Beverly Hillbillies, didn't Granny say she was from Lee's Summit Missouri, or her friend / relatives were?

I hate it when small tidbits slide past me like that. All I know for sure is the Hillbillies hailed from the hills of Arkansas.  I only know that much because - - **drum roll please** - - I'm from Arkansas.  But I don't have a dog named Duke, don't wear those cool duds nor go huntin fer bubblin' crude. :-)

Supposedly it is.  To this day Kathy and George Lutz still swear that what they said is true. The famous Ed and Lorane Warren investigated it and said it was but others said it was a hoax.  The families that have lived there since the Lutzs' swear they never saw or heard anything in the realm of the abnormal.  So, this one is up for grabs..

Why is it that you know all this information about this person, yet the law enforcement community is not aware of it.  Who was this Sherrif she had an affair with?  Was this recently?...Ronny Dodson, Steve Whitley, Jack McDaniels, or George Jones?  Was it the sherrif himself or one of the Terlingua deputies or constables....Sonny or Oscar? What year did it take place?  Why wasn't the murder/suicide of her husband investigated if the gunshot was to the back of the head?  And the old lady whose arm was broken....why didn't she go to law enforcment over this?  If you have evidence that is unknown to law enforcement, then call the Texas Rangers and tell them what you know. Otherwise, it may not be wise to be making public allegations  against people for such serious crimes....

I don't think so.  Their perspectives seem quite far apart.  But if they are related, family gatherings must be interesting!

I went to Harpeth Hall with Reese Witherspoon in Nashville, TN. I'm bestfriends with her brother John(we call him Spoon) and his wife Jenny(who went to Hillsboro High in Nashville). I also know Shelton Williams(Hank, Jr. III). He went to Franklin High School in Frankin, TN. He is in the 1990 yearbook fighting with Rob Galbreath. No one won because the cops came. My great uncle, Gorden Stoker, was a back up singer for Elvis(the Jordanaires). I have plenty of pictures. I am also related to Amy Grant. She is my cousin by marriage. My mom grew up next door to the Grant's in Nashville and we still see Dr. and Mrs. Grant in Destin,Fl where they have a condo(have pics of our families together). I also know Keith Urban.My good friend Lou, use to live with him when he first came to Nashville and wasn't too famous. I have pictures of us partying at Tootsie's, in downtown Nashville,for Lou's birthday in October of 2003. I know more,but I'm tired of typing. It pays to grow up in Nashville!!

Her real name was Ellen Liddy Watson, but her friends called her Ella, and she was born in Ontario, Canada. Intelligent, gentle, possessed of charming Celtic brogue and a pretty smiling face, she was 6'2" tall and a wonderful cook ! Her parents emigrated to Lebanon, Kansas to homestead. At 18 Ellen married Bill Pickle, a neighbor, who drank too much. He abused Ellen often and, after one particularly brutal beating with a horse whip, Ella ran away and returned to her family's farm. After working as a cook on an adjacent neighbor's farm for awhile, she moved about 15 miles south to the town of Red Cloud, Nebraska where she escaped her husband and again found employment as a cook at the town hotel. After filing for divorce, she went to Denver, then Cheyenne, and then still farther on to the budding town of Rawlins, Wyoming where she again secured employment as a cook at the proper "Rollins House."\n\nSoon she met Jim Averell, a surveyor, who was homesteading 60 miles north on the Sweetwater River. He was articulate, intelligent, well dressed and above all, a gentleman. Ironically he was born not much more than 150 miles from Ella's birthplace. They struck it off immediately. He, too, had been married earlier, but his wife had tragically died in premature childbirth. Ella and Jim fell in love. Jim kept bragging about Sweetwater valley where he had started a road ranch and general store on his homestead. They had discussed marriage, but if they married, Ellen could not homestead too. Only one to a family. But they could marry in secret the way others had done!\n\nThey drove Jim's buggy 100 miles to Lander, where nobody knew them. She carefully substituted Andrews for her maiden name, and they were married by a J.P. Then they drove back to Sweetwater where Ella homesteaded on Horse Creek near Jim's place. Jim snaked in some logs from the mountains and he and a friend helped build her a pretty one room lob cabin sheltered in the cottonwoods.\n\nProblem! A pompous cattle baron named Albert Bothwell irrigated a hay meadow from that very same creek but hadn't figured on anybody filing a 60 acre homestead over the top of it, much less a WOMAN! He thought his control of that open range was absolute and he had also put up over 60 miles of mostly illegal barbed wire fence. He was outraged, and rode the mile over to Ella's cabin and offered to buy her land. She told him she wanted the land much more than the money, and he left angry but empty handed.\n\nElla helped around Jim's store and cooked meals for visitors at $.50 a plate. Everyone said her cooking was fabulous! Ellen was big hearted, too. More than once when another wife came down sick, she cooked and kept house for them until they regained their health. She also foster-mothered a 12 year old waif who ran away from home, and another 16 year old boy, both of whom did the chores around the homestead. Also Jim's sister's son had come out from Wisconsin to visit his uncle and was helping at the store. It seemed everybody liked Ellen and Jim -- Almost everyone!\n\nOne icy day in February a wagon train passed nearby on the Oregon Trail herding 26 head of nearly starved cows and calves. Ella suddenly saw a way into ranching, and bought them at a dollar apiece! Some cowboys helped her drive them home and she fenced in a pasture. Dismayed at Ella's purchase, Bothwell had an absolute conniption fit! He had skull and cross bones pinned to Ella's and Jim's doors. They were not intimidated. Nobody would harm a woman! By summer her cattle were stronger and Ella branded them. But brooding Bothwell had been concocting a deadly plot and now he saw his opportunity!\n\nOn the morning of July 20th, 1889, during the neighbor's joint round-up, Al delayed joining the other cattlemen until Ella had left her place. He then hurriedly sent word to the other cattlemen that Ella had rustled and branded some of their calves! Five very angr

