Made biscuits; used a dinner bell. After she had some grandchildren, she lived in a brick-veneered wooden home with a formal garden, surrounded by the "Gold Medal Orchard" (apples, coddling moth, spray for same), near the intersection of Brushy Mtn. Rd. and Country Club Rd., Wilkes Co., NC. Lived in hiking distance of the home of Kathleen Morehouse, the author of _Rain on the Just_. Said to have taken a dim view of her husband's purchase of the Gold Medal and other land. The house and orchard received water from a spring up the mountain, which was on watershed land owned half and half by the Waughs and the Morehouses.
