Did you know?
Mr. George W. Goodrich (1882-1949), grandfather of Norma Goodrich Roach, delivered bottled milk to residents of Dendron. The barn in which he housed his cows is still standing. While Mr. Goodrich milked the cows, his wife Cornelia Neal Whitmore Goodrich (1883-1964), washed and sterilized the bottles. After the milk was strained through cheesecloth, it was bottled and capped with cardboard caps. Then Mr. Goodrich would drive his small one-seated vehicle and his daughter Frances would deliver the bottles of milk to the residents. A quart sold for ten cents and a pint for five cents. One customer wanted only a half pint but refused to pay three cents because it was more than half the cost of a pint!
Another service offered by Mr. Goodrich: He raked leaves in the yards of people in town free of charge. He used the leaves for bedding in the stalls for his cows.
Norma Goodrich Roach:
I grew up in Dendron and always looked forward to Visiting my "Aunt Estelle." She was sister to Floyd C. Joyner (1903-1982), who lived next door to Guy and Mary Ingram. "Aunt Estelle. " (1900-1982) as she was affectionately called, made clothes for me as well as clothes for my dolls. The thing I remember most about my visits was to make sure I was there when it was time for her to start dinner because I knew she usual ( made homemade biscuits). I liked watching her do this and she always saved me some ofthe dough. (I loved this almost as much as the hot biscuits.) At dinner she would let me have a small amoun tof hot coffee so I could drop apiece of that good old sharp cheese in it to melt, and then I would spoon it onto my biscuit.
My Dendron memories include taffy pulls at Cloteal Slade's(/907-1971) home; scavenger hunts, good times at the Town Hall (too many to memion individually); the school band; the school operettas; and ice cream socials at the Methodist Church. I remember making mud pies and pokeberry juice with my friends Alice, Judy,and Linda, and going to Burt's Store to buy 25 cents worth of pickle and pimiento Loaf (myfilvorite). I especially remember the extra large playhouse built by my father, George Willard Goodrich (1914 - 1995). Regretfully there is not enough space for me to elaborate on all the wonderful memories I have of growing up in Dendron and the many special people I remember and think of often.
