I am 85 years old, I was born in this county ( Perry). My father was a 
Wilder, my mother was Rhoda Sizemore.The first preacher I ever heard was 
Chenault, 
a Baptist and he preached on Cutshin. William Mattingly was the first School 
teacher. I remember he taught when I was a child. My grandmother's maiden name 
was Aggie Shepard. I remember to have heard my grandfather Sizemore says to 
her " Dam-an-it Shepard I can't stand you much longer". At Glades on Bower's 
Creek, Joh Gilbert killed a wolf. It had killed a two year old mule of his. He 
rode on the pelt for as long as he lived. I have seen Rev. John Gilbert have to 
hold onto the fence because he had taken a dram to much. I have heard him say 
many a time at the close of service on Sunday as he would start to the door, " 
Dear Dear me, brethren have you any bull yearlings to sell? I have a many 
cloth from nettle which grew wild. It made white cloth.
