MEMORIES OF LOUISA "LOUIZIA" /"LIZA" MAE DAVIS EAGLE
By Karen Louise Eagle Moman, written in 1985

My first memory is always of how much I loved her and of her long hair. My Granny was such a very special person in my young life.

Granny would iron by setting about four to eight flat irons on the top (where the lids were) of her kitchen stove. She would hook a handle to a hot iron and iron a little while then release it back to the top of the stove and attach another flatiron on the handle.

It seems that by today's standards my Granny was a super woman. Then I realize by any standard she was a super woman. Granny made lye soap over a pit fire with a huge pot and a stir paddle with a long handle. She was always very stern when she cautioned us to stay away from this pot.

I LOVED being around my Granny. She would let me tag-a-long wherever she went. I especially liked going with her to feed her biddies (little baby chickens). She made a mush out of cornmeal for them. She called it her biddy food. The little chickens were kept with their mothers. The mother hen was in a coop that did not allow her to leave. The slats in the coop gave the chicks access to either inside or outside. Why was this? I never knew to ask then. I t seems as if the mother hen could have been more effective outside of that coop. For whatever reason it was done it had to be the right way or my Granny would not have done it. Granny would put feed inside the coop for the hen and feed the little biddies outside the coop. I can still remember their warmness, the beat of their little hearts and hear Granny as she cooed to them.

Granny had the little people wash jars for her when she did her canning. This was usually done outside in washtubs. I might also add all of our little hands fit into thejars. In later yeras I used to pray to God "to plump up my jands" so they would not fit into jars. I greatly disliked this task.

Granny was a person with a heart of pure gold. She would give up "the shirt off her back" to anyone in need. I have been told I get that from her. I remember others saying, "Be certain that anyhting you give to granny can be used by others as she WILL give it away." The way I see it "It (whatever the object might be)" is only on loan to any of us. We just think we own things. Far too many in today's world suffer from the fact that "things own them" and that is externalized by their greed. Granny did not have a greedy bone in her body, as they say, and I heard it said often about her.

After papapw Eagle died granny came to Falls Mills, Tazewell Co., VA to live with us (family of Darcie Ray Eagle & Hettie Marie Shrader). Being so fond of my granny I took it upon myself to warn her about using out "thunderoom/outhouse." On the Eagle Farm at Snake Crrek , Duck, Clay Co., Wv there had not been any trees oustisde of the facility. On the Eagle Farm at Falls Mills, Va there was a huge desciduous tree whose foliage cascaded over the structure. I forsaw a problem if granny was not forwarned. In or day and age there were few rolls of purchased toliet paper. For our "discomfort " we used old much read issues of the "Grit," "Sears & Robuck Cataloges," "Spiegle Catalogs, " etc. If you had not already read these copies you usually read or looked at them many more times while they were shedding their papges for our "much needed" purpose. This was all well and good. However, I warned granny that she had better be careful if she ever got a hand full of leaves, on the way in, that there was not a woolly worm (some call them woolly bears) on the leaves. The act of using leaves with woolly worms would make you walk funny for days as they stung! Granny laughed and said," I spect I ourta be careful ( I ought to be careful)." When there was no paper product, in the facility, and the tree was in leaf, you could tell the height of the talled person, in the family, as that was how far the leaves had been stripped for our use! Yes, I ENJOY my indoor facility.

One day granny received a letter that had been "brought up" from our Rural Route mail box # 477, about one mile away. Yes, we lived in the country and it was "a fur peice to the mail box" as granny would say. I will never forget this day. Granny was making the cornbread for supper (I still call my evening meal supper rather than dinner, as any good hill person knows dinner is at 12:00 noon). An Edgar Barnett, of Sutton, Braxton Co., WV., had written to ask granny to marry him as he was a ‘w idder-man" as granny told me. Well, granny took the cornbread out of the coal stove oven and it looked like a flapjack (called a pancke by others). Granny said, "Pon my word" (translated , from "Mountain Music Language" becomes Upon my word)!" Granny had forgotten to put the salt and soda (she used buttermilk for cronbread instead of using "sweetmilk" and baking powder) into the batter. Not long after this Edgar came and took (stole-as far as I was concerned) my granny to be his sweet little wife, thus erasing the "Widder" from both their names. I NEVER forgave him for whisking my dear little bright eyed granny from our Virginia farm. Of course, she wanted to go, but she and I did not share the same thought about the subject.

Edgar Barnett had fisrt married Lona Lockhart and then (I think) a "Widder Boggs." I do not know the given or maiden of the "widder woman." Lona Lockhart was the sister of:
Minnie Lockhart-married my great uncle, Charles E. Davis
Meady Lockhart married my great uncle Jehue Grant Davis
Loccie (?-uncertain of spelling) Lockhart -married Lloyd Carr
Both Davis men full brothers of granny Louisa Mae (Davis) Eagle.

Granny will live forever, in my heart, and the hearts of all her gradnchidren as she is dearly beloved. Each life my little grany touched was enriched.
