My father and mother were married August 31, 1905. They lived on a farm
     south of Isabel for a time and it was there my oldest brother, Orville, was
     born. My brother Ora was born on a farm north of Isabel two years later.
          My parents and my two oldest brothers moved to the Nashville area where
     my brothers Harold and Daryl, my sister Opal, and I were born. My memories
     of my childhood are of living on "the corner" just west of Nashville. Having
     both sets of grandparents and cousins living close by made for a very happy
     growing up time.
          Part of the family moved back to the Isabel area in 1933. We lived on a
     farm southeast of Isabel. Daryl, Opal and I graduated from Isabel High School.
     Mother was a charter member of the Snowflake Club and my father belonged to
     the Odd Fellow Lodge.
          My parents were gentle hard working people who overcame adverse conditions
     and did an excellent job of providing for and raising a large family.
          My father died in November, 1952, and mother in December of 1959. They
     and my brother Ora are buried at the Isabel Cemetery. My brother Orville and
     sister Opal are also deceased. My brother Harold and his wife live in Seal 
     Beach, California and Daryl and Joyce (Coss) live in North Carolina.
