...."My Mother was Ella May Wallace, she married a man who worked for Grandpa as a wage hand or hired hand as some called it. Aunt Lula was a younger sister who told me most of it. In the fall when crops were in and the hands paid off her husband, Pierre Maxey took a wagon and team to Paragould for funiture for they would move out to their own house after the baby comes. On the way back he was robbed and killed and from all evidence thrown in the river. The baby, my sister Blanch, was deliveded by a midwife, Mrs. Holinshead, we called her Granny Holinshead. Mother lived on at home with her child who was about the same age as Little Tuck. The mother must have died about along then for Mother stayed and kept house for them until she maried my Dad."
