Mrs. Gabbie was a friend of my grandmother, Mrs. Ida Pipkin, and my mother, Margaret Pipkin Sanders, but although I remember the Gabbies names, I can't say that I met them. However I was rather young at the time and my time in Tillar was as a youngster visiting my grandmother. I was the age of Wink Kimbro and his wife and the Landfair boys. This was in the era of Mr. Ward being the station master and before the Burns were the postmasters. Mr. Watsons drugstore was the afternoon gathering spot while waiting for the train to throw off the mail and it being sorted and put up. Of course you could always go by and visit Mr. Jim Ballard or Mr. Cooper at their stores to while away the time. It was a Norman Rockwell type of town to grow up in. But I do ramble don't I?
