My mother's recollections about Deacon High: Deacon carved things of wood, including little doll figures and crochet hooks (she has a wooden crochet hook he carved for her). He had a "tumor" on his back, and so was limited in what he could do. He had a little cabin he lived in behind Annie Scott's (he may have been a brother of her's). He was an uncle to Cora Scott, Paul Scott's mother. My mother, Helen (Roscoe) Laughlin attended Rising Star school, and graduated 8th grade there, so she enjoyed the news clippings from the 1936 reunion. She said the clippings brought to mind people she hadn't thought about in years. Thank you, Walter.
