Stella, this is a good story. What was the name of the Grandpa who slept past his station
and had to retrace his route. This is a good story to be placed in the notes of this man.
He must have been quite a guy. Was he a gambler?
I know we have communicated before but can't remember your family.

Hello Steve,...we may have written before, we were Chilton Co Cagles,
since 1929 when my children's grandpa was on a train from Sylvania Al
going to Childers -burg area, to visit, fell asleep, woke up while the
train was switching at the Stanton lumber yards.He got off...and started
looking around, said people were so friendly, and he saw the big
boarding house across the tracks...and a postoffice...so he decided to
stay overnight and retrace his trip the next day. Well, the story
goes...he sat down in a big porchswing, outside the postoffice, along
side two little elderly ladies that told him they lived in that
house...pointing to a big white house, facing the postoffice. (Stanton
was a small town laid off in blocks) In conversation, he found out their
house was for sale, they wanted to go back to Va to be with their only
sister. y the time he left the next day...he liked the place so
well...he arranged to buy the house...pending his wife seeing and
approving, he had been seriously injured in WW! and could not farm the
big place she had inherited in Sylvania, and other family wanted it, so
it was a simple thing to move,he later arrives back in Stanton, with her
and two young children, (my husband and sister) She never left...he
moved thier things, and that's home, we still have the heuse. BUT I
rather think you are researching the Chestnut Creek Cagles...who lived
down below Clanton toward Mitchell dam, and Coosa County. Rght? They
were across the county from where we lived...and I never heard of them
until I did research a few years ago..Goodluck, Stella
