Sunday School was always special for me.

As a very small child, at West Liberty, KY I remember my brother Philip helping me get ready for Sunday School. It was at the Christian Church. Gene was assistant County Agent for Morgan County when Russell was about 2 1/2 years old, we attended the Christian Church there. We didn't have any opportunity to attend church at the Neal Howard's Creek home or when we were in Wayne County at Grandma Jones' big house on the Cumberland River. When we moved to Mt. Victory in March of 1935, there was a Presbyterian church close by. Mr David Jones would go early and ring the church bell a few minutes before time for Sunday School to begin. Daddy took me. We walked and he would tell me to hold on to his finger when we walked beside the road. I usually had a nickel to put in the offering. Some children carried a handkerchief and they would tie their nickel into the corner of the handkerchief so it wouldn't get lost.
