As told to me by my Mother, Georgene Jackson (Sanders) Birchett, about her mother, Thelma Ioma (Ragland) Sanders when she was a girl in Texas.
Uncle Ray (Ragland) called Moma "Carrot Top," just to get her going. His big tease was to chase her with a dead mouse. He paid for it every Sunday though, Moma played the organ in church and she was too short to reach the pedals, so it was Uncle Rays job to get behind the organ and pump it with the lever on the back. Moma knew all the songs by heart and she played by ear while she sang alto. Moma said that every Sunday morning, their father, C.T. Ragland, would hear their Sunday School lessons while he worked on their fingernails. He insisted on proper dress and behavior. They were a quality family, belonging to the Baptist Church. ~Georgene Jackson (Sanders) Birchett
