Fulton--I am sorry I forgot to tell you that John W. (Dock Sr) Prather was the son of John and Irene "Gatsy" Smith Prather; he had a brother Matthew Prather who married my aunt, Mattie Mullins, and two sisters: Bessie Prather married Fred Campbell and Mattie Prather married John Allen Dorsey. All these folks had good sized families.
