C. T. Suddeth

My grandfather, Lawrence Suddeth, moved when he was five (1888) to a farm between Henryville and Marysville, Indiana. In 1890, the next-door neighbors had a son born, Harland Sanders. He played with Grandpa’s younger brother, Charley. Harland’s father died young, his mother working in a cannery. Harland learned to cook for his 2 younger siblings. Years later, he opened a restaurant in Corbin Kentucky: Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Colonel Sanders could well have called it Hoosier Fried Chicken Captain Sanders? If my family taught him how to cook: Suddeth Fried Chicken. [On the farm, my great granny was Cherokee, my great-great granny Shawnee: Cherokee Shawnee Fried Chicken? Chief Sanders Fried Chicken?
