Hi List, Greetings from Seattle! The original inquiry I put out is one of seeking information. I have very little to add. Mary Gertrude Prather m 1st Paul Mullen and 2nd my brother D. B. Harrigill in Brookhaven. I graduated H.S. with Vera. Those I listed at the bottom of the page are the children of Doc (his real name)Prather. I believe I left one daughter off the list, but will check with "Trudy" if she can provide any further info. I will be talking with my sister in law and will read her all your inquiries and get back with you.

Hi Fulton; Mary Getrude Prather was the daughter of John W. Prather, often referred to as Dock, Sr. (records of his offical name along with his divorces from his first two wives can be found at the Chancery Court Records in Franklin Co) and his third wife, Lavina Campbell. They had at least two sons: Joel and Dock, Jr plus 5 daughters: Lucille who married a Maddox, Ida who married a Dr. Kenny, Irene who married Norman Hill, Mary Gertrude and Vera. I don't know who Vera married. Hope this helps.
