to love him as one.
While staying with his Aunt
Stacy and working in the Toms
Creek mines, Enoch broke his
arm. This was tough on sixteen
year-old boy, who was having to
make his own way. but he was
made of mettle that never gives
UP. The broken arm was soon an
incident of the past, and he was
at work again in the mines.
However, the terrible blow fell
when he was II! He had an am
bition to learn TO run a motor. He
reasoned to himself that driving
a motor would be fun when COM
pared to the hard task of load
ing coal. He decided, after much
thought, that he would go into
the mines when the motors were
idle and learn all about them.
The chance, that he watched for
came. When he walked into that
mine he did not realize it, but it
was for the last time. A few
minutes later he was broken and
bleeding with one leg cut off and
an iron rod through the other
leg.
Later when he was taken to
the hospital, the doctors said, mo
chance He was put to one side,
without anything being done for
him. till they could later see him
and say, "It is finished" But
God. the merciful, willed it 9TH

blood while there was yet flick

hours of waiting for death. "a kind
nurse suggested that they use her
blood for a TRANSMISSION. The doc
tor did so, and Enoch vi. Rose
passed from the shadows into the
light of the living once more.
For that uneducated mountain
boy, with one leg gone, and the
other crippled, there was not ev-
en- one insurance check, for he
had been injured when not on
duty. The coal company paid his
hospital bill and gave him a
wooden leg. but they did not do
any more. At Is he found him.

Enoch NJ. Rose His Story

4IIOC11 INl. ILOSC. OOI Ii CllO
neighbor and a lifelong citizen of
Dickinson county, Va, was born
on Caney Creek, January %,
1901. He is the son of Rev. Elias
and Malissa Bise Rose. His pa
ternal grandparents were Big
Sam Rose and Martha Rose,
while his maternal grandparents
were Tom Bise and Lourania Nc
Coy Bise.
Before young Enoch was two
years old his mother died. His
first recollections are of loneli-
ness in an audience of many
strange faces while his father
stands in the pulpit. Other boys
Of two or three, or even four,
might sit on mothers lap and
dCze while older folks listened to
the sermon but no such luxury
was allowed Reverend Roses son,
Enoch.
When young Enoch had a STEP
mother. life did not seem any
easier to him. After weary years
-spiced with sleepless nights
filled with bitter heartaches-he
ran away from home at the early
age of Is. Then followed days
and nights of wandering about
the country or sleeping in some
farmers barn. At daybreak, he
sometimes, found himself too tir-
ed to get up. At least once, long
past noon a farmer found him
asleep in the hay in his barn;
took him into his home, and after
giving him water, soap and
towel gave him fresh corn-pone.
stre3ked bacon, butter, cane mo-
lasses and buttermilk. That food
tasted Just as good to the wan
derer, Enoch Rose, as it ever did
to Tom Sawyer, the school boys
hero for the past 81 years.
Into this nightmare Of wander
ings 6 bright light glided; "a low
ing hand reached out and drew
the weary boy into a real home
of warmth, and food and love.
The light was from a well known
home on Caney Ridge, and the
hard was that of the beloved lord
and master Of that home, t h
Reverend Emory Reedy. There
Fnoch found the right home just
when he needed it most. And,
within that holy family circle he
stood erect began to measure
himself-perhaps for the first time
and found that he, Enoch, was
wanting: physically, mentally and
morally.
After the strong friendship was
made with the Reedy family,
Enoch began to make other valu-
able contacts. He will never for
get the hearty welcomes, the
good food, and the soft beds that
many of you good people of Dick
enson County gave him. He.
especially. loves to talk about the
Kindness that he always received
in the home of Long John
Yates. There" Enoch says, II
was treated like 6 son; yea, bet
ter than a son, I was treated like
the Prodigal Son."
AS he grew older he began to
work about the country. When he
was sixteen we find him board
ing at his uncle squirrel Sam
Roses, st Toms Greek, and work
ing in the mines. His cousins
there loved him as their own
brother. and his Amt Stacy who

never be hungry. He stayed
from house to house as he went
through the grades but they
were not houses to him, they
were homes filled with steaming
food, blazing fires, warm beds
and kind words.
AS soon as Enoch completed
the grades he lived with his aunt,
Zilpha Carly. and walked six
miles on clutches every school
day to take his first two years of
high school work at Fremont.
Then he boarded with Rev. NV.
Renines and took day and night
school till he finished high school
at Clintwood. Later he studied at
Radford, Va, until he made a
first grade teachers certificate.
After that his teaching career be-
gan. He taught his first school at
Lick Fork, walking the one mile
to and from school on clutches,
from Allen Powers home where
he boarded. Since he began teach
ing he has taught at Lick Fork,
Upper Lick Fork. Lyons Fork,
Rugsby, Kennedy and Bise. But
when he became a teacher his
desire for an education was not
completed. He saved his dollars
to go to school at Emory and
Henry. Before many years he had
normal professional certificate
from there; and today he hopes to
be able, someday. to return to
Emory and complete one more
years study, which will give him
his A. B. degree.
In 1887, Enoch M. Rose marri-
ed Matte Gene Kennedy. daugh-
ter of Rev. John Kennedy o.
Sally Horne Kennedy. Her pa
ternal grandparents were Pleas
ant Kennedy and Rachel Powers
Kennedy; her maternal grand
parents were Samuel and Eliza
beth Robinette Horne.
In 1882, Enoch began to meas
ure himself for the second time.
He found that. through the help
of friends he was physically and
mentally improved. Then he
measured himself morally and he
was not satisfied for he had not
lived UP to the teachings Of his
friends. Thereunon. he meditated
upon the teachings of Emory
Peedy, nj. w. Renines and other
good christian friends. and had
long talks with his aged father
in-1aw, John Kennedy. Very soon
he strengthened the covenant that
he held, between himself and
God, and became one Of Dicken-
son County's best citizens. One
year later. in 1888, after the
death Of an only ,child-an in
FAINT son-he became minister
of the gospel.
Nearly a year ago, after seven
teen years of teaching. Enoch de-
cided to quit the school room
and answer the request of judge
Sutherland to work in the Clinch-
CO office as payroll clerk. He
left the school room because
those II years of teaching were
telling upon his health, and he
had to make change. But the
night never gets too cold or dark
or he never feels too badly to
answer a call from bereaved
families. He may have to ride a
mule, or welk, and he has rode
q sled to get there. but always,

per cent in higher brackets, where
levies approach the 80 per cent

There has been talk also of
combining a sales tax with levy
on spending, although few mem
bers of congress believe the trea-
sury will give any strong support
to a sales tax. However, Senator
Vandenberg (R., Mich.) said he
thought a sales tax is "the only
answer" to any demand for a sub
