Caudill The town of Middlesborough near Cumberland Gap in Bell County was built by an English corporation in the 1890s. Among the "furriners" who came there was a Scot from Glasgow. His name was Cro Carr and my grandfather worked as a foreman under his supervision. My grandfather admired and respected him so much that when my father was born on 9 December 1892, he was given the unusual Gaelic name of Cro Carr Caudill. My father lost his left arm in a coal tipple accident during the bitterly cold winter of 1917. In 1925 and again in 1929 he was elected county court clerk of Letcher County as a Democrat, and that at a time when three-fourths of the voters in the county were hard-to-sway Republicans.
