Mrs. Oglesby, 92, Recalls Old Days In Virginia In Birmingham News Story

The daily Birmingham, Alt. News recently published for its leaders a feature story about Mrs. Nellie Oglesby, 92. a former Buck ingham county resident now liv ing at Bessemer, Ala. The writer of the feature story twines his yarn about Mrs. Ogles by's fondness for recalling so happily the days in Old Virginia. Ife writes of her memories: "For instance there is the old- ■ eight room farm home in Buck ingham county, where she was; bom tnd lived happily with a large family. She proudly exhibits the picture of the home with its typical Southern surrounding veranda. She tells hcwr it housed the father, a Confederate veteran, the mother who made the rule* for a Godly Baptist home, six brothers and five sisters. Parents Natives Her father was Simeon Allen, of Cumberltnd county, and hoi mother. Martha Dunnavant Al len. of Buckingham county. They lived at Enonville from before the Civil War until their deaths in 1910 and 1913. They had cele brated their 68th wedding anni versary before the first one passed on. Mrs. Nellie Oglesby, subject of the Birmingham paper's feature story, was third from the young est child In her Buckingham days, she was widely known a ; a writing teacher and she still writes a beautiful hand. Many years a widow now, M;.. Ogelsby lives alone in Bessemer, but has a host of friends who en joy looking after her. She is a go-'d conversationist and she lis tens to the radio. "Nobody was ever so blessed as I am with friends." she says. Friends Help Now Hei friends perform such serv ices for her as putting in the coal and kindling, marketing, looking after the laundry and such thine

She stays pretty well to her bed room. but keeps a paddle at the side of the house so friends can knock for admission When she want-, some one in the neighbor hood for t favor, she rings a large dinner bell on the front porch. Still the cultured Virginia lady despite her 92 yeats. Mrs Oglesby lives above the adversities of de clining years that distress many fi Iks. She remembers so happily the former years. Other memories are of her girl hood. with many girl friends and beaux. Also, the visit to Alabama for a visit with her brother, Eg bert. who was a railroad man. She met tiie man who was to become her husband on this visit. Married In 1897 A memory that brings a twinkle is that of her wedding in Enon Baptist Church, Enonville, in 1897. Friends from three counties • ■ame to the wedding, she recalls. There had never been a prettier wedding in that part of Virginia, with six couples oi bridesmaids and groomsmen The busiest years were during her married life as wife to her husband-farmer at Green Pond, near Bessemer. Mr. Ogiesbv was a leading Presbyterian elder and he worked by his side in the church. Her saddest backward glance is of the death of her husband 30 rears ago. At his death she gave their home and 40 aeres of land to the church at Green Pond a: a memorial to Mr. Oglesby. After the death of her husband she moved to Bessemer, where she has been since. Gone now are father, mother, brothers. . at t . husband. •'That is what life hr.tigs u# to at 92." ■tie comments now But even though they're si! gone, ttie as s'nations were fine and sweet and memorv of the good life has a way of keeping faith and spirit bright — even at 92
