Person:Lillian Judge (1)

When Lillian was young, she lived on top of Hastings Hill. She had to walk fromthere to Pine Grove to school and back. Lillian and Guy took a train from Galmish to New Martinsville and got married. They rode the train back that evening.They weremarried by F.B. Smith, Minister of the Church of Christ in New Martinsville. When they were first married, they lived in the old Odder Den School house while Guy's father built them a home. He only made it two bedrooms as he didn't want them tohave a big family. As the children, seven in all, started coming, Guy built a building beside the house for the boys and workers to sleep in. When I got old enough to sleep there, the rest of my brothers were not livingat home then, I thought itwas great as I didn't think my parents would know what time I got home in the night. I didn't realize until I was older the dogs would bark when I came home and they would hear them knowing what time I got homeanyway. Mom was always thepeacemaker in the family. When Dad would get mad atus she would do little things for us to make up for it. I remember being home on leave from the Army and Dad and I got in to a good one. I told Mom I was going back to the Army that evening andleft for the day. When I came back that evening to get my things, Mom had made my favorite pie and had my clothes done up for me. That is the way she was. When Guy and Lillian first got married and the children were young, she would get on oneend of a cross cut saw and help out cutting props. When there were no children at home, she done the milking and careing for the garden. She always canned every fall so we had plenty of fruit, meat, and vegetables in the cellar to eat. AfterGuy had his stroke in 1970 she kept care of him until she died at the age of 71.
