You remember the Fetty family?

Great job of research on that Fetty family.

Granny, we ain't seen this family in some time.

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.

Oh, here you are, Uncle Jed.

Can we have us that man-to-man talk?

Sure, sit down.

Well, what do you want to talk about?

Emeline Fetty.

Can her and me get married?

Married?

Yeah, you see, she is crazy mad desperate in love with me.

That's kind of sudden, ain't it?

I reckon.

But you got to remember, she's just a plain dumb old country girl.

She ain't never seen nobody like me before.

Said so herself.

When did all this come about?

When I was driving her into town and back.

I didn't aim for it to happen.
