Price Theater Floyd County

Price is located on Left Beaver Creek between Martin and McDowell. The last time I drove out that way the old theatre was still there. I would like to hear any comments from someone who actually watched a movie here when the theatre was still open.

Verna Mae Slone

Verna Mae Slone Verna Mae is the daughter of Isom B Slone (nickname Kitteneye). Verna Mae is the author of What My Heart Wants to Tell

Verna Mae Slone"God knew that it would take brave and sturdy people to survive in these beautiful but rugged hills. So He sent us His very strongest men and women." So begins the heartwarming story of Verna Mae and her father, Isom B. "Kitteneye" Slone, an extradordinay personal family history set in the hills around Caney Creek in Knott County, Kentucky.

Verna Mae Slone lived her life in and around the town of Pippa Passes, Kentucky. She is also the author of Rennie's Way.

Many lies and half-truths have been written about the mountain people, but we know God sent his very strongest men and women here who could enjoy life and search out the few pleasures contained in a life of hard work. I wrote my book, "What My Heart Wants to Know," because I wanted my granchildren to be proud of their heritage. Now, surprisingly, my book is in its fifth printing.  (Verna Mae Slone)
