Notes for HORACE RONIE PHILPOT:
From Uncle Horace-
The first time the train crossed the trestle on Tallapoosa River in Harrelson County, Oliver Nathaniel Harbin was the engineer. Mammaw went with him. The trestle was unfinished and Mrs Harbin walked across and he drove the engine across. In 1887. the hills were covered with people in wagons and buggies that had come to see the train come across. There was a shopper's train that ran from Cedartown to Chattanooga for the people to do their shopping. It went up in early morning and came back into Cedartown about 7 pm. Mammaw would meet Taddy where they turned the train on the "Y" and ring the bell. The people, (a few), complained to the railroad officials that the bell ringing was keeping them awake (7pm!). The officials told them that if they were asleep at 7 pm they shouldn't be and if the bell ringing was offensive, they would take off the shopper's train. They kept the train. Mammaw was visiting Lady (firstname) Whitehead in Rome when she met Taddy. Mammaw went to a music conservatory (college) in Dayton and met Lady there. Mammaw's Daddy owned a hotel in Xenia, Ohio. They had Irish girls for maids.
Notes for MAMIE LILLIAN LOWENTHAL:
