Memories of a Long Life                                            3

the children.  He came twice a week for years, and would spend the night in Pittsboro and go back what was called the upper Raleigh road.  Happy, happy days, never to be forgotten!  Mr. Foushee died some years ago in our neighborhood, and I often think these days how pleasant he was and so cheerful.  After a railroad was run to Pittsboro there was no more of the stage coach, nor did we ever hear the horn blow.  Mr. Foushee lived in our part of the country, with his wife and four children, two sons and two daughters.  I taught a school near, not a public school, just a neighborhood school.  His children, or some of them, went; I visited his family and they all treated me well.  His wife, I thought, was a true, good woman.  She died soon after I left for a school in another part of the state, so I never saw him again.  But I often wondered if when all his traveling and work here was ended was he ready and could hear the roll call up yonder and could he answer as cheerfully as he once blew for us little children?  I hope he did.  Both his sons died before he did.
