TELLS OF TRAGIC
DEATH OF TWO IN
NANTAHALA AREA
,: The tragic story of how a mother
and her daughter lost in the Nanta|
hala Mts. which resulted in the death
j of the mother was told in a report to
, Mr. Philip H. 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

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.
Mrs. Lish Cloer of Hot House, is
spending this week in the home of j
her son, Claud Cloer.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Olvey of just
