When he got home Daddy told us that when they got to the house Aunt Vaucy said"Joe I've been waiting all day for you to come home & make me a sandwhich!"

Jesse & his brother Luther dug the baby sister grave. Someone came & told them their mother died & they needed to dig another grave.(Always made me cry that they had to dig graves)
Thomas Clarence Duke, went by his middle name Clarence as there were too many "Thomas"s in his extended family.
