Charity Junction

Ebbie Catharine is twelve years and growing up during the Great Depression in the southern town of Charity Junction. This is her story......

May 1, To the world, I am Ebbie Catherine Sullivan.  I dont know if anyone will ever read this but still, I am going to write and hope my words will one day reach the world.  I was born in 1927 in a place called Charity Junction.  Its just a spit on the map, not bigger than a gnats butt.  The “spit on the map” is located in southern Alabama, not all that far from a place called Montgomery. Those who dont hail from the South will probably not understand that term, but as the old saying goes:  “it aint very big”.  As a matter of fact, Charity Junction boasts a population of 600 people and that includes the dead and the living, 1939 them thats alive and them thats a “resting” or “turning fitfully” in the graves at Pine Mountain Cemetery and Charity Junction Resting Place.
