From "A Hitch Orchard" by Daisy Hitch Davies, 1931: The unusual name of "Chelcarra" is a combination of the last syllable of Rachel and Carra, both of these names being desired for this child. In 1930, she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. All those years they have lived in the same place and have never had a death in their family. I had the pleasure of visiting with this couple during the summer of 1931. They reside on a farm.
