Crawford From the Editor We have now lived into the month of April, and all of the weather patterns of very late spring are alreadyhere. Strange doings. Wonder if the summer will be unbearable. Is it so much warmer now, or were we more adaptable as children and young people? ***** Too warm or too cool, warm your heart this time with two special narratives in these pages. Mrs. ^ Rachel Mazelle Green Hensley's memoirs will have you laughing at the antics of small children, and Mrs. Jane Shook Chastain's interviews give us a centenarian's view of Jackson County. We're not sure that it can get any better. Peruse this list of contributors: Dellinger descendants of the Penland family, Sanji Talley Watson, Jean Hooper Scott, Eilene Nowak, Dorris Dills Beck, Karen Crawford Nicholson, Larry C. Farley, Jason Gregory, Betty Queen Monteith, Linda Hughes Collins, and Don Casada. Your editor as usual provided the vital statistics in the form of death certificates. Our February program (traditional mountain music) attracted one hundred people to the building. Not every program will be that large...all will be interesting or informative or entertaining or sometimes all three. Make plans to be with us some second Thursday. . y Journey?

We have edited only for clarity.] [Introduction by Jean Hooper Scott] Rachel Mazelle Green, born on November 17, 1898, was one of eight children born in Haywood County to Joseph1 McKinley Green and Mary. Elizabeth Smith. There were six 'boys and two girls. Her paternal grandparents were George Washington" Green and Polly Fincher. Her maternal grandparents were John Lewis Smith and Harriet A. Evans. On April 1, 1916, Rachel Mazelle Green married Cary Holland Hensley, son of George Isaac Hensley and Cora Belle Cunningham. This marriage produced four boys and three girls. The boys were Winfred, Donald, Gordon and Ben;, The girls were Birdell, Mazelle and Gypsy. Winfred, Donald and Birdell all served in World War H at the same time. Winfred was killed in action. Birdell, Mazelle and Ben did not have children. Winfred had one son, Vinson. Donald and his wife, Juanita, had six children. Gordon and his wife, Evelyn, had seven children, and Gypsy and her husband, Ferry Hooper, had four daughters. They also raised a son, Randall David, but never officially adopted him. His birth mother was a McFalls. Rachel and Cary lived in Haywood*, Jackson and Macon counties. Cary was a rock mason, and she was a homemaker. -Rachel died on November 21,1971, and is buried at Ridgecrest Cemetery in Macon County. Cary died on April 26,1980, and is also buried at Ridgecrest. Chapter 1 When I first began to remember things, I was only five years old At that time, we lived on a two-hundred acre farm in Iron Duff township in Haywood County. My Daddy owned this farm: Uwas in the McElroy Cove at the foot of Utah Mountain. It was a fine place to live - lots of it was level land and so rocky one could hardly cover corn, but it was rich land One year my daddy and the boys made five hundred bushels of corn and five hundred of wheat. They had two big tobacco barns .and raised tobacco too. I had two brothers who were almost grown and one sister and two smaller brothers. I was the baby one. I would follow my Dad and my brother Bob all the tune when weather would permit I was so small I had to slip off from my mother and sister. -J would follow, them to-the tobacco fields where I would watch them hunt the big worms on the tobacco. My brother Bob would put them in his pocket and feed them to my mother's ducks. I was so afraid the ducks would die that I told on him, but Mother said that it was all right. We had lots of chickens, ducks, and turkeys: I would go out in the morning and gather the duck eggs, but we would not eat them. We got lots of eggs and they were only five cents per dozen at Mr. Tom Parks store. I remember one time my mother sent me and my brother to call the ones to dinner from work. They had these two big barns full of tobacco, curing it for the market: It had flues on both sides to build fires in. My daddy told me and my two brothers to stay while he went to eat, and my brother Bob put me and the older brother In that hot barn and closed the door on us. 55 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2012 Fortunately we found a hole in the door or we would have died before my dad returned I don't remember what he did to punish Bob, however. When the tobacco was cured and ^y handed-off and packed in big bales, it was ready to take to market The nearest market was Asheville. They would load all of the tobacco in two covered wagons and all the neighbors around would have theirs ready too, and there would be 