"POUNDING MILL CORRESPONDENT VISITING IN WEST. Gentry, Mo., July 12.
I promised to write a few letters from different points for your paper,
but until today have been so busy visiting, talking and sight-seeing that
I have not had or taken time. I have been fortunate enough to see each copy of your
paper since I left home on June 6th., but have always been disappointed when
I saw no items from my home town, Pounding Mill.
I thought that one of the several that I asked would write.
My uncle, Peter Gose Claypool, Grant City, R. F. D., who formerly lived in
Burke's Garden and moved here in the ??'s takes both papers, and sent some to me here
yesterday. I find that he knows more about Tazewell people than I do myself,
and looks forward to Mondays and Tuesdays when the papers arrive.
Though badly afflicted with asthma and eczema on his feet and legs,
he has a wonderful memory and is well posted on current events,
is a democrat from the crown of his head to the tips of his toes,
can tell most everything that ever happened, and sends greetings to his friends.
He, as well as all the Virginians arc doing well here, own nice farms, stock, etc.
The farmers here are having too much rain, much corn was either washed away
or ruined by the heavy rains; another big rain last night, with lightning which seems
to touch the ground right at one sometimes. Some wheat is cut, others too wet.
The soil here is almost black and very deep, no fertilizer is needed.
Some oats are down and will have to be cut with mowing machines.
One man and team can tend 60 acres of corn. Very few farmers have hired help,
and then only one or two men. Everybody has a telephone, single buggy, surrey,
and a number have automobiles also. They drive when the mud is too deep for the car.
The folks can generally drive out any time, as farmers keep many horses. Most of
the women do their own work, the men and boys manipulating the washing machine on wet days.
The young ladies play the piano, teach music, do all sorts of fancy work, tat,
or crochet "to beat the band," know the new way to use the letting shuttle,
which is so simple and easy that "a wayfaring man, tho' a fool' need not err therein."
1 have dozens of new patterns which I expect to bring back to Virginia soon after Sept. 11,
as my ticket expires on that date at Anderson Indiana, of which place and the
camp meeting 1 hope to write you next week, also of my week's visit to Kansas City,
to cousin George Steele and various daughters at Rosedale, Kan., a suburb just across
the line (can tell the minute you cross the line into Missouri, by the saloon signs.)
I shall write also of visit to Kd. Steide, near Argentine, Kansas.
The Brown girls, Alice and Manila, (who married Matueys) who used to go to school
to me in Baptist Valley, and others are doing well. Now back to my subject this
place at Grant City. I have, as I said before, met or visited the following
Virginians: My first stop was with my cousin, Mrs. S. W. Lowry, in Grant City.
She is the youngest daughter (Georgia) of P. G. Claypool. Her husband owns a large
ladies and gents furnishing department store, and an elegant modern home in the
city, considerable land near by, a horse and buggy ready at any time to drive.
After this visit, I came to my uncle's, where his son, good wife and three
pretty children look after things. Will say right, here that June,
their l!-year old daughter, is the prettiest child I ever saw,
except my own when she was small. You know the saying "Every crow thinks its
feathers the blackest." Our next visit of several days, including Sunday,
was with my cousin, Mrs. Freeland Porter, about three miles away.
They, as well as the others, had so many good things to eat that I was fearful
of taking gout. Sunday before last, all of us feasted at Mrs. Henry Kerfoot's,
another cousin, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Hash, of this place.
I am now visiting Mrs. George Etter, who has charge of the country home,
and on yesterday a11 took dinner here, including the family,
and as sister O'Keeffe says, "I'm feeling fine" after so many good things.
The following are some of the folks present: Mrs. C. It. Hash,
nee Miss Claypool, of Burke's Garden; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Porter,
and three sons and daughters-in-law; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kerfoot and son;
Mr. Fitzhugh Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Freeland Potter, and daughters,
Misses Garnet, Audery and Esther, and son, Cicero;
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Hash, and others. A number of us spent
Thursday and Thursday night with the latter; Friday and Friday night
with Mr. ami Mrs. Joseph Porter; Saturday night with Mr. and Mrs. Witt
Porter. Have several invitations ahead, vis., at Mr. and Mrs. Jones',
formerly of Clear Fork. Mrs. Jones formerly was a Miss Steele
and daughter of Frank Steele near Clear Fork. Tonight I am invited back
to Grant City to attend the Eastern Star meeting. After two days I
expect to return here and take in the Chautauqua program of six days.
Then after another week's visit with my cousin,
who was formerly Miss Sallie Doughten, of Virginia,
I expect to resume my travels west, my first stop being in Pickerell,
Neb., with my uncle John T. Claypool. Will receive mail at either place. 1 send greetings to nil my friends and relatives and will say that I have enjoyed every inch of my visit. "
1920 Clinch Valley, Virginia "Mrs. W. B. Steele went to Cedar Bluff immediately
after hearing of the arrival of her uncle, Peter Gose Claypool, of Grant City Mo.,
who arrived at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jane A. McGuiro. He is 72 years old
and made the trip alone. He was born and reared at the old home place in Burke's Garden
and left there over 30 years ago, this being his first visit. He prospered in the west
and last winter and spring mnde a visit to his brothers and sisters in Nebraska, Utah and
Idaho."
