I never met my father's mother, that I remember, because she died in Aug. 1938 and I had been born in April of '37. She was the Mattie Alta Wilcher before she married Harvey Scott Speck; so, you can see I am really almost envious that you actually saw David Dulaney Wilcher and you say that he and H.T. (I believe my father called him Great Uncle Hop) resembled each other so much. Could you describe them for me? Were they tallish or shortish, color of eyes, facial bone structure,etc.? Also, do you have a picture of him. And what about Francina? What was her appearance like? Did she attend that funeral also? I looked back into some of my notes and I found GARVIN: Forest Hill Baptist Cemetery-- drive south 3 or 4 miles across rr tracks turn to left at brick house and drive 4 more miles. This note was taken probably almost 20 years ago. I suppose the trip begins at Garvin on HWY. 70. I have never seen an obituary for D.D. Wilcher. I wonder if Idabell had a newspaper then or if the church would have something. I think I'll go make a response to that person who wanted info on Louis Brown and Lilly Wilcher. On my tree I have John Wilcher(b. VA. 1758?) and Polly Watkins as the parents of John D. Wilcher. I don't remember my source, I'll have to look it up in my notebooks. Do you know what the D. stands for? Are we to assume that it is Dulaney. What more do you have on the Doss family? I have zilch. Beverly
