The memories are from relatives, old friends who lived near and people who were from as far away as Kansas. Part of these memories are Miss Flora's own recollections, in her own words, thanks to a tape made and loaned to us by Artis Caudle of High Point, North Carolina. She made the tape in 1969 on a visit to Miss Flora's home. Miss Flora Camana DeHart was born in 1889 to Jeff and Malinda Graham DeHart. She had four sisters - Lizzie (who was wife to Ed Mabry of Mabry Mill), Sis, Orie, Addie and one brother, Green DeHart. She grew up in a hollow across what is now the Blue Ridge Parkway, from what is now Mabry Mill, in a log cabin. Her father, Jeff DeHart, was a Civil War veteran.
