Author Description

Both Granny's mother and father died when Granny was young. On the rearing Of Granny I was always told that Melissie Grandma Johnson took them for a short time and that Ern and Rachel were sent to work with the Pollard's, Granny was sent to Uncle Jim Huffakers and she stayed with them for about a year and 1/2. Then Uncle Sam Johnson which Talmage and my dad were named after had wrote grandma Johnson and said since he and Gertie did not have any girls they would take her they had sent a train ticket for granny to come to ARK and she was to leave at the end of March right after there was no chance of snow. Before the middle of March a letter was received and Gertie had became deathly ill and had passed away. By this time Floyd and Hulda had married and Granny went to stay with them. She and Talmage lived with them for about a year and Granny with her sharp tong smarted to Hulda that her corn bread was not like her mamma's and Hulda threw the skillet of Corn bread at her.
