After the death of Ellen Anne, Kendrick remarried to Belle Monk, in 1911. Belle and Kendrick continued farm life as listed above and raised a second family. Their children were; Grace Mae, Buck Creed, Gus Collins, Gladys Inez, Margarette Ellen, and Jake William. Kendrick was a tall man with dark wavy hair and mustache. He had dark brown eyes. Later in life he had snow white hair and mustache. He was a quiet, but stern man. Later in life he walked with a cane, and if he pointed that cane and told you to do something, you moved. He loved his family and his God. Ellen Anne had dark hair and eyes. Belle was a tiny woman, standing only 4 foot, 11 inches. She had gray eyes and black hair with tiny waves all over. Belle, or Miss Belle, as everyone called her was always laughing. She was an excellent cook, and made the best fried chicken in the world. She would surely put Colonel Sanders to shame. She always made everyone that came to her home feel welcome, and I know that I loved her dearly. Gus was retarded and lived with the family until his death from poor circulation and heart disease. He is buried at Heflin, near his mother and father. Anyone have Monks in their line?
