All, I hope my remark wasn't taken by anyone as disrespectful to the dead. Just as yesterday as I was spraying weed killer on the grave of Aunt Mollie, I said "Hold Your nose Aunt Mollie" Actually she was a aunt of my dad but we always called her Aunt Mollie. Her read name was Mary E Atkins Giddens, born to Bennett & Sara Brunson Atkins. She died in 1975 and may be the last person buried at Concord Cemetery. She and my grandmother Giddens use to live together on Donoho Street about a block or 2 south of Clarksville High School. I remember stopping and visiting with them as I would walk home from school. They always had a bowl of candy on the dresser. The candy was Honey Nut Maples. I never saw that candy anywhere else and thought they must be very special. I was shocked one day when I saw the candy in the bin at the Duke & Ayers 5 & dime Store. I still think of those two ladies when I see Honey Nut Maple candy in bags at the grocery stores today. I think I have the name of the candy correct. Aunt Mollie is the only person buried at Concord that I remember every meeting. Her two sons were Homer & Ira Giddens. Some of you probably remember Ira Giddens from a jeweler at Clarksville the a rural route mail carrier. Homer & Ira are both in the WW II book of Red River Co. My grandson and I did walk the land behind Concord Cemetery today here my GGG GF built his home when he came there in 1833. A very pretty clearing in the middle of very pretty cedar trees. Got to rush now and drive to work in Pittsburg (Tx).
