From 1935 to 1980, the Van Sant family lived at Mt. Victory, a small rural community in the eastern part of Pulaski County, Kentucky. There was a Post Office, two general stores, a Doctor, two churches, and elementary and high school. Small farms and homes were scattered over the country side.
The high school drew students from several surrounding communities: Poplarville, Goodwater, Hale, Acorn and others. Many students walked as much as 5 miles to and from school and several of them rode mules or horses to school. Our big old barn was a choice place to board a steed for a day. Vola Vaughn Sears and his sister, Elva rode a striking sleek high-stepping horse from Hale. Elva sat side ways behind Vola Vaughn. He would make the horse fly and Elva just sat there, held on, and smiled.
A few years later, (early 40's) Daddy fixed up a panel truck with seats and that was the Mt. Victory School bus!
