took to life here and soon Edward became a gentleman farmer, raising and showing dairy goats as well as selling goat milk. Helen sold fruits processed with honey under the label Virginia Honey Girl.
hi 1955 the Pawleys sold the Amissville house and moved 12 miles down the road to Rock Mills. Their new home was on 100 acres near the Thornton and Rush Rivers. It was a little too near as it eventually flooded and they moved to higher ground in a new home built by their contractor, Donald Settle.
Edward did not give up the entertainment business entirely while he lived in this area. From 1963 to 1971 he was a DJ at WCVA in Culpeper. It was his last job before finally retiring for good. In his later years, Edward took up writing poetry and even became a published poet.
Edward and Helen both passed away in the 80s. But thanks to Bob Corder, their legacy lives on. The book has a tremendous amount of detail about both Edward and Helen and their professional lives. But it also tells their personal story and the story of their many years here in Rappahannock County. If you’d like to own this piece of local history for yourself the book is published by Outskirts Press (http^Avww.outskirtspress.com)
Bob Corder is a Richmond resident, temporarily making his home in Culpeper to care for his elderly mother. With three books published he’s already at work on two more.
