Personal letter about Rudolph "Rudy" Hall to Louetta Hall.
Louetta,
Th1 · ts a note for you personally- I don't remember any dates or years, but these are a few
mctdents I remember growing up with Rudolph and his family.
We lived across the creek and across the railroad tracks. He lived in a big company house whtch
usually two families shared- but they had the whole house. I remember Rudy 's grandfather was
called Mr. Doc. Anderson. I'm sure "Doc" was a nickname. His wife, we called Mrs. Annie Doc.
As a child, that's the way we referred to all of our elders. Upon a hill there was a shed of some
kind, that I remember. It was a place were they had a cow named Jersey. I really don't remember
the cow, but two incidents regarding Jersey. There was a dogwood tree that was disfigured
(branches twisted) and Jersey was responsible for doing that, eating from it, before being run
away. It was on Mrs. Delphia and Mr. Carl Bragg's property. The other incident was once Mama
sent me up to the shed to get some flower dirt, because horse and cow manure made the dirt richer.
Mrs. Annie saw me up there getting it, and she made me put it back, because she said her Jersey
left it for her. So I went home without the dirt. My mom just respected her decision.
Rudolph 's grandparents' house was between Mr. John Lester Jolly and Mrs. Myrtle (Mrs. Mirt,
Mrs. Mirt Jolly) as she was affectionately called. They lived on the lower end of the lot and on the
upper end was the Ransons. The Ransons were the relatives of Barbara Hortons, her
grandparents. I can remember going by Rudolph 's 'em house and hearing him playing the piano,
but I haven't the faintest idea who taught him.
I remember Patty -..cr} \\ell Both she and Rudy . tayed with their grandparents. I don't think
Poochtc Ch.uk.; and \\'llham 'ta}ed \\.lth ~r Annie untll after Rudolph and Patty had left. Then I
thmJ... P<.XX'Illc (Ciurk-.l .md \\ llham came to ll\e with her. They called the area where the
\nc.icr:-<.)th II\ cd "Red Ro'" ··The lone hved in "Trot"- short for Possum Trot.
n \\1 h ·re fore 1 entered the th grade ( l 5
1 jon 't rememl r ''hen, 1r I
And r n
tiled !lr. Ed. \Vtb n. 1r. Ed \\Us the t01thcr of K.uhlccn Rclcfc. rd. nd Domthy llonon ( he"·
marrted to ~cd Horton) Their mother""~'~ named Mr-.. Lih- probably ... hort to~ Eli:t.abcth. Mr ·
~ ·hot. htm I heard_Mrs. Anme say 'No one satd anything about Mr. Doc bct~g s~abbcd .wath an
IC~ ptck. Plus. she satd, they were Lodge brothers, so why would he want to kill has lodge
brother. .. Anyways I ~now he was convicted and sent to prison, and she had it r~ugher tha~
ever. I remember Donme and Jeter staying with he r when Mr. Rich just came to Kangsport w1th
Mrs. Lucille.
I don't remember when Mrs. Annie moved to Esserville, but I remember her house was among the
first ones torn down when the company started selling the houses and tearing them down for
lumber. I don't remember when I last saw Mrs. Annie or Mr. Doc. I left for college in 1960 and
never came back except for a week or so. Charles and William went in the name of ~rockett ..
William and I were in the same grade for a number of years. I think he may have qmt school m. the
9th grade. I don't think I remember him in the lOth grade. Poochie was older than me, but I thmk
he and Poochie quit about the same time, or it could have been that's when they moved to
Esserville and went to another school. I just don't remember. This would have been 1956, 1957.
So with what happened to his Mom in 1975. Coupled with his grandparents and the poverty. No
one knows how it mig ht have affected his soul (psychic) plus the way he came up made him want
to help you raise the four children. For he knew what it was like to be without. Plus, to imagine
that everyone was thinking evil about him and the family, because of all the public sins that were
out in the open. I just remember once, after tvfary Cathy and I were married and we were visiting,
he hared with me, "Well. I'm \\-hat )OU call a recluse. I don't go out very much, I golf and go to
work and sometimes I go to church. but b.1~1cally I'm JUSt a homebody." So I accepted him as he
was He always ~1sk.ed about ~.mnie. and Ben and Wilhelmma at different times, but Ben he
always brought up