20 or 25 wagons In a crowd, and it took four days to make the trip over there and back. The mud roads were so bad some places tt was up to the hubs on the wheels. Tltey would camp out, and my daddy sure was a bad cook. After the tobacco was sold, my dad would bring back a barrel of brown sugar and a hundred pounds of salt and a hundred pounds of green coffee. I remember the first light bread I ever saw. It was a big long cake; they brought it from Asheville and one of my brothers called it "shot gun wadding." We all had to taste it, but we did not like it We gave it to the ducks and U choked them. They ran to the branch for water. They would also get lots of cloth. My mother was a good seamstress. She would make our winter clothes and they were warm. She would make sheets, pillow cases and quilt linings. She made the boys' and Dad's shirts, pants and underwear. I don't know where she got her sewing machine, but she and the neighbors would keepJhat old machine going. My dad would always keep enough money to pay his taxes, I can remember when my dad and mother were baptized I did not know what it meant and I was scared to death. Mrs. Messer held me to keep me from going into the river too. She was one of our neighbors. Mrs. Messer lived about a mile and a half from us, maybe even further. Her family raised watermelons and gave me some. We had lots of friends then, but they were not close. Everybody had plenty of elbow room. We saw them all on Sunday at church. Mr. Liner was the preacher and he would \_y preach so long I would go to sleep. Everyone went in wagons; everyone was glad to see everyone else. My mother would fix most of our Sunday dinner on Saturday so they could go to church and not have to cook much, only make coffee and biscuits. They would visit if no one came home with them, but the preacher did most of the time. He rode a horse. I remember one time someone on the other side of the mountain (Utah) let fire get out and it was coming over before my daddy saw it Well, all the neighbors for miles around gathered in to fight the fire, and their wives also came along to help mother cook for the men. My second oldest brother was so scared he dragged me way up under the house. When my mother missed me, she sent someone to see if I was trying to get to my daddy. She was so afraid I would get in that fire. They hunted and hollered for me and him all evening. About dark, he poked his head out and asked Mother if the fire was out He would not answer when they called or let me answer. I looked like a mud cake I was so dirty. A few days later Bob and me and our big dog were up on the hill when the dog treed in a log pile. He went in to drag it out Bob said it was a rabbit, but it was a polecat It sprayed all three of us, and the dog ran to the house. Bob could not see. I had to lead him. Mother saw us coming and it scared her. She was sure we were snake bitten, because we did have rattlesnakes there. Then she smelled the dog. She stopped us at the branch, then she got some clean clothes for us and a cake of homemade soap and had us strip our things off and get in that big branch. She scrubbed us from top to toes, dried us off and put clean clothes on us. Bob brought fire from the house and burned our other things. Wi did not have any matches, I don't suppose. I never saw any back then. '\y 56 Journeys Through Jackspn Spring 2012 People made log rollings. Big piles of logs were set on fire and fine saw logs were all burned up. My daddy had a big log rolling. He made a big horse pasture and cow pasture. The sheep had a little pasture. We had a mean old-ram, and one Sunday while my parents were visiting, we caught that ram and tied the big shepherd dog on its back. Then we turned it loose! Well, it started running and the dog slipped under its belly. We were,scared then that the dog would be killed, and we could not catch the ram. We knew we were in trouble if Pa and Ma came, but the ram gave out and lay down. Then the boys ran out and got the dog untied Not one of us ever told one thing. We children would not ever tell on one another. I was too little to do very much, but I was always there with the rest i / never got to help gather apples; they were afraid I would get snake bitten. We had a big orchard and lots of apples all winter. They were Winter Johns and Limber Twigs, also Early Harvest and Red Junes for summer. My daddy would bury the winter apples in holes like.he did our potatoes and they never rotted They sure were good, We had chestnuts, walnuts, popcorn,,apples and molasses candy all winter. We sure were a happy crowd After supper, we would gather around and sing. My daddy would read a chapter from