brother to go get the cows, Putter
(the one dog) jumped the fence and
went to get them. He never learned
that she wasn't talking to him. He'd
grab the cows by the tail if they
didn't co-operate; if they were on
their way over a fence, he'd hang on.
A group ofus boys would sometimes
go back up on a hill away from every-
one and camp the night. We didn't
get much sleep, but we sure had a
good time."
Mary Elizabeth lived her child-
hood days playing with the hove--
her brothers and their friends. On
occasion (and they were special to
her) vi si tors came. Or her gi rl friends
from school would come to stay. Her
family was warmly close and =care.
fully supervised," she said. *Mother
was 35 when I was born. If the tale.
vision had been around then, I know
that there was no way she would
have allowed watching it. Mother
read to us slot. When we would be
bed sick, she would entertain us by
letting us look through her postcard
album. It was fascinating!*
Ashby Mann was a smart stu-
dent, attending Pisgah Elementary
School, then Taleott High. He can
still recount all of his teachers by
name. So, too, can Mary Elizabeth.
She attended Crossroads Elemen-
tary at the top of Bacons Mt., near
the Monroe County line. Then, she,
too attended Talcott High where she
met Ashby. They each parted ways
after graduating. He worked 29 years
at the railroad, then some at Hercu-
les Powder, served in the Army, and
fi nelly worked at the Big Bend Public
Service Water Plant, before retiring
in 1973 after having a stroke, one of
three strokes suffered since. Mary
Elizabeth became director of nurs-
ing services for 31 years, after which
the hospital closed and she worked
as co-ordinator for the Summer's
County Licensed Practical Nurses,
sponsored by Board of Education.
During this time, she lived at home,
caring for her aging mother.
One evening in 1977, a nurse
friend of}mrs (wife to one of Ashby's
boyhood singing buddies) invited
Mary Elizabeth to dinner. She ac-
cepted. Unknown to either, Ashby
had also been invited. "I kept trying
to remember what he was like in
school, so long ago,* she recalled, "
and all I could remember was that
he'd had a lot of curly hair--I won-
dered where it had all gone. And I
remembered that he was on the
debating team & singing group --
had a wonderful voice.*
=I was looking for the perfect
women and wife and mother," Ashby
recounts, "and I knew I'd found her
that evening, rd lost my wife re-
cently, had four chldren--two girls
still at home, and I was lonely. Mary
Elizabeth met all of my standards
absolutely. I,e been glad I found"
her.* On Nov. 30, 1977, they mar-
ried.
They both enjoy reading, garden-
ing, church activities, community
work, and are members of Mt. Pis-
gah Unitad Methodist Church. Mary
Elizabeth is a member of the Hinton
Woman's Club, and both are in the
Ruritan, Eastern Star, and Ashby is
a Mason. Many people know their
daughters, local school teachers
Debbie Bower.Talcott, Jane Meador.
Hinton High School, Connie Buck-
land-Talcott. They also have another
daughter (twin to Connie), Bonnie
Shilling, living in Oh.
Recent illnesses and hosptial stays
have prevented the Manna from
doing a lot they'd like to do. What
matters most to Ashby and Mary
Elizabeth Mann is to be remem-
bored as a friend.*
To meet and get to know them,
youll see they easily fulfill that goal.
