Dillehay.  He was a farmer and a member of the Hermitage Springs Church of Christ.  Connie lived through the Hay Days of Red Boiling Springs and could tell many stories about what life was like in those days.  His mind was still clear as a bell at the age of 99.  He never forgot anyone that he ever met and you would learn something new from him every time you talked to him.  Someone should have written a book about the trials and experiences of this man’s life.