the family Bible and have prayers and then to bed I had a trundle bed It rolled under a big one at night It was rolled out for me to sleep on. When my youngest brother was two years old, he took what the doctor said was rheumatism. He never walked again until I got old enough to walk, then I taught him to walk again. He was five years old then. I remember one Sunday afternoon my father and mother went to visit some sick friends. -My brother Bob turned his coat up over.his head and ran one of the cows until she died that night,.but we jure never told on him. t Welt, about then my dad thought we-had lived long enough on that place, so he and Mr. Pink Robinson,went to Murphy to look for more land They found a big farm on Hanging Dog Creek. It had a nice house, two stories high, so he bought it It also had a small house for Mr. and Mrs. Robinson to live in, so they could help do the farming. When they came back, they had a lot of selling to do. Chapter 2 We prepared to get ready to move and we sure did hate to leave our little friends so bad and make new ones. We moved in covered wagons over mud roads. There were six wagons, and all of us children wanted to go with the wagons, but my mother and Grandmother Smith, my sister and youngest brother, and Mrs. Fannie Robinson and I all had to go on.the train. This was the first train I ever saw. The wagons drove from Iron Duff over Cowee Mountain and through Franklin. They camped out at night and it was cold, but one night it was snowing so hard they tried to get a place to spend the night but could not At last a poor old Negro man and his wife took th§m in and kept a big fire all night for them in a little log house. Well, we were haying trouble on the train too. ' Wlten we got to Bryson City, the road had, so much ice and snow on it the train could not go any further. We had tq spend the night there and about 10:00 the next day, we started again over the Nantahala Mountains They put sand onjhe tracks so the train coutd-get across. My brother said he was going to walk, that he could go faster than the train. I remember when we went to Clyde to get on the train there was one little Negro man. He cleaned up there. He was the first colored person J had ever seen 57 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2012 and I sure was amazed at him. I wanted to know why he never washed all that black stuff off and I asked him if he never washed He laughed at me. When we got to Murphy, my dad and v_> one of my brothers were waiting for us with a wagon and we all got in with the baggage. We had a ten or fifteen minute ride and we were at home. What a happy crowd to all be together after one week of traveling, but it was dark then and we could not look around We were all tired out Next morning our eyes sure did open wide. We looked the house over first, then the outside. In a short time some neighbors came in to see if we needed any help, and we had discovered the overhead ceiling was shot full of holes. My dad asked one of the men if he knew what that had been done for. He looked away and said, "I hate to tell you this, but you will soon know anyway. This house is haunted Nobody can live here. This is old Indian fighting ground My daddy said, "Well, I never did those Indians any harm and they can't scare me " Well, that night we were all sitting in the living room by a good fire and the noise upstairs started We sure were a scared bunch of kids. My daddy said that wasn't a thing but wharf rats from the creek, but we would not go up there to steep. Mother made beds on the floor for us to sleep in, and the next morning Dad said he was going to town and get some rat poison. Well, he got some and that night when the ghosts started, we were scared and sure did sit still Next morning he went up to see if it was eaten and it was. The next night we never heard a sound Pa had won again, but in a few days my mother said, "We are going to have to move from here." We children did not want to move. We loved that house, but OH, that smell We could not eat She said we would starve. Well, they all set in and did a lot of house cleaning and In some days it was all gone We never heard another ghost there Then the winter work began, getting ready for the crops in the spring. When weather would permit, it all would work. In the spring they planted the crop and it got about as high as \y a man's waist and stopped Pa said, "Well, what is the matter"? So he dug deep in the ground and found slate just under the topsoil He sure was blue men. There was a big fish pond all grown up around tt and he and the boys started to clean it up and make a big ditch for it to run into the creek. Well, they