                       lived with her parents on Harrell Street in Kelford - Tom in U.S.Army during WW II
  "Tom was a great cook and was always in charge of preparing the Brunswick stew that was prepared in a big black wash pot at all the clubhouse suppers. He usually started with the hock of a country ham,  pig tails, side meat, pound of bacon which was fried them out in a hot pot.  Several baking hens were added to the now added boiling water, This mixture was cooked until the meat separate from the bones of all the meaty parts and could be dipped out one-by-one with the large flat paddle that was used to stir the brewing mixture.. After the bone were remover the butter beans, Corn, tomatoes, salt and potatoes were added
plus several pods of red pepper. All this was allowed too slow cook with a few bubbles coming up from the low coal heat. It would take several hours more under low heat to cook down the stew until it became thick from the seaming and continues stirring to establish the correct flavor and texture. My father Hobart Austin usually was in charge of cooking the bar-b-gue chicken, etc. When the guess started to arrive and it crowd became larger than expected Tom would always ask my father, "Aus don't you think we need to add another pod of red pepper to make sure we have enough food" 

   "Tom was a great outdoor sportsman. A crack quail shot but not to good at deer. His favorite statement was when you hear old Betsy roar you can come get the meat. On a hunt at Broadneck Hunt Club he let go with five rapid blast only minutes after he was let out to go to his stand. When the other hunters asked "where's all the meat" his only reply was that the deer had met him in the narrow path and before either could react the deer had ran over him and knocked him down flat on his back. With the safety released
his gun started firing and didn't stop until all five shells were spent streight-up into the heaven's. Regardless of his pleads at the Kangaroo Court that night they cut off his shirttail almost up to his collar."
    " When I was 15 years old the Roanoke River flooded way out of its bank  in 1939. Many black tenant farmers that lived in the low grounds were caught with no way to get out. They owned no automobile or a boat to help them escape.  Tom and I took my fathers fishing boat and helped ferry out many of  these families. The only way in and out was to follow the paths that lead to the homes. "Uncle" Alec Wilkins was one of the first families to be rescued. When we arrived in the boat he and his wife were standing on the roof of the house with a pillowcase full of their belonging calling on the Lord to come to their aid. From that day on he always called Tom and me 'Big man and little Boy Jesus.' "  anecdotes contributed by Pete Austin

   "Russell kept a horse in the family large barn next to his father in law Will Harrell house. I would ride it at times during an organized foxhunt. The horse was a far cry from a five-gated Tennessee Walking mount. After a morning in the saddle you needed a pillow to sit on. At times there would be sixty or seventy hounds in the chase. Toodley Holding was a big sportsman who had friends that would join the foxhunting group. Tom Moss, Dr Madry, Alex Rawls (a Cousin) and others that had a pack would gather for the releasing of the hounds. If the weather were hot then the hunt would be held at night. After the hunt the women would join the group that evening and have a big cookout at H.G.Bland's Dog Pen Shelter location." Pete Austin

   "Mr Vance Roane bought and lived in the former schoolhouse as you entered Kelford on SR #308 from Lewiston. As a child I was the playmates with the Roane children. The Norfleet's Grove separated their house from my parents home on Norfleet Ave. We would meet almost daily there to play war games,
build forts, caves, hang peanut bag tents and construct paths and bridges over the ditches, play basketball and enjoy our adventures and friendship. My mother Martha Helen Lyon Austin taught school here in this building in 1918-20. I don't recall seeing Vance driving a car. He always walked or drove a mule and cart. In the depression days a car was one luxury you could do without. Governor was a farmer, who worked his mothers Roanoke River property, plus he was a a great turkey Hunter. On a Saturday Governor would
Bar-B-Que a 200-pound pig and took orders from people to buy it by the pound. It usually was sold out before noontime. If you had not reserved your order you more than likely would not get any bar-B-Que that day. He would start at five A.M. and cook it in a pit that was dug out about a foot into the ground. Here it would be slowly roasted over real hickory wood coals until it was time for the well done could be finely choppy and mixed with Mr Roans' special seasoning. It was usually around three o'clock that afternoon
before the operation was completed. "   "

1.  Hay Bland
Pete Austin 
   married 1908 Robert "Bob" E. Shoulars 15 Jan 1874 - 22 Feb 1942 Kelford  
               son of Thomas J Shoulars and Mary Ann Lassiter 
 "Bob Married Hattie Harrell the widow of Julius Roane. They never had children. He helped raise five step-children. They lived in a two story weatherboard "T" shape house facing the intersection of Atlantic with South Main Street in Kelford; 
 
next door to my family on Main Street in Kelford from 1932 until 1960 when she passed away. A very close friends to my family. My grandmother Katie spent many an evening gossiping with her over the years. In the summer they would sit on the front porch and spend time with those that passed on the way home after a visit to to service station to gather the latest news. Here they got it fresh off the press without joining the boys. Grandmother Lyon always carried a walking cane and a flashlight when she made her visiting rounds at night. The cane she explained was to whack the dogs and the flashlight was to bang the head of an attacker. The dogs were a problem but never an attacker. She would give a little chuckle and say that and ounce of preventions is better than a pound of cure. Around nine o'clock you would see her with her flashlight pointing its beam toward home. Mrs Shoulars was not the rambling kind of person that my grandmother was. Hattie seldom left her house to visit except to go over to see her daughter who lived just across Main Street." Pete Austin 

   "Mr Shoulars never owned a car. He drove a horse and buggy plus he had a wagon he used to carry his farming implements back and forth to his wife's farm that he tended west of Kelford down Black Jack Road. He also worked the farm property directly behind his residence that was owned by J. C Cherry. Mr Shoulars grew a very long and heavy handlebar mustache that protruded way out from each side of his nose. The horse he owned was an Indian Painted Roan with white hind flanks. A beauty when hooked to the buggy. 'Bob' was a very reserve man that kept to his self most of the time. Never gathered and visited with the boys at the service station after supper. Whenever I saw him hitching-up his horse to the wagon or buggy I would go over and help him just to get a ride on the buckboard as he made his way out to the highway as he departed on his way to the farm. Sometime I got to handle the reins until we reached the fence gate. On some occasions he would let me drive until he headed west on the road towards the land that he farmed. Here we would stop and then let me jump down onto the ground and then start walking back home. It was very exciting because he never allowed anyone else the thrill of driving a real live horse and wagon down Main Street." Pete Austin
