In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Mahala and her husband, Carl Birchfield, homesteaded land near Roswell, New Mexico. They lived there long enough to finish the claim and to own it. Mahala became pregnant with Rosemary and because the land was so hard to farm and the nearest running water was in Roswell, 50 miles away, they decided to move to Alabama to work for the Birmingham Water Works Company. Carl's father, J. D. Birchfield, owned some stock in the company. He told his son if they would come back to Alabama, he would get him a position. Carl was from Clay County, Alabama and went out west after World War I to work in the oil fields. This is where Mahala and Carl met.

After the death of her husband, Mahala began teaching school at the old Indian Head school building. She taught the first grade for about 18 years. She taught about 8-10 of those years at the new building.

At the time of her death, Mahala was in the Cordova Health Care home for one month. The health care home is located on the site of the old Indian Head School. She died on the spot where she spent so many of her years teaching.

Notes for JOHN CARL BIRCHFIELD:
Carl Birchfield worked as a telegraph operator as a young man and when he entered the Army during World War I, he served in the Signal Corps as a telegraph operator. After the war, Carl went to Texas and worked in the oil fields. He marrie Mahala Ground, and after a couple of years, they moved to New Mexico to homestead land.
