NOTES
ABOUT ROBERT: was recalled in these notes compiled by Robbie Parkison about his mother Ethel Gabbard Parkison. Ethel was born May 11, 1934 in
Owsley County Kentucky, somewhere in the Cow Creek area. Moved to Indiana with her parents at the age
of three. Reason? to farm on the Red
School Road just north of Buena Vista off Stipps Hill Road in Franklin County,
Indiana. "Bud Tandy's" brother or
brother’s son, Perry, lived in the Brookville
area, could this be why they came? Mom doesn't know. My mother's memories of
"Bueny" are very vague
“sometimes". She "remembers Grandma coming in of a night on cold
winter nights to sweep the snow off the blankets piled three or four high on
the kids." The snow evidently blew
in through cracks in the walls of the house. She remembers the wallpaper; it
was old newspapers pasted on the wall. She learned to read from these, as she
didn't attend school until she was eight years old in a one or two room
schoolhouse on the corner of Stipps Hill and Red School Roads in Buena Vista.
Mom remembers the spring on top of the hill that she drew buckets of water out
of and carried down to the house. She stated on a recent visit there "How
it far seemed when now it's only less than 1/8 mile up the hill to the
southwest of the house." Aunt Becky lived
about a 1/2 mile away in an old school building. She was married to Charles Vires at the time. Mom remembers one child
that Aunt Becky miscarried was buried in a
shoebox under the old oak tree on the curve directly in front of the house. Was
the grave marked? I don't know. I'll inquire to others in the family. Most probably it was with a fieldstone or
something. Mom's school days memories are some of the most humorous. But she
still remembers the long hike out the old mud path to Stipps Hill. (Aprox. 2
miles) to catch the bus every morning into" Bueny." At another time
Mom told me how Aunt Betty was always letting on
that they weren't poor and she would hide her food from the other kids in
school so no one would know that she had only sugar biscuits. Mom went skipping
into school one day carrying the lunch bag and dropped it! Out rolled the
biscuits in front of everyone. Ethel in letter to John
Gabbard said that she was born about Three (3) miles from Lerose than
called Meadow Creek in 1934 in Owsley County.
