Marriage Notes for CALEB REED and JANE CARTER: |
(as written by Lucile Marker Scott in the Genealogy |
| she did on the Thomas Reed family) |
I know very little about my great grandfather |
| and grandmother Reed. Mom said she didn't see them often as she was |
| growing up. They lived in Ashmore and that was quite a trip for their |
| mother and four children to take with horse and probably wagon over bad |
| roads. Mom said it was a long day for her. She loved to read |
| and said the only reading material there was the Bible and Sunday School |
| paper. The bright spots of the day were her grandfather always got |
| some ice to make ice tea and bought some beef steak. Both were treats |
| for them as they didn't have them at home. Another bit of excitement |
| was watching the trains go through Ashmore. Mom said it made the |
| grandparents so happy to have them come to visit for the day. Mom |
| said that in later years it made her ashamed to think that they really |
| didn't want to go as there was so little for them to do. There were |
| no cousins for them to play with. |
