  • Notes 
    • When I met Aunt Euggie in Apr 1990, I found her to be a quiet, refined,
      intelligent lady with beautiful gray hair. She lived in a large two-story
      white home across the street from the Post Office in Wylliesburg, Virginia.
      The home was filled with beautiful, antique furnishings. She had a large bible which had belonged to Travis Ferrell, with his name engraved on it and several old tintype pictures of the Ferrell family. Her mother died when she was a few months old, leaving her father with four children, including a new-born baby. The oldest, was my mother, who was six years old. Aunt Euggie was given to her mother's parents to care for. She stayed with them the rest of their lives.

      She was a very gracious hostess and very fussy about having everything
      comfortable yet proper. She had taught school until her retirement right there in Wylliesburg, and was known not only in her town, but througout the
      surrounding area as simply, Miss Euggie. She was 87 years old, but still lived in her own home and still drove her car. She read a lot and kept her mind active and alert. After lunch each day, she looked in on several of the
      neighbor ladies who were ill and needed company.

      Later, I asked her to send me a picture I had seen of Travis Ferrel's
      family, she sent it to me along with a picture of her as a young girl and two
      pictures of her classroom and students. I feel she wanted them preserved.
