Lula Fulghum Waddey, my grandmother.
Lula Mary Fulghum Waddey, the only grandparent I ever got to know (about the time of her wedding). Born in April, 1873, the 4th of 9 children of Civil War Confederate veteran William Washington Fulghum, she married Southern Railroad engineer Surrey Pettus Waddey in 1905 and had 6 children, including my mother Lula Myrle Waddey Gaines. She passed away a month after her 90th birthday, in late May of 1963. I was away at college and we had discussed doing lots of genealogy work while I was home, that summer, but it was not to be. DON'T WAIT - WRITE IT DOWN!
