Bryan, Forest Superj visor of the Nantahala National Forest, by Project Supt. K. B. Trousdell of CCC Camp N. C. F-23. On Monday morning February 17, 1936, Mrs. Parker and her 16 year old daughter, Minnie, left their! mountain home or. Betty's Creek, I Georgia, and headed through the roughest stretch of country in Western North Carolina, with Cartoogee > ettlement as their goal. To reach their goal, it was necessary to cross a divide 4,000 feet high and follow woods trails for a distance of fourteen miles, a stiff journey at a more ^ seasonable period of the year. 1 Near noon on Monday February 17, their first contact with local resident 5 of Coweeta Creek was made rear the Coweeta Experiment Station at Reynolds Gap where they inquired as to '* the direction of Cartoogee settle? rnent. They were directed to the! right trail and proceeded on their ' way. ' At 2:30 in the afternoon of the 1 same day, they were met again by " Asst. Leader William Griffin and a small crew of CCC men from Camp N. C. F-23 who were doing mainten1 ance work on a new trail in the Ex^ perimental Forest. Griffin walked with the two women to a point one mile down this trail where they were again set in the right direction. The two travelers, lightly clothed and with little if any food, had meandered over the numerous mountain trails more than twelve miles since !* they had started in the morning. No. further assistance other than that they be directed to the settlement ( wa i requested of Mr. Griffin and alc though the tragedy to come was not It ? ce 1 ai'i'mitriii, vii ill ill uiiim cll ?>MSlttllL't which was declined. The incident was " reported to Mr. Will Stewart, a Forest Service employee, and work was resumed. n Shortly after, the skies clouded and a cold rain started to fall and the CCC crew ceased work and returned to camp. What transpired from 2:30 P. M. Monday to 10:00 Tuesday morning is a matter of conjecture. The suffering the-e two sparsely clad travelers .ndured as they wandered, bewildered and lost in the high mountains 1 with a heavy rain falling throughout the night and nearly freezing temperatures. Just before dawn, the 1 rain stopped and temperature drop1 ped to about 20 degrees. At nine o'clock Tuesday morning, the work crews were sent out to the job; the bitter cold had prompted the j delay from the usual early departure. One crew of 20 CCC boys, sent up to the construction detail of the upper rain gauge trail, had an experience | ' before them that they will long re- j I member. Two of the best hikers,1 Joseph Sherrill and Lewis Howard,! * were in the lead when they reached * the job. The sign that greeted them was tragic. An elderly woman lying on the ground partly under a pitched tarpaulin on the upper side j of the trail was apparently dead. About thirty feet clown the trail was the motionless body of a young girl, j Here at a point three miles in the op-1 posite direction and on the same trail I 1 from which they had been directed I the day before, they came to the end of the trail, their energy exhausted ! and their bodies frozen. Enrollee Grady Wilkes who was in charge of the**party quickly organized first aid efforts. Resucitation method.-? were employed, warming fires built and two of the swiftly and carefully over the four mile mountain trail where the women were rushed off to the hospital in . Franklin. Their responsibility completed, the I boys resumed work. Building trails, roads, improving stands of Uncle Sam's timber or saving human lives. . . . these boys carry on their work , effectively and wholeheartedly. WOLF CREEK Along with our spring-like days there is reported a lot of sickness throughout the community. Miss Pauline Burgess who has been attending the Grayesville Academy at Grayesville Tenn., had to re- i turn home Sunday on account of an accident to one of her feet.
