    3. Beth,you're correct. Kay GRANT is the daughter of Lamar and Pauline GROCE. Lamar is the youngest of 10 kids born to William F. and Mary Roxanna (ROGERS) GROCE. There comes in the connection with Hettie Nell HORN. Her daddy was brother to Roxanna. Haley GROCE is the daughter of Roger and Faye (no longer married). Roger is brother to Kay GRANT. You're correct about the strong teaching genes! When I was in the hospital off and on for about 10 weeks when Beth (my daughter) was 2, Wayne's dad taught Beth her alphabet and numbers 1-10! She was reading by age 4, and would read my biology books when I was in college at UAM. And, of course, Wayne has been in teaching all these years.

Those with educations did, and we would still if students valued vocabulary today. Statistics show that every generation has 25% less vocabulary than the preceding one.

    3. and all the >GROCEs (siblings of Albert at least) were teachers. NOTE: I might add to this note that Kay Groce Grant, a good friend of mine, and next-door to me at Drew Central, is also a teacher. If I'm not mistaken, she is the niece of all these Groce women.....could just be a cousin..speak up and correct me if I am wrong, Karen. Mrs. Hettie Nell Rogers Horn is some sort of cousin, too, and once taught. Also, Mary Jo Barnett is another teacher cousin. In addition, Hettie Nell's daughter, Sarah, taught for years, and her son, Roger, is a professor at TX. A&M unless I am mistaken (I know he teaches somewhere in agriculture in Texas). Haley Groce (?), Kay's niece, substitues for us regularly and is a certified music teacher. In essence, that Groce blood must have made for strong teaching genes.

    3. TEACHERS WERE - Earl WILLIS Mrs Marie CRUCE, Miss Ruby BURKS, Mrs E L HOPPER, Florence Carmical. Just for information sake: Mrs. Marie Cruce is still alive and very much an active participant in the White Hall Community. Also, Mrs. E.L.(Ervin).."Dootsy" Hopper is still alive and living in Pine Bluff. Her daughter Linda was a sorority sister of mine, Mr. Ervin and she were teachers of both my parents down on the "Prairie." When Memaw and Grandie went with me to freshman orientation in '68, they were some of the lst people we met. I thought it a little odd that people who taught my parents should have children my age. Funny thing, I wouldn't think a thing about it today.Ha....I tell the three boys that lived with me for two years how old their Aunt Beth and Mom are all the time when the other children's grandparents are right around out age.:-) Also, Mrs. Florence Clayton Carmical Vardaman married later in life just as did Mrs. Wilma Hankins, and she is still very much alive and back here in Monticello. She moved to Trinity Village for a time, but later decided that it wasn't for her. When Mr. Tom Heflin's art was shown at the museum last spring, she was there and seemed to be in great shape. When I first taught at Drew Central in l974, she had moved back here from Mississippi after her husband's death, and she was our librarian. I must say that we've not had one of her caliber since. She was just fantastic...(now that's not to say we haven't had some good ones....it's just to say that she is hard to top.) Also, unless I'm miscalculating, this Ruby Burks is the same as Mrs. Ruby Burks Jeter at the Archives. Mrs. Ruby was from Bowser Rd., and was one of the many Burks/Webbs, etc., who used to live out that way. Teacher like these are hard to come by today. I'll just bet those children's educations then were as much or more than what we modern teachers are trying to do today. They are simply outstanding women and probably were as educators, too. BETH
