Gradyville Flood: Ottillia Scott Bell Credited With Saving Lives This article first appeared in issue 14, and was written by Geniece Leftwich Marcum. By Geniece Leftwich Marcum as told to her daughter Linda I remember hearing all my growing up years about my Great Aunt Ott who had been credited by witnesses as having saved lives the night of the 1907 Gradyville flood. Great Aunt Ott (short for Ottilia) was a sister to my father's mother, Caroline Isabelle Scott, wife of John Robert Leftwich. The sisters were among the children of Robert Winfield Scott of Metcalfe County. Aunt Ott married Clayton Bell and they lived in Gradyville, a thriving community in the western edge of Adair County, about fifteen miles east of Edmonton where Walter Scott and Addie Turner Leftwich raised me.

Dr. L.C. Nell house/Diddle house distinctions remembered Writer remembers her grandmother's home there. It was her own home after she married. She recalls the small ways the Nell and Diddle Houses differed, and spots clues which distinguishes the Nell home. She remembers the placement of the outbuildings at the Nell Home. She wants to contact the Scott Bros. to acquire part of it. "The smaller outbuilding at the back of the house was the smokehouse and there have been some of the best country hams in the land cured there. Believe me, I remember that!!" - PHYLLIS WRIGHT TUCKER By Phyllis Elaine Wright Tucker I have a very special interest in this house and was very sad to learn that it is being torn down, though I can understand why. My own grandmother, Cora Rogers Wright Coomer, lived in this house from the early 1940s or earlier until the early 1980s, so it was like a second home for me all the time I was growing up and even afterwards. 2007-01-29 04:48:16 | Comments | Printable version
