Description
Carlton Hursey was born and raised on a farm in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. After military service during World War I he married a lass from two hollows over. The couple settled in nearby Coshocton and started a family. In his spare time Carl was a happy fiddler and band leader, but he was devastated when his beloved young wife died. His health soon failed and his family of five bright, boisterous children was separated. He lived most of the rest of his life in veteransÕ hospitals. Years after his death and the eventual passing of his three older children, the two youngest, who had been raised in an orphanage, discovered among their siblingsÕ papers a small gray box that contained a cache of his diaries, journals and letters, some dating from when he was courting their mother. They decided that these papers might help them discover who this mysterious stranger, their father, was. This remarkable, family-oriented biography is the result of that quest.
