From the Ridges and the Hollows

.....I would like to include on this page stories from the ridges and hollows. If I already have an existing pagesomeplace else on this site tht would fit in here, I would like to include it here. The Lizzy Cox page below is one of those pages. The Tuckahoe page would also fit here. I would like to remember people here as well. This may well be a difficult task.
