Davison, wrote that her mother "left no written records that she could find." |

The Story of a Snake Bite!
One summer when Louise and I were visiting Aunt Lula and Sally Bet, Herbert was there, too. The mail for Uncle Bud's (Elam) place was delivered at the old home place, so Herbert and Louise decided to take the mail to them. They were running up the hill. And just as they were passing the barn, Lou stepped on a snake and was bitten on her instep. Herbert snatched off his belt, tied it around her leg, took her on his back amd came running back to the house. Everyone was excitedly trying to think what to do. Someone said if you would split a live chicken and hold it over the bite, it would draw the poison out. All the chickens seemed to have disappeared so Herbert ran to Uncle Bud's for one. Uncle B came with him with the chicken (but very reluctantly). After Low described the snake it was not poisonous . So the chicken was saved! And Uncle Bud was happy.2 |
