H George Washington Caudill and Susan Smith Caudill.
They were both teachers, but at that time you only had to pass an examination to be a teacher.
Later George became a teacher examiner and a member of the Kentucky Textbook Commission.
George and Susan had a son, James, born in 1889 but he only lived a year-and-a-half.
Next they had Stella born in 1891, then William Hampton born 1893, Cappie was born in 1895 and Clara in 1898.
On Feb. 2, 1899 very small twin girls were born, Becca and Arah. However, three days later Arah died.
In 1901 they had Blanche, Alma in 1903, Patton was born in 1905 and Tillman, the last son, was born in Tennessee in 1909.
Becky, as she was called, started her schooling at age three at a one room school house called Clover Lick, the current site of University of Kentucky Community College.
The family lived on a farm and everyone had chores to do.
They had outings as a family such as gathering chestnuts after the first killing frost, singing songs around the fire, reading books her Dad had bought and the Louisville Courier Journal, going to the country store to buy goods and to pick a piece of candy from the glass jar.
Becky was born in the Appalachia Mountains, a little town named Poor Fork, Ky. was where she spent her first five years.
The books she would later write, “Happy Little Family”, “Up and Down the River”, “Schoolhouse In the Woods”, “Schoolroom in the Parlor”, are remembrances from her childhood in Kentucky.
