Individual Note: Letter to Edna dated 12-30-1998
Dear Edna,
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me the other night. You will never know what it means to me to hear the stories about my father. Growing up in Missouri we did not get to know his side of the family and with his death also died the knowledge of his relatives. I am finding out more and more by talking with his cousins. I am finally getting to find out what he was like when he was young. I am very happy to hear about the family reunion. I will be there for sure. It will be so much fun to sit down and talk with everyone. I will finally get to know the other side of my family.
I am sending you copies of family group sheets that I need some help on getting filled out. I need the information to include in the family tree that I am trying to get ready before the reunion. I will list out the things I need.
1) Full names to include first middle and last
2) Birth dates to include city, county and state where they were born.
3) Death dates to include city, county, state and cemetery where they are buried at.
4) Marriage dates to include city, county, state and name of church where they were married at.
5) I also need the names of the spouses parents if possible.
6) Names of any children that died
7) Most of all don't forget anyone.
If you don't know the information just send me what you have so I can include it. The reason I need all the information is not so much for now but for those of our descendants who are looking for us 400 years from now. This will be a gift for future generations who won't have to wonder where we were from and what our lives were like.
I have also sent you the family group sheets on Eddie Warner, Pappy Tuck, Pappy Tucks father Jacob, Jacob's father Jonas and Jonas father Jacob for you to look at. If you have any information to add on your brothers and sisters please send it to me. Also if you have the addresses or phone numbers of your brothers and sisters I would love to get in contact with them also.
Once again I want to thank you for the chat and I am looking forward to seeing you at the reunion. Please mail the family information to me when you get time.
Sincerely,
Darrell Warner

Talked with Edna tonight about my father and what he was like when he was young. She talked about him marring Jenny which must have been Virginia. She said she never got to see any of the children they had. When I asked her about my father leaving kentucky and changing his name her answer was that he did it because he never divorced Virginia. We talked about an hour and she told me many stories about Bath County. She also said there was a picture of Pappy Tuck that a lady named Beula Carpenter had. I will have to try to find it and get a copy made.

Individual Note: I spoke with Dorthy on the telephone February 13, 1999 and found her to have many stories. The one that caught my attention was about the Warner Graveyard. She talked about the pine trees that grew in and around it. According to Dorthy, the trees caught fire and it was the heat of the flames that caused many of the stones to break. She said many of the stones were military stones and that the government said that they would be replaced. They were never replaced according to Dorthy. She went on to say that there was something strange about the Graveyard and that her father Eddie Warner would not go near it and did not want to be buried there. She said he would take the long way around so he did not have to pass close by it. She also mentioned about how the wind would howl through the pines and make the worst noise. She said she can see the graveyard from where she lives now.

Uncle Ollie Craycraft
by Helen Craycraft Goodpaster
Uncle "Oll" (as we knew him) died a year after his twin, Ott, died at age 83 in fall of 1967. Uncle Oll was the father of Beulah Carpenter, Robert (Bob) Craycraft and Raymond Craycraft. The Mother of Beulah and Robert was Cordia Ginter Craycraft, who died in 1913 when Robert was about 2 years old and Beulah 6 years of age. Uncle Oll remarried Ella Warner later, about 1915 or 1916 and Raymond was born about 1917 or 1918 to this union.
I don't know quite how to describe Uncle Oll. Like all the Craycraft men or his brothers, he was short, sandy hair, brown eyes, pleasant looking and mild-mannered. He must have been the one the others chose to run errands, because the others would rather work than take time off to go to town to buy a plow point, a plough or whatever else was needed and it seemed Uncle Oll was always willing to oblige, and he would try to catch up on the news or happenings; (who was running for this or that office and try to learn something of the character of the individuals who were running for Governor, Representative or President and whatever)
He would relay this information to his brothers and they trusted his judgment so well, they always voted for the persons he recommended.
By going to Owingsville two or three times a week Uncle Oll became acquainted with a lot of Bath County people and more about what was new. His other brothers made only one or two trips a year into town either to pay their debts or to pay their taxes.
After Uncle Oll was married to Aunt Ella, they lived with Grandma and Grandpap (John T. and Mariah) where he had lived since Beulah and Bob's mother died. This was at the homeplace, where about all the men had lived a short while with their young wives until they settled in homes of their own. Grandma and Grandpap were getting up in years, when Raymond was born and the following January was when Grandma died, and Grandpap who had been crippled up with what they called "rheumatism" then for several years (barely able to walk with a cane) died about a year and a half later. I don't believe there was a will of any kind left and everybody assumed Uncle Oll was due the homeplace since he had looked after Grandma and Grandpap in their late years, and he had tended the farm which was somewhat larger, than the farms the other brothers had, except for Uncle Charlie's place.
A few years after Grandma and Grandpap died, some men (who may have been trying to find oil on Uncle Oll's place) found a large amount of Marl or lime, and Uncle Oll allowed several people to come and get a large portion of this to put on their farms. A lot of farms were tested and did not have the mineral, or ingredient in their soil and it was really helpful to them, as soil lacking lime does not produce crops well, due to high acidity. I don't know whether Uncle Oll gave this Marl away or received a bit of money for it. Now-a days it cost a lot to have lime spread over a farm.
A little tomato factory was brought in and set up (about 1923) at Preston, and several people signed up to raise tomatoes to sell and have canned ones for sale and Uncle Oll signed up. He had a lot of nice tomatoes and I remember helping Beulah and Bob pick some of them. Several women around got jobs at the little factory (or tomato plant) and things did very well until the water around began to get so low, there wasn't enough for washing and scalding tomatoes. I don't remember whether the undertaking was tried the second summer or not. anyhow, it soon played out.
I believe we children got very little pay, only Uncle Oll allowed us to have "Old Henry" and his buggy to go to Preston where they were having a tent meeting at night. I remember we were singing "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" all time the next day as we picked tomatoes (It was a song we had picked up at the meeting). I reckon time passed faster and tomatoes more easy to pick if we sang( no matter if we sang off tune or not back then).
Uncle Oll always had chores to do on the farm for Beulah and Bob. Children didn't get allowances back then only for food and clothes. And they were allowed to go visit friends when the chores were done. Seems like playing marbles and baseball were things all the children liked at home or at school, but girls were not encouraged to participate, and mostly settled for the "Tag", "Ring Around the Rosy", "Handkerchief", "Farmer In The Dell" and such like.
I loved to play marbles with my brothers at home (when no girls were around), and I liked baseball. One time at school, some boys were playing with homemade string ball and wooden bat and they lacked one person for the team. I was watching them and was thrilled when some one picked me. I was playing and having the "time of my life" when our teacher came out and called me aside and said "Helen, girls are not supposed to play these games with boys. The games are too rough for girls". I was very disappointed, but I believe that was the last of my playing baseball.
Uncle Oll, although being firm with his children in having them help with many jobs to be done on a farm, was not abusive to his children. He was a mild-mannered person and liked by those who knew him well. He liked people and they in turn liked him. All the older Craycraft men treated their wives kindly. Their women in return respected their men and cheerfully cooked, washed clothes, ironed with flat irons, (heated on the wood cook stove) and helped with some outside chores such as milking and gardening. In the winter these women sewed clothing for their children, pieced quilts, and sometimes would ask other women in to help quilt the quilts. These days of women helping other women quilt was the beginning of the "Quilting Bee" I believe.
