Notes
a. Note:   Interview with Clyo Estelle Mallory Violette 11 Oct 2003 Elkton KY Re: Martin Trout: Clyo remembers Mallory reunions at Martin Trout's home. About 1920, Uncle Martin and Aunt Ella lived in Todd County KY, near Mt. Sharon Church. The Trout place was on the left on the road to Gant's Cemetery going north from Sharon Grove. Clyo would attend with her parents, Reno Mallory and his wife Annie. Reno's brother, Loren Mallory and his wife Mae, would bring their daughter, Noreen. Aunt Ellas' brother, William Eliah Mallory also attended. Each of the families would travel to the reunion in individual surreys pulled by a team of two horsed or mules. The surry had two leather seats, front and back. A lantern was mounted on each side of the front seat. The surrey had a a wood buckboard with a holder for the whip. Clyo remembers the floor boards were like wooden trays she put her feet in. They had leather tops and leather buttons to hold curtains in bad weather. They would arrive at the Trout place before Dinner, as the mid-day meal was called. Dinner was a large meal with fried chicken and ham, served on a plain homemade wood table. The Trouts had chickens and turkeys and pigs as well as vegetables and fruit for canning. Martin Troutt was a old man at the time and wore a beard of medium length around his mouth and chin. His wife was a "little woman wore an apron over a dark dress with hem down to the floor". Clyo said they resembled the current-day Amish or "plain people" in appearance. The Trout house sat on a large hill that extended beyond the farm. Clyo remembers attending baptisms that were held at a nearby pond on the same hill every summer. The house sat low to the ground in front. It was unpainted but had a lot of latticework for underpinning between the back porch and the ground which sloped down steeply from the house to the yard. A fence around the back yard was made of two wires at the top held thin wood slats. The Trout place had six or more bee hives spaced in rows between the fence and other farm buildings beyond the back yard. Clyo and Noree Mallory loved to play together and explore the farm. The children were curious about the hives and were told they could look, but they were warned "not to bother the bees". The beehives were unpainted wood boxes with slanted roofs. The bees came and went through a hole in the high side. The way the bees moved over each other at the holes, forming a ball was a curiosity to the children. Noree said "let's get a stick and stir them up". Clyo refused, backed away and repeated the elders' warning, more worried about the whipping than the bees. Noree found a stick and of course she got stung. Immediately, she began screaming and they both ran back to the house. Clyo remembers the parents putting salve on Noree and was happy there no whippings. She fondly remembers her mother speaking of the Trouts as "nice people with good reputation". Uncle Martin Troutt had one of the first saw and grist mills in this area, on Troutt's Creek, near Gant's Cemetery. One day the boiler exploded, some persons were burned severely, others were frightened badly, but no one was killed: the mill was built on the farm which (later became) the property of Wilbur Maxwell.
