 "It is said Jesse Franklin Cearley had a crippled foot or leg. Some think he probably had polio at some time. Others thought it might have been a club-foot from the way older folks talked about it. He died before any of the children married and none of the grandchildren knew him. Dora never remarried, their little corner of Wise County was called Cearley Community."
