Sperryville resident James D. Russell remembers sitting at the bedside of his great- grandmother, then over 100 years old. He remembers fetching her pipe and tobacco, turning down the oil lamp, and listening to her stories about the days of slavery and the Civil War. He was about 12 years old at the time.
“I would go to her house and spend the nights there,” Russell recalled. “She would prop herself up on the pillows in bed and tell stories of the plantation days. It was a nightly ritual.”
