Gracie was taken into the Mountain on Pound Mill Branch off of Cloverlick rd. by two men-one was tall-she had a pint jar of moonshine in her hand and was smileing at me and said I`ll be right back..Gracie was friends with my mom Gladys Penley/Barker.. After a while the tow men came back out of the Mts. with out Gracie...I was playing in the yard and said where is gracie ?? The tall man pulled on the brim of his hat to kinda cover his eyes.. They said she was useing the bathroom and would be out in a while... My mom herd me talking and came out side.. When she saw who it was she made me go into the house.. I could hear her and the two men talking and I could see them through the window... They went on to the car and left.. My mom came inside and said don`t you tell any one who was here today-I said they forgot Gracie!!! Mom said they will pick her up on the road-but I was`nt satified-I still feel that feeling today... The next morning I went out side and my little pup`s throat was cut and he was dead... We moved to Cloverfork right away.. My mom and dad broke up and in 1946 my mom gave Roxie and Carl Tweed her baby Brenda-They raised her in michigan.. If this means any thing to any body looking for Gracie-hope this helps you.. I`m getting old and thought I`D put this on here for some one..There is still old people here who will tell you Carl Tweed killed Gracie !!
