This one is mom, so it's reasonably well documented, though there a few holes here and there that I wished I'd asked her sisters before they were gone. I did reach out to my uncle John (LINK TO JOHN WHEN CREATED), but it didn't recall for example her going to Berea College/Prep High School, for instance, because he was the baby of the family and it just didn't make that big of an impression on him.
But, she was born 26 Jan 1947, to Sanford Caudill and Nora Farler in Farler, KY.
Family
I don't know a bunch about my mom's childhood other than she and her mother didn't always see eye-to-eye, my mom had a bit of a temper and maybe just a bit of a mean streak, and was fairly stubborn; and apparently her and mammaw (Nora) would get into row as a teenager and mom would disappear up into the hills for hours or days.
The old home was in the bottom of a hollow on the right fork, the creek running right behind the house. The house was built on about a 5' high cinderblock foundation, I think partly to protect the house from the creek when it would flood, and partly to give space under it for a coal crib to heat it in the winter. I think grandma maybe stored canned/preserves down there to keep them cool as well maybe, but I never went down there. The house had a large kitchen with a table big enough to seat the whole family, 10 or 12 all told, 1 bathroom, and a long hallway with two largish sleeping/bedrooms with (at the time I was little at least) two big beds in each.
I'm sure at various times those rooms were arranged very differently.
The property was largish, with a field next to the house that over the years was variously planted with corn and beans and other crops, and I think maybe they had chickens and pigs (I don't recall anyone to have mentioned them having a cow). The yard was big enough that, by the time I was really aware of what was going on there was always at least one trailer on the property for uncle Dave, and I think maybe at one point uncle John lived in a trailer there as well.
I'm not sure how much school each of grandma's kids got, but I know my mom didn't get here GED until much later, after having us and living in Ohio. I found an idea from Berea College after she passed away, and thought she'd taken some college classes, but after contacting them realized this was for the "Foundation" program, which is now a separate college-preparation High School. They could not provide me a transcript, but uncle John said that the family had a relation at Berea, maybe his uncle, and that he figured she must have taken part of a year of high school while staying with them.

Previous Addresses
6090 Serena Way
Middletown, OH 45044
We moved here when I was about 8, after getting hit by car - mom insisted Granada neighborhood wasn't safe. 6090 Serena way was our parents dream home, they installed the pool and considered putting in a lighted tennis court (that was the big family activity for the 4 of us! The pool was great, and we played in it a ton, even though it was always too cold - we didn't have a heater, and the solar blanket was not that effective. The yards were big, and we played football all the time (breaking my arm at one point), and we would run around the farm of Mr. Zucker, and play i the woods for hours.
510 Grenada Ave
Middletown, OH 45044
We lived here in elementary school, maybe moving here when I was about 4 years old? There were some rough kids around that would bully us, and I was really only good friends with Julie Chapman next door and a couple of boys up the street, maybe the Pergrines?
843 Foster St
Franklin, OH 45005
From my newspaper birth announcement, but I have literally no memory of this place.
Right Fork Maces Creek
Farler, KY 41774
The old homestead, torn down by John Caudill about 2018 for being beyond repair.
