Reflections: Norval Heskett’s memories
By Evelyn Long - Contributing Columnist
Several months ago I shared some of the interview made with Norval Heskett on his 90th birthday. I want to share more of that interview when he described the history of his ancestors and his experiences.
At the time of his 90th birthday, he lived four miles south of Mount Gilead on State Route 61. Interviewed by the Morrow County Sentinel, Norval said he was born Feb. 22, 1857, north of Bethel in Morrow County. He was a resident of Morrow County his entire life with the exception of seven years when he lived just over the county line north of Centerburg.
