    1. [TNGREENE] Letters From Grandmother
    2. I have some letters my GGGrandmother Mary Jane Harlow Davis Walker wrote in Nov. of 1916. She wrote it to her son George Seigal Davis (my GGrandfather that married America STOUT). Their daughter Della Jane DAVIS married Charles George HOWARD. (my Grandparents) She wrote the letters from Greenville, TN. The following names are mentioned: Joe (better be making preparations to meet his God) Ellen HOWARD &Bert WALKER (have been to see me since I wrote you) Joe (has been sick. He was talking over the phone and just fell like he was dead) Aunt Mat (looks more feeble than sister Mary) We were invited to Bruce Larues (?) yesterday. They have an elegant home. Taylor, Lottie, Clemarrie,(?) Hedrick they look like Bessie Kids. Aunt Annie, Sister, Brother Harris &I were invited to Walkers yesterday. Walkers have raised their house full two stories. Jonnie took us all over town to the national cemetery and out to Tusculum. Bessie is going to give a swell dinner tomorrow. Taylor &Joe are bald. Your aunt Aunt Annie is almost bald and what hair she has is white as snow. I'm invited to Joe's Sunday to dinner, next week to Mrs. Willis &Mrs. (looks like Lemmons or Larnons? Susan looks like natural as does Fred Fox Frank is not here Merman &Harrison &George are here. Anna &Francis (?) are both married. John Eads (married has 5 children, all of them are dead, but Mary and John. Willis. Chester lives with Taylor. He is a good steady man. Imogene teaches school. I like Bessie Roe's husband, awfully nice to me. He is devoted to her children. Marie is a perfect little lady. Haynes (Waynes) looks just like his Grandpa Heaynes. Clifford McInturf (?) is a postal clerk. Charlie runs a paper here. Carroll works in Bruce Larnes insurance office, all married. Jim is selling medicine. Brother Harris and sister are going home Saturday. I'm going to stay till the 16th, then Annie and I will go to Knoxville, stay all night there and down to Sisters. Unless you write me right away address me at: R.? D. # 4 Loudon, Tennessee. Syddie's husband is a postman, gets a hundred dollars a month. Lawrence still has the restless nature. He is not at all satisfied in this country. I would not be surprised anytime for him to go back west. He has a nice wife and it would most break his mother's heart. I want him to stay here while she lives. She is so old and feeble, but you know Lawrence and he has never been satisfied here. Bessies husband would make as fine a Blacksmith as you. She says she would not live there because of the cost of living. Corn a dollar a bushel and pay is 75cents a day for shucking the corn. Now....is there anyone on here that can relate to any of the above??? If so I would LOVE to hear from you!!! Rebecca
