Corrine's is in the building that was occupied by the New Altamonte Hospital, founded and build, I believe, by Dr. A. N.

This brings back so many memories, I grew up at 605 college st, and remember Mr. Simmons, known as not really nice. I know my parents knew your grandparents, my Mom had Cancer when I was 6, and I remember a nurse who lived up the street would come by and give her the shots she needed. I bet it was your Aunt, the name sounds very familiar. I remember Camp Comfort so well, remember stopping by on the way to church with my Dad, and he would get me some candy or chewing gum. Thanks for those memories.

Thanks. Someone had mentioned Sullivan St earlier and I thought they were saying that was the original location.

The building housed a car dealer for a long time and has been remodeled several times, although it still retains some of the original look.

I may have figured out how Joshua Duncan was an uncle to my Smith relatives. It MAY be that his wife Hattie was the connection. Hattie was a sister to Lillie Alice(daughter of Crockett Duncan) and Johusa was the son of Wm. and Julia Duncan. Since both are named Duncan I was assuming Joshua was the direct relation. Winnie

Winnie, On my birth certificate it is "New Altamont Hospital" and I don't recall ever hearing "old." According to some research it was a nursing school/hospital from 1922 - 1927. It is located on Radford Street, and the business there now is Corrines, so you are right.

It is not where Krogers is, but across from the Christiansburg Middle School. The official address is 100 Radford Street, NW. It is on Radford, between College and Depot if you are looking at a map. Hope this helps.

Rena RE: From: Rena Worthen Date: 1/12/2008 10:53:46 PM To: wminson@swva.net Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] Duncans Descendants of William Barton Smith Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM BARTON1 SMITH He married LILLIE ALICE DUNCAN 20 Dec 1902, daughter of CROCKETT DUNCAN and MARY DUNCAN. She was born 14 Dec 1881, and died 20 Jul 1936. I'll send a copy the marriage to you if needed Rena I have all the info on the Smith Line but have found nothing until now on Lillie Alice. My info from the counthouse listed Wim Bartons father as J. P. Smith and Mary Ann Howery. I have his parentage as Alfred Walker and Sarah E. Quesenberry as confirmed by the family. The line am am tracing is through their son Alfred Crocket. Makes sense that he would have a grandfather named Crockett. I would love to have any information you have, especially on the marriage. Winnie

I want to thank everyone for their quick responses. RE: Duncans---I did find the 1890 census and the listing for Crocket Duncan. In the marriage info at the courthouse, it list a J.C. Duncan as father. The C. could be Crocket. It list mother as Ellie Hawley, perhaps the E. in Mary E.is "Ellie". Does not seem to link them with Joshua who was remembered to be her brother. But maybe that will clear up later. RE: Altamons Hospital---I was told the correct spelling but related the name with the Alta Mons from Shawville and confused the spelling. Was there and Old Altamons Hospital on Radford St? I was told it was located where Corrinne's Craft Shop is in the 100 block of Radford St. I was told it was called the "Ol" Altamons Hospital. Is the one pictured still around? And where was it located? From the map on the internet it looks like it was about where Kroger is now. Winnie

Thanks so much, I will try this recipe too! Dorothy & Calvin **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489

Thanks Cora, My mother liked sugar in her corn bread and I like it also, so I will try your recipe for me and my daughter. Hubby likes his without sugar. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the corn bread recipe. Will let you know how well they turn out. Dorothy & Calvin **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489

Thanks Paul, I sent my cousin to the store and she got Moss self-rising white corn meal, hope this works as well as Martha White. When I go to the store I will get a 2 lb. bag of all brands. We have a hard time finding any side meat or plain old fat back for beans and greens as they say its a seasonal item sold November & December. I guess this is progress in Colonial Heights, Va. Sorry, we were raised on a mess of beans and a chunk of fat back. Thanks again, Dorothy & Calvin **************Start the year off right.

Thanks for hints. The corn bread recipe that my husbands Mom made by memory was one used by Mattie Veril Thompson. I always wondered why the she never used any oil or eggs in the batter. Always came out perfect. Hope mine turns out this time. I will try all the recipes and hints. Will let you know how if I have to throw it out to the birds. Ole Paul said to use Mayonnaise, have to try this because my cornbread was grainy!! Thanks, Dorothy & Calvin **************Start the year off right.
