    1. [ARIZARD] Fw: Hope - on down the road
    2. Marsha Boles
    3. Mom is Sibyl Montgomery. She had 4 sisters: Von, Gynon, Bernice, and Doris. Aunt Von married into The McVey family in Oxford - down that road! ! ! I can remember going there at Christmas once. They way I understand it - they lived at Wiseman, but after school consolidation, they all went to school at Violet Hill.  Violet Hill and Oxford were major competition playing ball around there.  So that and church were big meeting places for young people. Young folks will find each other. Still, John Patrick Montgomery had a farm on that road and mom's folks lived there when she was little.  Her dad, Clifton, rented another farm for a year or two too - maybe Tedford's or next to 'the glade' - she is napping now and I'm not perfectly sure on this one. That would have to be around 1930. Then they moved back to the other side of Wiseman - down the Violet Hill Road and across the river. Such a small world ! ! !

Still, I do plan to blow a tank of gas up there next year. BBB said she would be my guide.  Lord knows I will need one - LOL BTW - mom says she dated your dad, Troy - Roy, Jewell and maybe some more brothers.  Can't recall if I ever passed that on.  Boy - small world  ! ! !

At the top of the next big hill  is where the Wards live--the road goes south there too.  Across the road where Wards live is a dead end.( If you go past the Mosses and down to Strawberry, you went too far. )  When my Dad was growing up ,they went to Salem thru the woods.  As far as I know there were not any thru roads to Salem  then, plus it was alot shorter to go thru the woods.  (There was an old schoolhouse down this same road, but it is torn down now.  )  Thanks for your input.  Glenna G.
