Stan, I want to thank you so much for giving me a glimpse of what life must have been like for my daddy. He was born in 1920 in Standard, WV, went to Marshfork High School and lived in both Wyoming and Raleigh County. He talked some about the days of walking to school over the mountain in snow, hunting and fishing for food, walking miles to see relatives - the blood kind and the "honorary" ones. He worked in the mines until 1940 when he thought he'd join the Navy for a "safer" job. I remember going up to Charleston when I was 10 (vaguely) and hadn't been back until this past May. My trip was memorable in that I saw what my daddy saw and talked about and met family I never knew. Daddy didn't talk a lot about the past - he lived in the present, so I just had no idea what life was like for him in the 20's and 30's. Again, thank you for your gift - I'm saving them all.

I know I promised a memory of pie socials (politically correct for "pie suppers"), but I think it best to set the stage a bit. We will return to pie suppers after Christmas and we have had our pie. The Matheny Chapel Church was the social center for our community. It was the only place outside school where youngsters could meet with others of their own age. Girls and boys from the top of Jesse Mountain and Glen Fork to Turkey Dip, and from the mouth of Coon Branch to lower Turkey Creek and Brenton came to the church on the pretense that they were seeking religion, while, in truth most of them were seeking companionship from the opposite sex. A young man was willing to withstand the boredom and could feign attention to a sermon that lasted half an afternoon if he was to be rewarded later by walking home with the girl of his choice, even if it was under the watchful eye of her parents, which was a given in most rural communities. People joined a particular church more as a matter of convenience than because of their beliefs. Other than the way they called their pastors, the Matheny Methodist Church did not differ much from other evangelical churches of the time. They taught the same plan of salvation and practiced immersion as the means of baptism. There were no churches other than the Methodist church at Matheny in the late thirties and forties, so it was natural that residents of the community would choose to affiliate with the church closest to them. The Matheny church was very small by today's standards. It was a typical rural church house with wooden frame construction and weather- boarding on the outside. It initially sat upon posts about 18 inches high, but in its later years strong winds dislodged it from its perch. The one door to the church was on the end facing State Route 10, only a few steps away. We sat on straight-backed wooden pews. All Sunday School classes met in the single room that was the church house, and afterward the preaching service was held in the same place. Our church had a steeple and a bell that signaled the community when services were about to begin. The people in charge of church services changed over the years that I attended Matheny Chapel, but not much. I don’t know the official names of the church offices, but Uncle Lon Scott always seemed to be in charge. During my teenage years, Chess Stewart was Sunday School superintendent and his wife Louetta was the organist. Tom Duty was song leader. Homer Stewart, who was only slightly older than his charges, was one of those who taught our teenage Sunday School class. I must say I could have enjoyed Sunday School if I worked at it a little bit. Perhaps I should recuse myself from writing about the church services. I am not sure I can be objective. I attended mainly because it was expected of me. I didn’t want to disappoint my Aunt Ruth. Even the girls at church were not as interesting as playing ball or fishing. As a teenager, I was the classic example of one stricken with severe attention deficient disorder. I am not talking about the gospel; the gospel was not the problem. It was the mindless way it was so often served up. It was according to formula. I sat there on those hard wooden pews, my limbs grew numb, my butt hurt, my thinking slowed and only a sharp pencil placed under my chin kept me from fading away completely and becoming a gospel zombie. I longed to be fishing or playing baseball. But if I was going to be put to sleep in church, I preferred that it happen during the music. The songs sounded like funeral dirges sung by a herd of cows that were ,themselves, only half awake. We needed some pep; some rhythm. Both Tom and Louetta (God rest their souls) would be kicked out of the “club” today for the way they strung out those old hymns. Those were the days when they literally passed the hat to “collect the offering.” After the donations were counted, Uncle Lon would rise and thank the church for the amount given. If Aunt Ruth was not at church and I was supposed to be, she always quizzed me on the amount of the offering as a means of checking up on me. I can’t say that I never lied to my Aunt Ruth, but if I did, it was not a common occurrence. STAN

Matthew, Thanks for the response. I thought old Jack I. had left Matheny.

