Well, here it is. The cabin we have all been talking about, around Owensville IN.

These pictures were given to me recently by my dad, Doyal Gudgel. Please read his brief Cabin note that he wrote to the Gudgel mail list regarding these pictures.
If this is all true, (and I don't see why it shouldn't be), then the old cabin picture takes on an even more special meaning to me because the woman sitting in front of the cabin is my Great Great Great Grandmother, Lucy Thurman Gudgel, William Gudgel's wife. William is Old Andrew Gudgel's youngest (17th) kid.



Compare this to a picture taken in (I think) the 1950's of the cabin, many years after time and weather had taken it's toll on the old home that many of us have a relation to as well.



Wow! I can just here the wind whistling the old stories of Andrew and the Indians dancing around him! Awesome and eerie at the same time.

The old picture with My GGG Grandmother Lucy Thurman sitting in front was given to Doyal Gudgel several years ago by Walter Harris which was (I think) one of William and Lucy Thurman Gudgel's nephews.
The newer picture of the cabin was given to dad (he seems to remember), from an old woman near Owensville, (possibly a relative), that was going to have some scouts do something with the logs, then she died and now we don't know where the logs are.
Please, if you have any corrections or additions about the cabin, let us know via the Gudgel mail list. Back to the GUDGEL home web page
