Lost Run, Aunt Jack and Other Tales

By Sue Cooperrider

A quiet creek called Lost Run that wound its way through Ohio hills, an intimidating great-aunt nicknamed Jack, who stood six foot four inches tall in her stocking feet and a gentle Guernsey family cow called Sugarplum are all part of Sue Cooperrider's rich collection of tales of her heritage and her childhood on an Ohio farm in the 1930s and '40s. A seven-foot tall Yankee Civil War veteran who traveled as a circus giant after the war, and a Rebel Civil War veteran from Virginia who served under Robert E. Lee were two of Sue's great-grandfathers. The Yankee's daughter married the Rebel's son and were one set of her grandparents.Tales of farm life before the family had access to electricity and indoor plumbing, and stories from the days when families commonly had more than ten children -yielding a variety of aunts, uncles and cousins, some ordinary people, others not-make up this collection of short sketches, enlivened by an array of family photographs.
