Fond memories of Node and Seven Springs area, Metcalfe Co., KY

Pilot Knob in North Metcalfe is a magical place, less than 30 miles from Columbia, KY, but not so well known here. It's well worth the side trip from Sulphur Well, KY, when one attends to Country Ham cravings at that Destination City. Pilot Knob, the Thompson monument, The Cut, and the Latter Day Saints church are just a few of unique sites so close at hand on a day trip to Sulphur Well. Gary Lane, Center Grade School, Greensburg High School, Lindsey Wilson College, and Berea and Purdue University graduate and native of the territory, has fond memories of one neighborhood in the area, and of the wonderful proprietor who knew how to give a kid his nickel's worth.
About: Ione Stapp was a wonderful woman

By Dr. Gary Lane

Ione Stapp ran the store at Node for many years while I was growing up in that area.

She was a wonderful person, always had a smile and a pleasant something to say.



I spent many years going to church at Seven Springs Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Many of the fond memories of Node and Seven Springs revolve around Ione. If you did not have much money to spend she might cut your nickel's worth of pickle bologna a little larger than normal or include a few extra crackers.

Many times I have stopped at the store to get a coke or candy bar and always Ione had some nice comment to make.

Wonderful memories from some very wonderful people in the heart of the soul of Kentucky.
