Hightown Home Demonstration Club News
Last Wednesday was another one of October’s bright blue days and Crabbottom Valley never looked more beautiful Hightown Home Demonstration Club members viewed the valley from the porch of the Henry Hevener home. Inside a fire was going in the big fireplace. This fireplace was built long before the war between the States The hostesses, Miss MARY ETTA HEVENER and Mrs James Bird recalled the story their grandmother told of the visit to this home by Yankee soldiers in search of food and clothing. A roll of carpet had just been taken off the loom. Fearful, lest’ it be stolen too, the girls hid it quickly under the day bed. Then they sat upon the daybed spreading their skirts to hide the precious carpet. The meat hung in the attic for safety, was saved by the chivalry of the Yankee commander who ordered his men not to go beyond the first floor of the house. If the Yankees came looking for food now, they would find it in abundance. The canners have been busy here this summer ....