got it done, and then my dad got sick and the Doctor said he had malaria fever. Then I took it and my oldest brother, Furman, and two more of the boys look typhoid fever. My oldest brother died and me and Pa like to died The other two boys and my sister got well, but I could not walk for three months after I got better. So, I have a brother buried at Hanging Dog Church Cemetery at Murphy. We were always in church on Sunday. I remember Mrs. Crawford She sat by me and Ma and her little boy my age was always biting me. My brother Bob told me to bite him back. Well, next Sunday when Mrs. Crawford came in and sat down, he got hold of my arm and bit me. I grabbed his arm and almost bti the piece out It bled and it was the last time he bit me. I was sure I would get whipped when we got home, but Bob got me out of it somehow. Well, Pa started trying to sell that pretty place when he found out it was no good for farming, being slate He hated that We all loved that place and the good neighbors. The big cold spring had gold in it and the branch also. Our closest neighbors were Mrs. Dockery and Mrs. Olin. Mrs. Olin gave me a little lamb to pet, and I took it home and fed it so much it died I cried, but deep in my heart I was glad it was dead because I was afraid it would be like Pa's ram. I remember my first school It was in a little log school house, only one room, and it was very small We had benches to sit on and no desks. My mother was a school teacher, and she had all of us children reading and writing and knowing the numbers. We were ahead in our class. \ > [to be continued] 58 Journeys Tlirough Jackson S p r i n g 2012 Cw C i v i l W a r L e t t e r s . . . S o l o m o n W e s l e r [Ed.

We are pleased to publish this first installment of an interview with Mrs. Jane Chastain and conducted by JCGS member Sanji Talley Watson. MrsI Chastain's own words are in italics.] [STW...Nancy Jane Shook Chastain is the oldest daughter of James Marion and Clercy Jane Shook. At her next birthday, she will be 103 years old. She is still ftuTof life, lives on her own, still has a garden, and cans and makes quilts for people in need-.] I was born October 23,1909, in Shook Gove.* My Dad and Mom lived in a house built out of chestnut logs that have been torn down. It was up there where that Bear Lake Preserve Is now. I was born at 6:00 p.m.. Granny- WU&on was the midwife there with my mom. I don't remember her first name. My Grandpa Hooper (Larkin Washington Hooper) had come to check on my mom and found her In labor, so he stayed Dad was off killing a coon down below the house I weighed 4 Vi pounds when I was born. Grandpa Hooper would pick me up ever so often, mid the next morning he told Mom,* "She lived, I'll see you next weekend" Granny Wilson stayed with us for a while and she fed me with an eyedropper for two months. There was four girls and 1 boy, Albert Shook, born in that community in three months' time, and Granny Wilson delivered them all Mom had lost two or three babies between me and my older brother Vess. About a year after •me, my sister Ida was born. She was ^r big fat baby. After that Mom had all big babies. •Granny Wilson delivered all my brothers and sisters except for the last two and they were delivered by Granny BrillieAnn (Brillie Ann Shelton Brown Shook). ^ , Grandpa Washie was a big man, big in his shoulders, with a long beard A right good looking man. He was a preacher around here and started the church at Tuckasegee and the one on Big Ridge "When Uncle Aaron Hooper left here and moved out to Washington state, Grandpa Washie went out therefor about a year. There, weren't any churches where Uncle Aaron moved to, and while Grandpa was out there, he started seven new churches. Uncle Aaron started a dairy out there, iheftrst^one in the area and he and three or four of his boys ran it for years. I don't remember exactly where in Washington that was, though. Grandpa was in the Ciyil War, he didn't talk much about it He did tell us a story about where the soldiers came up on a farm. Someone had fixed a pumpkin and left the peelings and seeds and everything on the porch. He told us that they ate all of it, seeds, peelings, and guts. He said that was the sweetest thing they had eaten in a while He kept some of the seeds and brought them home He planted them one year," so one day after church, he told everyone to come to his house and eat some watermelon, that it was good It wasn't a watermelon, it was a pumpkin. Everybody had a good laugh about that" I guess they'were so hungry when they found it that it was sweet and good to them. He told of a battle where they had caught the other side in a holler. He said that when