MEET THE WOLFE'S.. A PICTURE FROM 1949-1950

MEET COYD AND ANNIE WOLFE

THIS IS MY LATE GRANDPARENTS..

They raised three daughters and two sons, and a granddaughter.

MY GRANDDAD DIED AROUND 1953 AND GRANNY DIED 1974

THEY FARMED FOR A LIVING, AND GRANDDAD PEDDLED HIS FARM GOODS.

THEY WERE LIVING UP RICHPATCH WHEN THEY BOTH PASSED AWAY. (well, Granny had went in a nursing home shortly before she died, in WAYNESBORO)

I was only a little over 7 when Granddad died, we had went to town that day for candy for trick or treater's (on Halloween) and when we got back home he had died, cutting wood.. (it was his heart) He worked hard on the farm, from sunup to sundown, and plowed with a horse named Topsy, and he had a lot to plow. They also had an orchard and raised apples, peaches, pears, and plums. Granny worked just as hard in the house, and doing her chores and laundry, she canned everything she could. She raised chickens too, and they had milk cows and raised hogs.

One thing I remember about Granddad was that he was real superstitious. He believed things like if you can in one door, you had to leave the same way when you left. If you didn't eat while you were there, you brought trouble to the house. I remember one time I killed a frog, and he 'lit into me' , believing that it made his cow go dry. Breakfast, I remember that he always finished his meal by opening his biscuit on his plate, and pouring coffee on it and eating it. Sometimes he would pour himself a glass of milk, open a raw egg up and put it into his milk and drink it, he said it had something to do with his stomach. The main thing I think of about Granddad was HOW HARD AND CONSTANT HE WORKED.

Granny cooked three meals everyday they were at home. She read her Bible at night, and sometimes read to us. Granny disciplined us more than Granddad did. She too was a very hard worker, and they have both been gone for many, many years.. but memories remain.
