This is the home that Zolpha Mozley built for his wife and 13 living children. It was located in Nixon Chapel, Marshall Co., AL. It was built from heart pine wood. The older boys helped to build the house, including my grandfather. The house passed from the hands of the Mozleys when Ada died in 1943. The house burned to the ground in about 1986. It was here that some of the Mozley boys nailed Oscar Prichard to the front porch in his new clothes. Oscar was a little slow and got in everyone's way, annoying them. He got tired and lay down on the porch to take a nap instead of helping as he was supposed to, so some of the older boys just nailed him in place. Zolpha did not take kindly to that, to say the least. Oscar was the nephew of James Prichard, husband of Lucinda Helen Self Mozley Prichard.
