ger from Louisville, says: Mrs. Eliza
beth Martin started early in life to
feather her nest well, and has always
had her eye on the main chance. She
began life as Elizabeth Bird Of Harrison
county, near Paris, KY. Her first VEN
ture outside of the home nest was
when she married Bud Martin. When
Martin died she married Edward Crow,
a farmer. When the time came to
change nests she allied herself with
William Robin, and lived happily un-

carried one little Martin, two little
Crows and one little Robin. One lit
tie Buzzard was already there to well
come the other birds.
