Memories

of

Rosetta VanHoose Castle

My Grandmother Castle, was best remembered for her cooking. She made the best fried potatoes, fried chicken, milk gravy chicken and dumplings and mince meat pies that I ever ate. She always kept a batch of corn meal batter mixed up and in the frig. for making the best fried corn bread at any time.

She always had a sweet smell about her and the smell was all though the house as well, it was the smell of her special face soap.  She always had every hair in place, and always dressed nice. She kept her house neat as a pen.

She was very loyal to her family, and if you were related to her you had a roof over your head and a place to sleep. She never turned anyone away if they were family, relatives stayed with her from time to time if they fell on hard times. She loved her family very much.

She was religious and almost never missed church where she attended at the Freewill Baptist Church at Estill, Kentucky.
