Memories Of Chaneyville

The writer read with interest of
the reunion at Chaneyville, once the
location of Brown. Manly plow COM
pany, and would love to be at some
of those school gatherings, but may
never have that pleasure.
While yet small boy, my father
moved from on Wolf Creek to the
Ball farm on "Jimmys Fork" and
became pupil under Pearl
Hotchkiss, E. A. Raney, F. B. Chea-
die, M. l.. Newman, Molly Frew,
and perhaps other teachers. COun-
try schools in those days may have
been blessed with other teachers as
good as M. L. Newman, but
doubt if they had any who were
better. One of his customs was to
require the reading classes to define
the words in the text, and to this
end we made frequent use of die
tionaries and synonym book, a
splendid practice. When the chalk
boxes became empty he used to
write a secret number within and
give the box to the pupil who
guessed nearest the number. His
holiday gifts, whether pictures or
candy and apples, were generous.
Some of the pupils of those days
were Clarence, Carrie, Cassius and
Johnnie Clements, Amos Finley,
James McElfresh and his sisters,
one of whom was so bashful she
was offered money for saying her
letters; Archie Finley, Frank and
Fred Glass, Joe Willis, Alice Moody,
Mary, Jessie, Paul and Lizzie Sher-
idan. Should any of these or other
associates of those days care to ad-
dress me, / may be reached at 1046
Dudley avenue, Louisville, KY.
Some of the memories of CLANCY
vile are of getting water in my
gum boots while crossing the
branch, chasing ground squirrels on
the fence, playing button in
Moody's corn crib, building a rail
road" for Johnnie Clements (sta-
tionary) engine, coasting down
through the woods on board with
ill-effects to seat of the trousers),
jumping, playing "sock" and enjoy
ing the great event of the "last
day" exercises,
Collisions sometimes occurred in
the narrow passage between the
school house and fence. At noon
time period when some lads were
swinging in the tops of saplings,
Mr. Cheadle overheard profanity
rang the bell, and gave the writer
and some other youngster a whip
ping for the offense. One day Will
Manly and the writer had such a
good time catching frogs out of the
branch, that we not only did not
hear the bell ring, but did not no
tice the passing of the afternoon
until the Sheridan girls came down
through the woods with my dinner
bucket, and the word that school
was out. Once when the writer
was substituting while the teacher
was absent, he was asked by Carrie
Clements, one Of the "big girls" to
work problem in arithmetic At
ter pulling through it he found that
she all the while knew how to solve
it herself. Some surviving pupils
may yet remember the day when
John Moody brought his big bass
viol down and sang "I Have a Joy I
Can't Express Since I Have Been
Redeemed" If it would be pleas.
