Notes - Ausburn was in the timber business and used oxen to log with. He never finished a yoke he was making for his oxen because he got sick and died. The yoke was being whittled out of wood.
Notes from William Shepard, Jr.
Ausburn and Edmund, sons of Ezra hayes lived side by side on farms described in Ezra’s obituary. I knew Edmund, who died in 1944 as “Uncle Ed” who he was to my mother Rachel Ann. When Ezra’s first wife died in 1899 he remarried to Hanna Elizabeth Toothman, my mother Rachel was named after her grandmother Rachel George and took the nickname Hannah as a mark of affection for her grandfather’s second wife. My father always referred to her as Hannah or Dick and I never heard him call her Rachel. I spent many of my vacations in the area of Virginia, later West Virginia, in the location of Ezra Engle, Ausburn, Edmund homes in Jacksonburg area.
