Description
Excerpt from The Beginnings of Pikeville College
In July we started for our new home. From Chicago my husband turned south to Pikeville, and I went east for a short visit with my people in Pennsylvania. Mr. Record stopped at Ashland, Kentucky, to see Dr. Condit to talk over plans and prospects for the school. I do not remember that there was any contract made between parties. I believe the only orders were, Go in and make What you can of of the wor This meeting marked the beginning of afriendship which has continued through all the years. The Condit home became a resting place where Pikeville teachers were always welcomed. Dr. Condit''s kindly visits and his wise suggestions were very helpful during those years, and the interest and financial help rendered by him and his congregation cannot be estimated.
In August I was to join my husband. I traveled to Columbus and then via the Norfolk and Western Railroad to Williamson, West Virginia, where my husband met me with a hack. After breakfast we started with the hack well loaded down by trunks and hardware. It was a hot August day. The road crossing mountains, following creek beds, or skirting the hillside seemed unending. Finally as the sun was dropping behind the hills we reached the ford at Pikeville. The river was low and the crossing easy. In later years I made this crossing when the water came into the - bottom of the wagon. The hack took us through town to Hendrick Hall, which was to be our home. We were too weary to walk the half mile or more to the Connolly House where my husband was boarding. A kindly neighbor gave us provisions for supper, and a little later we retired, thus ending my first day in Kentucky.
