Interview Summary

Laura Begley was born at Wooton and attended her one-room school through the sixth grade, at which point she left school to take care of her mother, who was ill. Begley's uncle was Garrett Begley, an herb doctor who practiced in the area. After she was married, her family visited the FNS nurses at the Confluence Center. Some of her children were delivered by "granny women' and the later ones by the FNS. Begley also talks about moving from Dryhill to Hyden in a boat due to flood tides. She first saw Hyden at the age of eighteen and first visited a neighboring county at the age of twenty.
