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.
