Mrs. Harley Misson serves generous wedges of her unique Potato and Bacon Pie, a dish which her guests find equally delicious hot or cold. Ellen Misson’s cooking INSPIres warm memories Tales of Ellen Misson’s home cooking have reached such legendary proportions that there are young boys grown to manhood who still insist they’ve never tasted food as good as hers. While her four sons were growing up—one of whom is Kingston Township tax collector, Vern Pritchard—Mrs. Misson’s home was the hub of all neighborhood activities, and an important part of the fun there was the food she served. Mrs. Misson recalls that her doors were never locked when she was raising her family in Shavertown. One youngster, she remembers, would come in, help himself from the always- full cookie jar, and fall asleep contentedly on her sofa. Still another little fellow com- mandeered two bunches of just purchased bananas and a basket of strawberries from Mrs. Misson’s kitchen and assumed a hero’s status among the neighborhood kids when he graciously passed the fruit around. Although her sons and her sons’ friends are grown now, Ellen Pritchard Misson—she married Harley Misson in 1942, four years after her first husband died—is fondly remembered by all of ‘her” many boys. (Many Back Mountain men have good reason to hold her husband, Harlev. in high esteem as well— during World War II he wrote weekly letters to each of the Dallas area servicemen stationed overseas, tucking a stick of gum inside each en- velope as a touching remem- brance from their home town). The Missons’ gentle charm and hospitality extends to the present time, and Mrs. Misson comments that they are rarely home alone over the weekends. Generally, Mrs. Misson says, a niece will bring a friend along to spend Saturday and Sunday or any of their truly “grand” total of 17 grandchildren and six great grandchildren may pop in for a visit. We suspect their visitors enjoy the warmth which flows from the Missons’ hearts even more than the delicious food that comes from their kitchen!
