LETTER FROM CULLMAN COUNTY (from J.T. Walker)

Steppville, Ala., August 10, 1935

We are ell enjoying the splendid revivals which are being held close around. 
There have been many additions to various churches by baptism and by letter. 
It is dry out here, corn is needing rain badly, also cotton. Old "Sol" is 
trying to get revenge on us it seems with the mercury rising to 100 degrees.

I was born in Cleburne county, four miles from Edwardsville and went to 
school at the old log school house at Cane Creek. Some of my teachers were 
Robert Barker, Jim Baber, Roberson Warren, Cicero Groover. Some of my 
classmates were Gus Reed, W. A. Reed, Jones Reed and brothers; E.D. Owens and 
many more that I could mention and I would like to hear from them all. I am 
just wondering what has become of them.

My father, T.S. Walker, moved from Cleburne to Georgia when I was quite 
young but while I was in Cleburne I formed many acquaintances that I will 
always remember. In 1925, I moved to this county of Cullman where I now 
live. I visited my mother at Cullman last week and she is doing very well 
for her age.

I have an uncle, G.R. Hale and an aunt, Emma Bennett that are taking the 
Cleburne paper and I would like to hear from them. I was glad to get to see 
some of my acquaintances at the "big singing" at Cullman the second Sunday 
in July. Hoping that the editor will publish this letter, 

Sincerely yours, 

J.T. Walker
