    3. Hi, Kathy- Hugh and Connie Herring lived on the Duffau Creeek- old Williams or Great Uncle George Carey place- near Channel Sandrock swimming hole- Bud Martin's old home. Perry and Maypearl Pemberton Carey lived there when Truett was small., then moved north across the old dirt U.S. 67- between our home and Gristy land. George owned both homes. Don't remember Golda being born before 1946. The second house was across the Duffau from the Selden or Hatchett Cemetery and we were across the next branch east, where Grady Wyly and /or daughter now own . Hugh and Connie lived there when Connie taught at Selden and Johnsville. They attended Johnsville church of Christ, but she was in the American Red Cross group which met in the Selden School Auditorium building for rolling Red Cross Bandages from old sheets to send overseas to combat zones. After bandages were rolled, they quilted . We have a quilt with Connie's name stitched to one square. Hugh farmed some and grew peanuts on Great Grandad Moxley.s place across Hico Hiway from the O'Brien home place. People often drove their tractors to work if they had a fast high gear from one farm to another, as pickup and car gas was rationed but tractor gas was available. i remember one family whoi came to church at Pony Creek in a trailer and a B Farmall a few times. I helped load and thresh Hugh's peanuts one year. Were the Herrings buried at Hightower cemetery related to Hugh and Connie and/or you? About 1950 they moved into Stephernville and opened their business office- Real estate , wasn't it? charles A. Wyly
