Hattie Belle--Mother of Reba Jean Lunsford Phelps-- Wife of William Perry Lunsford--Daughter of James Monroe Morton and Cannie Elizabeth Blackwell-Granddaughter of Vincent Lea Morton and Isabella Oliver--Gr-Grandaughter of Elijah Morton and Mary(Polly)Lea. I know for certain one thing my grandmother is doing on the heavenly shores right now--"FISHING"--Something she loved to do here on earth.--She could give you the "dickens" and then make you smile with her "cackling" laugh-- She also made the best Chicken & Dumplings you ever ate--It has been said that she couldn't throw out the dishwater without hitting my father(her son-in-law) as he would be trying to "sneak" a piece of her "famous" Lemon Icebox Pie.--She had a fantastic memory and spent many hours telling me names,stories & events about our family history and gave me a great start on my geneaology research and never tired of talking to me about it.--Her line's in the water and she's watching that cork right now!!! |
