Image 4 "In a tiny log cabin twelve miles northeast of Buchanan high in the Jefferson National Forest live these two elderly ladies of the past whose combined age is 164 years. Holding an ancient turkey wing used in pioneer days to fan the blaze in starting firest is Mrs. Virginia A. Musgrove, 78. At her side is her sister, Miss Betty Powell, 86, holding an ancient flatiron, said to be over 100 years old. The father of the sisters was a Civil War veteran and, memories remarkably bright, they recall many war experiences of the homefolks of the Jennings Creek section where they live. The cabin in the background, also more than 100 years old, stands a quarter of a mile from the nearest house. Mrs. Musgrove visited Bedford about 30 years ago, that town being the ... either of the women has ever seen. (Times Staff Photo--Hood)"
