Miss Troy Lou Caddell had this to say about her parents, Sarah Ann Elizabeth "Betty" Yeager and Benjamin Albert Caddell: "We had more fun with our Mother. When we were in high school, she was just like one of us - [would] laugh and play. She was very strict with herself. She never scolded us for we never did anything to worry her. She was one of the best cooks. Her last Christmas dinner in 1939 was 2 roosters she dressed, the best meal I think she ever cooked. She loved Ambrosia, and mushroom soup. She milked cows and churned, made butter, and kept chickens. She always wore a long cotton print dress with an apron. I never did see her in a short dress.
Papa was a mail carrier by 1906. He used a horse and buggy to deliver the mail. He would always get in about dark. We never saw him much. His first car was the first one anyone on his route had ever seen. The car never had any heat. On January 23, 1940, he was carrying mail and had a flat tire. As he tried to change the tire, he had a stroke. Some boys carried him to Edward Mayfield's store. Then Edward carried him to Dr. Krout's home, where he died."
