Emory, who helped raise my father, was a wonderful man. His love of history, antiques, flowers, family, friends, laughter, and life, will always be remembered. I, and my family, loved him so much and miss him dearly. This is a touching tribute to my uncle Emory. Emory, who helped raise my father, was a wonderful man.

I recently tried to contact her to compliment her on her work, but the e-mail link in the article is apparently not current. I grew up in Norton, but my father, Charles Peak(e), was born at the Pound. His parents were Jerome Troy Peak (of J.T. Peak Groceries) and Sarah Elizabeth Perkey. Sarah's father was Kendrick Perkey, listed as one of the first Wise County school teachers. Franklin Perkey was his brother. I would still like to contact Nancy regarding information in the Indian Creek article if a current e-mail address is available.
