CORRECTION- I listed Imogene as a Carey- we had the same grandmother- our moms were sisters. Actually she was the daughter of Tom Hatchett and Ada Carey- Imogene HatchettTom had a type of emphosema from WW1 Pneumonia in Army. He drove truck and hauled soldiers to Galveston troop ships , sick in until the Flu brouht him down. Some were kept in pup tents in Galveston and given medicine there. he recoverred enough to do farm work in field, garden, and livestock, but would have to stop and heave at times. Similar to Dad's Asthma. Most of the Carey sisters and brothers of mom had Smallpox and missed almost a year of school- The pockets were as large as a finger- and as long. If they turned in Bed and burst one, others would form from the puss touching the clean skin. All survived, but some dropped out- in 1918 it was not considerred necessary for farm girls to finish 11 years of school and graduate or test out. Dad roomed with Virgil Underwood in the home where Charlie Neblitt was born. he finished Tarleton and taught one year at Harmony, near , near Meridian. he had studied Spanish but Harmony first Graders spoke one or 2 languages- Norwegian or German. he left theaching and started farming. Mom kept all the books and figured the income tax and he would help on some instructions. Virgil became a well known Vocational Ag teacher. What a change- are you familiar with handwriting not being taught any more? I have a granddaughter who has a scholarship to Texas A&M next year and she nor her sisters can read script writing or do it- they print. The kleyboard has taken over.
