Notes for Willie Frances Brodnax:
Willie Frances Seay was a graduate of Rogersville Synodical College specializing in voice.Her home and family were her primary concerns, but she, as well as her husband, felt a deep responsibility for the health and welfare of their tenants, often doctoring their injuries with her own hands and prescribing for common childhood illnesses.
At Christmas time a high point for the Seay children was delivering sacks of good things to each tenant house.In later years, there was a Christmas tree "up at the house" for the children on the farm.
Mrs. Seay gave unswerving loyalty to her church, the South, and the Democratic Party.
