Annie Laura Reynolds married Christopher Columbus Heath when he was in his 30's. I asked grandma once how she and granddaddy met. She told me.......
"Your granddaddy went to work for a man over yonder where we lived. One day he saw me and he liked me so he asked my daddy if he could marry me and my daddy said 'yes'. And that's how it happened"
Another time she told me.....
"yes, I got the itch real bad one time and they went and got some wicky and boiled it and I had to take a bath in it and that got rid of the itch"
And how did you get the itch?
"Me and your granddaddy went squirrel huntin'. There was a whiskey still out there in the woods and they would pour the mash out on the ground and the squirrels would come and eat it. We killed a mess of squirrels, but we couldn't eat 'em, they tasted so bad from eatin' that sour corn mash"
