Ouida, Are you the one who sent me the letter fom Rubye Spivey and one from she signs it E. I am going to copy it as good as I can I can't see it well. Dear Odessa, its not dated. Thanks for sending the information on Hardy Jr, I had a little of it but not near all. I just couldn't get to much out of Mr Hartwell McGlaun, I was trying to find out where my Uncle James was buried. He didn't seem to know any more McGlauns. He told me all about his wife so I listen very calm like while he told me . He said his sister was very sick at that time. As I told you I am the last of our McGlauns except for one Nephew Bill who lives in Cleveland, Texas. I have three neices and three nephew who were my sisters children. My Mother married my father when he was 50 yrs his wife had died two years before he had 6 children and she had one. Her husband had died 3 years before and she was 25 year old. Not much older than his oldest daughter. He died in 1931. I moved here in 1979 from Conroe, Texas after my husband retired from Exxon. I really don't like here at all. There isn't anything around here, just a country town.
