If my dad was only still alive he could give a good run down of who was in the Muncie/New Castle area from Fentress County and other surrounding counties. I use to come home from school and mention a schoolmate's name and dad would say that was so and so's child or grandchild. I know there were Tompkins, Williams, Zacharies, Amonettes, Bows, Allreds, Slavens, Matheny/Matney, Garretts, Bucks, Flowers, Tidrows and many others I no longer remember. By the way one of my best friends was a girl named Darlene Slaven. I wish I could remember who dad said she was related to. I don't ever see the name Delk on this list but what I remember all the shoes that have been worn by members of my family that came from French and Delk Shoe Store. Through time our families have left their homes and spread far and wide, many leaving their marks in a vast array of places.

One of my uncles left the next day after he graduated from high school. He and some friends went to Battle Creek for work. That was really sad to see him leave at such a young age. The whole migration was sad in fact.
