Myrna and Jess Baughman deserve special treatment by me as I knew
them both.
Jess, an old bachelor, and a tight one, too, caught up with Myrna,
an old maid, one of the many Leatherberrys, and they lived in the
old Leatherberry home (the big house) across from Harley's {Brown}
and slightly west.
Jess has a warm spot in my heart as he took me with him to Minerva
early in the morning when he was going to work and I was going to
school at Minerva High. To avoid walking I would ride with him
when I could. Tight as he was, he was nice and I remember him
as such.
Myrna, Marie's {Leatherberry Brown} sister and Leora's {Brown
Demeter} aunt, had a limp like Mrs. Rowley. She had lived
alone for many years after her dad, George, died and it was very
nice that two quiet people, Jesse and Myrna, could marry and have
some nice years together.
I helped with the estates of each of them. Good citizens of Augusta.
