Note: I don't remember Grandma Ollie very well. She died when I was 15. I do recall in her later years she was pretty nervous with little kids like me. Although I am sure I was "perfect," she sometimes called me "sass box." I don't think that meant I was a sweet little boy. I do recall that Daddy was turning a mattress on his bed and somehow Grandma fell breaking her hip. She never was the same after that. She lived with us for a number of years. When Marjorie (my sister in California) had her son Steve he was an RH baby...a serious situation at the time. We all went to California to be with Marjorie at that time, leaving Grandma in Tulsa (in a nursing home, I think) while we were gone. While we were in California Grandma died. Daddy had to fly home and the rest of us stayed in California. She had wavy black hair. She said it had been straight until she had Typhoid (?) with a high fever. She lost her hair at that time and she said it came back in wavy. According to Jewel Rayborn Neilson (my oldest sister) the 1910 census showed Orville Carter, nephew of Ollie Mansker Rayborn, living with them at that time. The Moore Funeral Home was in charge of the service. -Bill Rayborn, 1994 The photo of Ollie and her second husband Rev. Lens W. Hensley in the FTM scrapbook was found in a photo album of mine which I discovered in 1999. Judging from the photos and my handwriting I would say the album was compiled when I was under 10 years of age. =BR=
