From 1947 Plants History Book CHRISTIAN PLANTS BRANCH (By Mrs. C.O. Edwards. Beckley. WV) (3) Christian Plants was a teacher in the early days of the Free School system in Mason County, West Virginia. His name appears on the list of teachers attending the first Teachers' Institute held in Mason County. He was very witty and quite a joker as is instanced by the following incident. One day he was looking at a notice of public sale, when a stranger came riding by. "Uncle Chris" requested him to alight and read the notice. The stranger, willing to oblige, dismounted into the mud, approached the tree on which the notice was tacked and read it, never realizing that he was the victim of a practical joker. I have several times heard "Uncle Chris" tell this story with a jolly chuckle. (Submitted by M. C. Lewis).
