Kentucky Color: Leatherwood Watershed By Billy Joe Fudge My Dad, James Ordell Fudge was born at Toria and grew up on upper England Branch. Upper England Branch is located about halfway between Leatherwood Creek and Red Lick Creek. Leatherwood Creek begins at a spring a couple hundred feet from HWY 61 in Downtown Sparksville and empties into East Fork of Little Barren River just North of HWY 80 across from Mosby Ridge Road in Metcalfe County. Red Lick Creek begins at a spring just west of the intersection of Bear Track Lane and Chestnut Grove Road and empties into East Fork of Little Barren River between the Mosby Ridge Bridge and HWY 80 in Metcalfe County. This put Dad right in the middle of thousands and thousands of acres of forested land and probably forty plus miles of creeks. So it goes without saying that he grew up hunting and trapping to both put meat on the family table and extra money to help with the family's expenses. There are many stories he told about those days which I cherish! I remember him telling about a morning wake up call, turned reality check, from his Dad, my Pa Abb. Pa Abb, "Ordell...get up you are gonna be late. Dad had been helping a neighbor cut firewood for a dollar a day and in the typical 15 year old tone of voice replied, "I'm not go'n to work today!" Pa Abb, "Are you sick?" Dad, "No...I'm quit'n work." Pa Abb, "Why?" Dad, "I'm work'n for a dollar a day and I killed a Red Fox last night which'll bring me five dollars." Pa Abb, "So, why you quit'n work?" Dad, "I can make more money hunt'n and trap'n!" Pa Abb, "Get up and go to work! N-O-W!" This story was posted on 2024-11-01 08:09:36