the battle was over, blood from the men'and horses was running out of tlte holler like a creek. He wouldn 7 talk about being In the prison camp. [STW.. .Camp Douglas, t h e n Point Lookout] » We would go visU him af his house and he would be sitting on the porch in a chair. He would ^ / pick me up, spank my bottom and tell me, "You made it" 85 Journeys Through Jackson . Spring 2012 Grandma Hooper [Louisa Golden Hooper] looked a lot like my mom, but she was a little woman like me Grandpa Shook [Joseph Marion Shook] was a good man, kinda favored Dad 1/ except he didn't have a beard or mustache He was a good looking man too. He lived up on [Cedar Valley] about where the Robert Middleton place is now. One day when I was 14,1 was in the field hoeing corn barefoot, he came by, picked me up, put me on his back, and took me to his house When we got there he gave me a pair of shoes and told me I wasn't going barefoot anymore He would come about once a week to check on us and see if we needed anything. He had a team of white horses that he used for everything. Pretty horses. Grandma Jamima [Elizabeth Jamima Middleton Shook] , / can remember her some We went to see her before she died. She was in a big old bed that was high off the ground, there was a stool beside U that you had to use to get In the bed After Grandma Jamima died, Grandpa Shook married Brittle Ann Shelton Btown. She was good to us and we called her Grandma. After school we would go by their house and carry in wood for them. We would fill the fire box full, stack it high, and we would stack wood on the porch too. The men would get together in the fall and cut enough wood to do the winter until spring came About two or three times a week we would water the chickens and the animals for them too. Dad [James Marion Shook] was a man that would help anyone. One time some people came through and stayed with us a while They didn't have anything. All they had for the house was a coffee pot, cooking pot and an oven. They had some bed ticks, but they had stuffed them with leaves. After a while Dad went to the sawmill and got slats and built a house for them. Dad ran a wire from their house to ours and put a bell on tt and if they needed anything, all they had to do was ring the bell. Mom gave them a lot of stuff to set up housekeeping, even v_y restuffed their bed ticks for them. Later they moved somewhere else. Can't say I remember their names. Mom [Clercy Jane Hooper Shook] didn't have not one gray hair in her head when she died Two weeks before she died, she gave me her sewing basket Mom sold her part of the Hooper property and-used the money to buy a sewing machine and a Comfort [Home Comfort] stove. It was a wood cookstove and it was fancy. It had a huge container on the side that you filled up to warm water. When the man delivered it, people from all around came to see it She told dad to get her old one out of there and take it to the neighbor's house It was a pot belly stove Mom and Dad had thirteen children: Vess [m. Mary Rachel Brown], me, Ida [m. Raymond Orr], Martha [m. Ransey Owen], Mary [m. John D. Davis], Bertha [m. Marion Fisher], Jemima [m. James Tucker], Willard [ m. Sadie Moore], George [m. Betty Jo Hooper], Fate [m. Naomi Ashe], Clyde [m. Ernestine Golden], Two children, David Lee died when the flu came through here and Little Joe died of infantile paralysis. All of my brothers and sisters are gone now except George, Mary, and Clyde. When Little Joe died, Mom saw that he was dying and hollered for Dad and they stayed with him until he died When George was born, I was there, and Grandma Brillie Ann had me to hold him,while she worked with Mom. George is six months older than my oldest boy J.C. Watching that made me a little scared We went to school at Rocky Hollow. We went from the first Monday in August until Christmas. You had to be there at 8:00 a.m. andstay until 4:30p.m. each day. We took our v_y lunch In buckets. There was a lot of kids that went to school there. They came from all over. 86 Journeys "Through Jackson Spring 2012 We crossed the river on a'swinging bridge to get to school, but sometimes me and Vess would ^ / walk across the ice oh the river. If Mom ever knew that, she would have beat us to death. Some of the teachers that taught there were Walter Ashe, Joe, and Ferry Middleton. Them two were Dave Middleton's boys and they went to college *I liked going to school, learned really good; worked hard at my school work. Vess learned extra good, Luther Middleton's daughter rode a mule to school because she couldn 't walk good. We would help her get off it and we would tie it in the edge of the woods, then In the afternoon we would