"Before President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, when the WPA crews built us a dirt road, the only way a car could reach Head Of Grassy was to drive up the creek. Through the water. Grassy Creek usually's not too deep," she said. The Stampers and the other 175 residents of their e long community know that lowlanders judge them curious. "One of my boys, he was in the Air Force, and when he got his letters from home, all the others used to kid him about getting mail from a place called Head Of Grassy," she said. The community got its name because it was at the head of Grassy Creek, where Stamper opened the area's post office. He started it Nov. 19, 1878 99 years ago by setting out an empty nail l eg for collecting letters. "One day, a Post Office inspector rode his horse in and began telling about all the rules of how to sort mail and keep records and fill out forms and when he was done, told him that if he didn't like it, he could just take the nail keg and ride away," P'aul Stamper said.
