- Verna Nadine Mayhan (56 KB)
My Great Grandmother, Verna Nadine Mayhan - My grandmother kept this photo in a beautiful pewter frame on her bedside table and now I have it in my living room. I never got to meet her, but somehow - I knew her. I was at my grandmother's side listening to her end of many of their telephone conversations, listening in as they talked about the weather; heat, rain, huricanes; Neighborhood cats the two of them had taken in, especially one particular tom cat of Verna's, that she was fond of; Family; who was having a baby, getting married, where they were working, who had come to visit her that day. They would remenisce about the early years and still gossiped about Mrs. Gerloff, the lady who had lived next door some 50 years earlier. Verna talked a lot about her youth in the letter's she sent to Gran. Stories of Newport, AR and her childhood, which had been so much different then that of her own children. When I think of her, I think of her as if I had grown up with her right next door like Gran and and I miss her too.

My mother's parents. Though they split up, they never divorced and would often have coffee together. Near the end of her life, Gran talked about "Raymond" often. I don't think I ever heard her say one bad thing about him. Well except that he was a poor businessman. She said he had started a tool and dye company. He went and bought a very expensive payroll machine but only had 2 employees...Hey, he had big dreams!

I never really knew my uncle Wain. He had disappeared in 1965 and when my mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1998, she asked me to help her find him. I wrote a letter to Social Security and within a few months I brought my mom to see him. He too was ill and in the hospital - We spent the day with him - the two of them reminisced laughed and cried. It was bittersweet but much needed. Wain passed away last year - God Bless Him

The back of this picture reads: "Mary Niles Medley - This picture was taken about 1925 in Fisher County, Texas. We moved to Dawson County in 1928. (she) passed away in 1934 at the farm where we lived NE of Lamesa."
The picture was given to me by Julia J. Houston-Simpson. Of all of my old pictures, this one is my very favorite. She was born in 1844 and died at the age of 90. She loved Coca Cola and like to tell ghost stories! Gran told me that she was living in Los Angeles when "Mamie" as she was affectionately called, appeared at the foot of her bed. Gran knew something must be wrong and then she got a letter a few days later from her mother telling her Mamie had died. Gran was convinced she had come to say goodbye. Gran believed she and her mother were psychic! I've always been very facsinated with "Mamie" and have often hoped she would come to the foot of my bed!

- "Gran" (9 KB)
My grandmother, Mildred Rogers - This is how I remember her. This picture was taken outside the Coach Light motel where she was a maid in Hemet, CA. My mom worked as a waitress at Curly & Alice's Cafe. They pulled their money together and got us raised. After we moved to Palo Alto, mom wanted her independence so Gran took an apartment...NEXT DOORS! Both mom and Gran were hard workers and very clean - Gran would always say "cleanliness is next to Godliness" - Our home was always spotless - Even after she moved next doors she would come and take care of the house for mom. They were very close and I loved to sit and listen to them talk. When gran passed away, mom locked herself in her room for three days and cried. When my mom died I finally understood why.

Grandaddy Taylor was born in Atlanta. He worked for the railroad. He would go back and forth between Atlanta and Birmingham and it was on one of these trips that he met his beloved Flora. They spent their lives traveling moving from town to town by train. Following is a little story that his granddaughter, Janie Melissa Blackman-Tolen told me: "Grandaddy told a story of how their furniture was suppose to arrive by train on this particular day and he had said to Grandma (Flora) that they needed to go and find an apartment. Grandma told Grandaddy, "just keep our furniture on the train, I dont believe I want to live here. And so I guess they moved on. Whatever she wanted Grandaddy was agreeable to. I believe they were a very happy married couple."
