Dedication

I dedicate this book to Mammaw, Mary Effie Harrell Chastain because:

             She raised six children to be proud of,

           She lives a good Christian life,

            She has loved me all my life,

            She cares so deeply about every family member,

            She has been a good inspiration to all who know her,

She has always been a hard worker, one that would stop at nothing to do what she felt was important, no matter what the obstacles were,

            She gave me so much of herself and of her time as I was putting together this family history,

She has always tried to help anyone she knew who needed help,

She is still going strong at an age when many simply give up and let others take over.
