MY MOTHER

.....was a caring, wonderful person. She was born in May on the 20th. day in 1907. She and her twin was born at home, on "Rock Hill" in Lamar County. Uncle Claude Emmitt died at the age of three months. Mother always felt as if a part of her was missing. She attended school at Fords Academy School. I have a picture taken in 1917 of the school children and Maudie was standing on the end in the second row.
She married Johnny in November 1926 and moved with him to west Texas where two of their four children was born. Back in Lamar County in the early thirtys, they raised their 4 children to adulthood.
Maudie was a very much loved person, loved by every one who knew her. She loved to write, she penned poems, and many of her thoughts and prayers.
She is gone now, but never forgotten. Two of her loving children and Johnny are with her, leaving Jean, me, her grandchildren and the other family members to mourn her. God Bless you Mother.
