Mattie Eleanor Henderson's first husband, James Walter Evans (Uncle Walter) died of T B when he was 32 years old. The picture of him on my web site shows him to be a very handsome, large man. Aunt Mattie then married William Patrick Underwood. We called him Uncle Pat. Aunt Mattie from then on was called Mattie Pat. Granny Nan was sitting in Aunt Mattie's living room watching the news when Aunt Mattie came into the room from the bedroom in only her slip. Granny Nan told her to get back in the bedroom and put on her clothes, that the man on the t v was looking at Aunt Mattie. (I think of what little Granny must have thought as she sat there by herself watching this foreign invention in her daughter's house.) Aunt Mattie was always the life of any party. She had a loud laugh that could fill up a room with the cackle. She loved to hear jokes and she loved to tell them. She was a born story teller. My memory of her and Uncle Pat is one of how much fun the two of them had as man and wife with their sense of fun. Her child by Uncle Pat was raised along with the children by Uncle Walter. A special party was planned for her 95th birthday in Darien. She died six days before the celebration. She told a neighbor who was visiting to get her a glass of water. When the neighbor came into the living room she found Aunt Mattie had quietly gone to God. Aunt Mattie was a very special person to me. I am thankful to have had her in my life. Christopher Boyd
