Welcome To The Potter Flats!
Eastern Ky / Southwest VaGenealogy Of Abraham Potter Family
Dedicated To Our Grandmother
Letha Mae Potter
January 8, 1893 - November 5, 1962Our grandmother lived in a two room log cabin on a moutaintop in Eastern KY in an area called the Potterflats. These mountains she loved and knew so well had been the home of her great-grandparents, grandparents, parents as well as her home. She had no electricity, no running water and the walk to her cabin was long and difficult for a child. The joy, sense of peace and belonging that you found there is something that I have never again enjoyed. My grandmother died when I was twelve years old, but I still feel her, she is loved and missed. Family is what matters and is important. In these pages you will find her family, the family she loved.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
