Notes for Mary Elizabeth Heidle: Mary Elizabeth Heidle, living in Georgia, wrote to her twin brother, John Carey Heidle in Texas, and told him they had been spelling their names wrong- that it should be "Heidle" instead of "Hidle." John Carey got mad at his sister and wouldn't communicate with her for a long time. All the Texas Heidles now spell it "Heidle." --according to Sallie Belle Heidle, wife of John Carey Heidle's son Phillip Houston Heidle of Canton, Texas.
Mary "Ellie" and her sister Emma, who traveled from Texas, attended a family reunion at the home of their first cousin Martha Lavinia Britt in 1922.
