The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-07-22


live in Memphis but, having deep
roots in Buckingham county, it
disturbed them when they spoke
of friends and relatives here that
it had SO little meaning to their
children. They wanted to do
something about the situation,
and vacation time seemed just
right for making the correction.
Friday night, Dr.. and Mrs.
Kuykendall and their children,
Ann cher first year Of college be
hind herr, Mary lWho looks like
her grandmother KuykendalN ),
and young Nat who celebrated
his 18th birthday Saturday ar
rived to be house guests Of Miss
Beth Forbes while they visited
friends and renewed ties in the
community.
Stopping by for Miss Louise
McCraW, who was spending the
week end with Mrs. Rodney
Smith, the Kuykendalls made
their first visit at the McCraW
place. There they were greeted
by Mrs. E. c. McCraw, Miss
Charlotte, the Leeths. the En-
NETT McCraws, and the Richard
McCraws. Twenty is not a COM
plete count of the McCraw con
nections. but it is a good begin
ming toward reunion. and there
was much talk among the older
folks, much getting acquainted
among the young. and much
camera work to record it all.
After the morning together, the
McCraws and Leeths, their va
cation over, left for their respec-
tive homes, and the Kuykendalls
and Miss Louise McCraW went
to Miss Forbes for lunch. In the
meantime, Mrs. John DDorrier
had arrived for the week end,
Mrs. j. p. McCraW had come
from Farmville, and Mrs. Moss
and her son had come, all to
make a bigger and merrier
party. Since there was a birth
day to be celebrated, there was
a cake to be cut and Happy
Birthday to You was sung with
great gusto to 1l-year-old Nat.
Saturday night, the Kuykendall
family had dinner with Mrs.
Rodney Smith and Miss Louise
McCraw. and for the second time
that day, young Nat had a birth
day cake set before him. Besides
the neighbours, other callers who
dropped in during the evening to
see the guests were Marion Gil
liam, of TazeWell, Mrs. Billy
Taylor and Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Chappell.
Sunday morning the Kuyken-
dalls went to Sunday School at
Maysville Presbyterian Church
where DR.. Kuykendall's father
had served as minister for a
number Of years. They attended
church service at the Baptist
church and went home with Mr..
and Mrs. Rowlett Bruce to be
their guests until Tuesday morn
ing.
The Third Cake
In the Bruce home Nat Kuy-
kendall blew out the candles on
his third birthday cake. His
breath supply seemed inexhausti-
BILE though, and he was heard to
say he'd never had more fun on
his birthday.
Tampa, Fla. is long way off
and the Powell Andersons rarely
ever make the trip home more
often than once a year. For Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Anderson it is
always an exciting occasion, for
grandchildren can do a lot of
growing, and there is much to
talk about between families after
that length of time. DR.. Ander-
son had flown up during the win
ter when his aunt, Miss Virginia
Anderson, was in the hospital, SO
on this trip only Mrs. Anderson
and their two daughters came.
While they were here, Mr.. and
Mrs. Norman Rollings and their
daughter joined the family for
the week end.
Sunday callers in the Anderson
home were Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Newman. of Aylett, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Parker, of Walker
ton.
Hard To Fit
After a week end in the courtly
candle-lit world of 18th century
Williamsburg. Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Meade Anderson had struggle
Monday morning to fit them
selves back into the harsher
light of the W rk-a-day week that
lay ahead Of them. Their son,
Jimmie Anderson, was doing his
final week of summer work at
William and Mary, and the And
ersons went to be with him and
to steep themselves in history.
Saturday evening. they saw "The
Common Glory" and Sunday they
worshipped at Bruton Parish.
Mrs. Hattie Morgan was all set
to spend money in a big way
Saturday. She went to two sales
the first at Columbia, and then
to the Ruritan sale at Bucking-
ham. She didn't spend as much
as she was prepared to, but she
was highly pleased with her pur-
chase a half gallon of stew