Shirley/Matthew, I need some help here. I am finally back working on my book, "Matheny and Me" which presents our southern West Virginia home as seen through the eyes of a young boy growing up in Matheny in the thirties and forties. At present, I am trying to reconstruct the community in my mind as it existed around 1940 (+ or -). I am confident that I remember most of the people in "upper Matheny," but I am not so sure about the residents of the area across the river from the church downstream from the Frank Stewart place to about where Stollie Parsons eventually lived. I know things had changed tremendously between 1940 and the early seventies, but I figure Shirley is more capable of recognizing the older residents of that area than I am. For instance, Gillis moved there shortly after 1940; I don't remember if his house was there earlier or, if so, who lived there. Thanks, STAN The following will illustrate what I am trying to do: "On the right opposite the old turnoff onto the Coon Branch road, was a small unpainted house. I don’t know who owned it or lived there in 1935 but Jack Marshall and Humphrey Beverly lived there at different times in the late forties. Farther down Route 10 from the Coon Branch turnoff about 1/4 mile or less, on the left side, the Methodist Church and Matheny Grade School sat close to the road and side-by-side on the land donated for those purposes by Uncle Bobby Stewart. They were both frame and weatherboard construction. The lot where the church was located was enclosed by a low steel fence; there was no fence around the school. Uncle Grat Stewart lived across the river directly behind the church and scchool. Bill Dean lived slightly below and up the hill. Conley Dean was a first grade classmate. There was at least one house farther up the hill from Uncle Grat’s place, but I don’t recall the names of the occupants. There was a footbridge slightly below the school that served the people who lived across the river in that area. Uncle Ott Stewart lived alone on a flat above the road on the right."

Stan, Jack I. and his wife Annette moved over to Fairdale in Raleigh County but come home to Matheny whenever they get a chance. They are Shirley's second set of parents, and we stop and see them every chance we get. They also come over to see Cora alot, and are making a special trip to see me and Shirley. Annette and Cora (Shirley's mother) are best friends and they talk every day on the telephone. Jack and Net are good people, that's for sure. I'm sure Jack I. will love to hear the story about his brother. I didn't know you knew Jack I. Do you also know Winford Workman? Winford married Jack I.'s sister Thelma. Thelma has since passed away but Winford still lives in Matheny and is a close friend to Shirley's family. Winford is the grandson of A.J. Mullins, the founder of Mullens. Winford turned 80 last February and still gets around like the Energizer bunny. Matthew STANLEY BROWNING <[email protected]> wrote: Matthew, Thanks for the response.

Stan, Shirley is feeling a little under the weather today but I will ask her about this when she is coherent. Also, I will print your email and take it "home" with us to Matheny, we are going there on Friday and staying until Christmas. I will ask the folks down there that I see about your questions. I'm sure Jack Linkous or Winford Workman will know most all of the people that were there. I will be seeing both of them over the holidays. We will get back to you about this. We've been wondering if you'd finished "Matheny and Me". We've told a few people about it and and they were interested in reading it. Matthew STANLEY BROWNING <[email protected]> wrote: Shirley/Matthew, I need some help here. I am finally back working on my book, "Matheny and Me" which presents our southern West Virginia home as seen through the eyes of a young boy growing up in Matheny in the thirties and forties. At present, I am trying to reconstruct the community in my mind as it existed around 1940 (+ or -). I am confident that I remember most of the people in "upper Matheny," but I am not so sure about the residents of the area across the river from the church downstream from the Frank Stewart place to about where Stollie Parsons eventually lived. I know things had changed tremendously between 1940 and the early seventies, but I figure Shirley is more capable of recognizing the older residents of that area than I am. For instance, Gillis moved there shortly after 1940; I don't remember if his house was there earlier or, if so, who lived there. Thanks, STAN The following will illustrate what I am trying to do: "On the right opposite the old turnoff onto the Coon Branch road, was a small unpainted house. I don’t know who owned it or lived there in 1935 but Jack Marshall and Humphrey Beverly lived there at different times in the late forties. Farther down Route 10 from the Coon Branch turnoff about 1/4 mile or less, on the left side, the Methodist Church and Matheny Grade School sat close to the road and side-by-side on the land donated for those purposes by Uncle Bobby Stewart. They were both frame and weatherboard construction. The lot where the church was located was enclosed by a low steel fence; there was no fence around the school. Uncle Grat Stewart lived across the river directly behind the church and scchool. Bill Dean lived slightly below and up the hill. Conley Dean was a first grade classmate. There was at least one house farther up the hill from Uncle Grat’s place, but I don’t recall the names of the occupants. There was a footbridge slightly below the school that served the people who lived across the river in that area. Uncle Ott Stewart lived alone on a flat above the road on the right." ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
