We received this note from Mitzi Dorton who wished to share what she knew of her great-grandmother.

"I also want to tell you a little bit about her. These things were told to me by my father. She had an old antique pump organ, and she played the old hymns, Amazing Grace, Old Rugged Cross, Bringing in the Sheaves, and others, frequently heard across her mountain farm. Her home was on a hilltop in Moccasin Gap, Virginia, a white house, I was told, which was kept very neat with flowers all around and grapevine trellises. She seated her grandchildren along a primitive long wooden table with benches, and they had assigned seats, boys on one side, and girls on the other. She also had a pie safe for her baked goods. She often baked cookies for them, and was a very loving grandmother. My father said as a little boy, he would watch her comb her long white hair at night one hundred times, and they would count together. He adored her, and I remember standing at her grave on the farm where sometimes all that could be heard was a buzzing insect or a rooster's crow to break the silence, and he had a faraway look remembering and telling his little daughter about how they brought her coffin up the hilltop with a wagon and horses.

When I visited her daughter, Maggie Mae (Great Aunt Mag), she told me she had some of Grandma Fortner's framed pictures in antique frames. His favorite was The Guardian Angel. She also had Horses in a Storm and The Lord's Supper. My grandmother, Mace Dorton, had her mother's Bible, and I copied the birth and death dates down of her children from it. Willie Jane and her husband tragically lost an older daughter who fainted into the fireplace, Lucy. My grandmother was born shortly afterward in 1903."

I also knew Violet Ann Pegram very well. She married Charles Marion Powers and they had one son, Conard Powers. Violet and Charlie lived on a hill over looking the Coleman Church and the mouth of Lick Fork. My sister and I used to go to their house on winter afternoons, after school, to warm before walking the 2 1/2 miles up Lick Fork and home. My first three years of school was at the One Room School House built by George N. Pegram in about 1889 it was behind the Coleman Church.
