Notes for CORPORAL SIDNEY ALLISON MALONE, SR.:
Following are two unedited letters which Sid wrote to his wife, Grace, while serving in World War 2.

Dear Gracie,
      I'll just exlain this drawing and call it a letter. [ A sketch was drawn on the back of the letter which depicted his living quarters.] This is an interior view of our tent. that's me sitting on the box and Evans at the table writing a letter. Those aren't wisky bottles on the table. one is hair tonic and the other is lighter fluid. It is pretty crude I guess but it is just exactly like our tent looks. That's my cot I'm sitting next to. It has a mosquito net over it. That's a picture of Evans girl on the table.
      Darling this isn't much of a letter but thats no reason I love you any the less. I don't think there is even a minute goes by that I don't think of my darling and I love you so very much my sweet
      your very own
      Sid
P.S. Don Osborne drew the picture.
Cpl. Sidney A. Malone

Aboard U.S.S. Kerney                        January 15, 1946
My darling Gracie
      I guess this is one of those notes like I used to write to you when I was at work at Childersburg-I'll probably deliver this letter to you in person. We came aboard this ship Jan. 11 and have been waiting here in the harbor at Sasebo [spelling? handwriting difficult to read] sense then to get aboard to take to the states. All the marines aboard the ship have S.P. duty-that the same as an M.P. only in the navy. I'm on duty now and it seemed such a pity to waste all this time and not make some effort to tell you in some way how much I love you. I haven't missed but a few days sinse we were married to tell you either by letter or otherwise and I'm kinda lost without writing to you.
      Grace since I last wrote you I've though of a thousand things I should have written in that last letter. But I was so excited and in a hurry that I was most crazy.
      We are due to sail this afternoon or tomorrow-we should get to the states around the 1st of Feb. Grace since its finally come and I'm really coming home-it just don't seem real. It's been such a long time and darling I've missed you so much and I've loved you ever minute sinse I first met you.
      Honey now we can really do all those things we've planned for so long and Grace I'm going to love you so Good.
      I love you with all my heart-darling
            Your Sid

      Sidney Allison Malone, Sr. ("Sid") was born October 9, 1916 in DeKalb Co., AL. He was the eighth child of Judge George Lee Malone and Ada Baxter. He and his brother, Jack, spent some time running a dairy, but most of the time, Sid was a millwright. As a millwright, he went to large power houses such as paper mills and hydroelectric dams and installed machinery. This was a highly skilled, highly paid construction job.
      When cotton was in season, Sid would help his brothers-in-law, Charles and Ray Hughes at their cotton gin. During peak times, 20 hour work days were required, and Sid would help them with the machinery.
      A man once accused Charles of grading his cotton too low. Sid overheard the accusation and countered that Charles was as honest as any man in DeKalb County. The man's temper flared, and with colorful language claimed that Charles was a crook. He had no more than gotten the words out of his mouth but what Sid, known to be a gentleman of peaceful demeanor, had grabbed him and thrown him off the building's porch. As the man landed on his posterior, Sid told him to never come back.
      Sid married Grace Elizabeth Hughes (daughter of David Beam Hughes and Mary Elizabeth McNaron) on June 8, 1941, in Rising Fawn, GA. They lived happily together until his death , and Grace said that during their entire marriage, they never had so much as an argument. His love letters, written while he was in the war, are a depiction of the type of loving relationship the two of them had. Two of these letters are transcribed on this website.
      From their union were born two sons. Sidney Allison Malone, Jr. ("Al") was born on November 21, 1946 in Fort Payne, DeKalb Co., AL. He married Jane Whaley on February 29, 1964, and had one child by her, Karen Allison. Al and Jane eventually divorced, and he married Judy Edmondson. He and Judy had a son, Sidney Allison III ("Sam") and a daughter, Anna. Sid and Grace's second son, Beam Hughes, was born July 18,1951, in Fort Payne, DeKalb Co., AL. He married Vonda Carole Keith on August 26, 1970 in Trenton, GA. The two of them had two daughters. The eldest, Hayley Keith, was born on November 5, 1971, in Fort Payne, DeKalb Co., AL. She is unmarried. Their youngest, Awdrey Hughes, was born on September 27, 1976, in Fort Payne, DeKalb Co., AL. She married Warren Andrew Hamilton on January 1, 1996. Warren and Awdrey had their first child, Alexander Warren ("Alex") on May 19, 1996, and their second child, Allison Hughes, on April 11, 1999. Both children were born in Gadsden, Etowah Co., AL. Beam and Vonda eventually divorced, and Beam married Shelby Jane Talley. They have no children together, but Beam aquired three step-children: Huey, Melinda, and Jonathan as well as three step-grandchildren: Tabitha, Joshua, and Jonathan.
      Sid died from a heart attack at the age of 46 on October 7, 1963, in Kingston, TN. He was there on a work assignment.