Shortly after the turn of the last century,in the hills of Tennessee,,,2 feuding families,,at odds with each other for a great many years, and finding out that 2 of the young-ins from opposing sides had just secretly got married behind their backs, fought , what would be their last battle. At the end of the lengthy gun battle ,when the sheriff and other folks showed up to see what had happened,,,and finding a great many corpses to sift through,,all related to the Hatfields,,or the opposing McCoys,,but only the eldest still carrying the name of the original family..After trying to identify the bodies for hours,,finally turned over the body of a very old man,,,with no other way to identify him,,called upaun the neighboring hill folk,,,and with one look,,several exclaimed That's the real McCoy!!!   Him being the eldest of the McCoy family, and well known by all around,,the phase caught on and has stuck with us still today.

Okay.  Just add to the details next time, okay?\n\nShe fit the requirements.  Actually she fit both requirements.  She was in her seventies, and she had a mental illness.  62 or over, and disabled.  Everybody deserves to live somewhere.  Where would you suggest the mentally ill live?\n\nI'm sorry about your disability, but I don't think it's right of you to act as though you're "more disabled" than someone with a mental illness (it sounds like you just have very little understanding of mental illness).\n\nShe may "know what she's doing" and she may also be a stalker, but that doesn't mean she understands how wrong it is, and what the consequences are, so it's not like she can be arrested and convicted for it.  It's more likely the management couldn't do much about it than that they "covered it up".\n\nI'm getting your frustration, and if you get any more nudie neighbors, call management, but for now, be happy Old Lady Pullsupskirt is no longer your neighbor.

Anne Richards was certainly a colorful character. I don't think her being a women had much to do with it. I think the residents of Texas are smart enough to know to vote on the person and the record rather than just the gender.

She is not listed in the Abingdon VA (and surrounding area) phone book for 2005-2006.  I live in Abingdon and I just checked the phone book for you.  :)

No it is not her. She was in Oil of Olay commercials and was in the wedding party of Kill Bill. But I will be damned if i can find her name.

I live in the county where it was filmed.. Watauga Co. NC\n\nMary Call was the main character. She was a young girl who raised her family. Her father was sick. She tried to marry off her older sister to Kiser (a guy with a car). She collected herbs and sold them. Her father died. The social worker would come by but Mary Call would never let her "see" her father.  Mary Call did not want her younger siblings to go to a foster home.\n\nIt was a sad but accurate portayal of a dirt poor Appalachian family in the 60's.

Isn't she that crackpot 'psychic' on Montel? Or is this someone with the same name? I'm guessing it's the same. \nEither way - she's a crackpot.
