Notes
a. Note:   !Complete Mangum line of my grandmother can be found in my family his
Note:   tory,
 "The Palmers and Parmers of NC, SC, AL, GA, & MS...", published in 1988. A
 more complete line of her Mangums can be found in the third edition of my
 Mangum family history, "The Mangums of VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, & MS," published
 1991.
  !Source: Personal knowledge. As a child I visited my Grandmother Eugenia
 Mangum Gates often with my family. My one vivid memory of her is still in some
 detail. On that visit she gave me a red pullet (chicken) that I named
 "Deemie." Deemie was a favorite and a pet, and I would often sit by her nest
 while she was "setting" or on the next to lay an egg. As I recall, she was
 what I would describe as a "Rhode Island Red." She raised many broods of
 young chicks before Dr. Giles' automobile ran over "Deemie" in front of our
 home as he came to visit us. (We were living on his farm we termed the "Dr
 Giles Place," near Poplar Springs Baptist Church. I wept profusely when I
 discovered that he had killed my dear pet "Deemie." He brought me a
 replacement that never ever replaced Deemie. I always disliked him afer that
 for killing my favorite pet.
  !My grandmother soon died from complications from diabetes. She had lost a
 finger on one hand from an infection that would never heal. All of her
 children with the exception of Uncle Willie Gates inherited diabetes from her
 and all died fairly early from complications of this deadly disease. She was
 the first person in our community that used a small kerosene lamp to test the
 sugar in her urine. She is buried at Poplar Springs Baptist Church, no more
 than 3/4 of a mile where we lived when Deemie was killed.