help her get back on it She was a sister to Griffin and Arlie Middleton, who got killed by a tree Their mother was a Watsdn, a pretty womanwithfair skin that looked just like porcelain. She lost three sets of twins. I went home with her from church just about every Sunday. Rocky Hollow was also a church. We were born to the church and Dad made sure we were there every time the doors were open. Some of the preachers I remember were Ben Cook and Lawrence Crawford He was a teacher too. He only had one arm, came back up herefrom South Carolina after he lost his arm in a cotton mill * I never got to hear Grandpa Hooper preach that I can remember. Some of his family got together a singing group over towards Waynesville, and they would travel singing. They could sing real good They would sing in all those different parts, alto and tenor and such. Grandma Jamima could sing pretty too. I went everywhere with my Aunt Laura [Laura Jane Shook Chastain]. Went to fown with her, Dad and Grandpa Shook. We took the wagon and spent the night at the Rigdon place at ^/ Cullowhee We camped out. Aunt Laura and me slept in tlte wagon, and the men in the barn, you paid them something to get to stay there I was 5 or 6 years old at the time. George Cole had a store in Sylva and that's where we went Aunt Laura would take me and get me a peppermint stick as big as my arm. Then later Big Doc and Little Doc,Nichols opened up a store too. On the way home, we would stay at Rigdon's again, get up early and head on home. When we . got to the big curve on the river, especially in the winter, they would blow a horn and men and boys would come and cut the tee out of the river, sometimes this thick [STW...about a foot] to keep the horses from cutting up their legs. ' i The Tuckaseigee River used to be a lot bigger than it is now. Both forks of it used to have lots more water than what is in them now. When they built the dams, it made the water levels go way down. There used to be swinging bridges all up and down the river. But, they kept getting . washed away or torn down by tree branches floating in the water. They could get one fixed one day and come back the next day and it would be gone, washed away. My Aunt Laura married Elihue Chastain, and it was at her house that I met Don for the first time I might have been 15 years old, and he Had brought his mother and dad up to Laura and Elihue's to see them. "• When I was around 18, Don walked me home from church. I had been talking to an Ashe boy that lived on Rich Mountain for a while Don would walk me home from church and when we , could get to the house, he would stand on the porch for a few minutes and then leave You S ^ know that they didn't come into the house and stay any time, they would go just to the door. Finally he asked Dad If he could marry me Dad told him that it was up to me, whatever I 87 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2012 wanted He asked me to marry him on the way home from church one Sunday evening. I didn't answer him then, I made him wait until the next Sunday. I wasn't sure about it, but I told him yes. We were married two weeks later in Sylva. Lawrence Crawford married'us in a building not far from the theater in Sylva. Lent McCoy was with us at the wedding. I had got me a store-bought dress already made to get married in. Doc Moses had ordered them and kept them In the back until I picked out the one I wanted He let me have the first pick. Wlten we married we moved into the Absalom Woodring house. It was across the river from the Brinkley farm It had two rooms upstairs and 3 rooms downstairs. There was two beds in the living room and five upstairs. \ y ^j Above, left to right, George Shook, Mary Shook Davis, Jane Shook Chastain, all siblings in a 2011 photograph.

From the "Mountaineer" (Waynesville newspaper) issue of 19 Jan 1922...Balsam news "The Methodist Sunday school is starting out with good attendance and much interest. This is one of the school (sic) that does not slose (sic) in winter and has been in session every Sunday since it was organized in August, 1913. Mrs. D. T. Knight, the superintendent, and Miss Nannie Knight teacher of 'Our Little People' class, were present every Sunday last year. Misses Mary Mehaffey and Lillian Kenney, members of Miss Nannie Knight's class won prizes offered by her - the former for perfect attendance and the latter next best. Miss Evelyn Green won the prize for attendance in Mrs. R.J. Bryson's class...Although there are not many Methodists in Balsam, every member of the church is a member of the Sunday school." ^y 94 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2012 U I n d e x f o r / T T , V o l .
