About the Author

Debbie Boyce, editor and compiler of the Capon Notes, is a lifelong resident of Hampshire County, W. Va., and has lived in Yellow Spring since 1970. Her first encounter with Yellow Spring living involved an outhouse, carrying water from the spring and a wood cook stove in the kitchen. More significant than these economic factors, she was impressed with the caring, connected essence of the neighborhood. Long intrigued with Yellow Spring area history, she began researching in earnest when both of her children went off to college. While this is her first professionally published project, she has plans to publish a book on local obituaries, family photos and other local information.
