I was nine years old at the time and I >>was living with grandmother Cash at that time. I recall that Uncle >>Russel and Uncle Ray Cash hired a Surrey with fringe around the top to >>take Grandmother Cash, Aunt Mable and me to the funeral. I shall never >>forget that ride in that elegant carriage. I was quite impressed. I also >>recall seeing Grandfather Overton stand up in the pulpit at Toledo at >>the Baptist Church and preach. I always sat with Grandmother Cash on a >>front seat while her father preached. He scared me to death preaching >>about hell. >> >>I also have memories of fishing in Grandfather Overton's pond with Big >>Maw Riggins, the wife of George Riggins.
