Mountain Man worked hard. He was a good driver and very faithful to his job. He would pull 2 or 3 Augusta to Grundy loads – back to back. He faithfully worked the same job for many years. He was my friend. Mountain Man told our friend Ricky Honeycutt that everything was right between him and Jesus. ‘Jesus Christ is our hope of glory.’
‘preacher man’

I am so sorry to hear of Authur’s passing. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and we had a long talk, trying to catch up on family things. Authur was my 1st cousin and a nephew of my mother, Nellie Penland Wheeler. He will be greatly missed.
All my love and prayers are with you in this time of grief.
Love to all,
Elizabeth and Clifton Ramsey
