and carding wool; of pulling galax and
digging roots to help clothe the 8 sons she
bore at home with only a midwife to alleviate
the birth pangs.
Aunt Tempie Louisy Carpenter Ingram grew
up in an era when times were hard, but she
didn't complain; they raised every morsel of
food for the table and " lived good " she said.
Aunt Tempie lived her final years with her
son Jerry Ingram and his family in a log cabin
on Buck Hill ( In the 3 mile section ) that is
over a hundred years old.
Aunt Tempie was born at the head of Clear
Creek to Will and Julie Carpenter. She
married Bard Ingram when she was 20
years old and bore him 8 sons, Ralph,
Bert, Arnold, Jason, Ray, Jerry, and a set
of twin boys who died in infancy.
She loved to make quilts until her eyes
became to dim but was able to read her
large print Bible. When asked what she
considered the most important thing that
ever happened in her lifetime she replied
softly, " Trusting in the Lord "
