Notes
a. Note:   [Collins.FTW] the newspaper clippings that Allie most likely placed in the family Bible reveals a love for cute "popular" poetry. also that she was against strong drink.! The subject of the poems dealt with family, church. She was apparently tickled by political cartoons . On the back of these clippings were nicknacks of the news and advertisements (corsets for $3.50 - 15)
 Allie lived the past few years of her life apart from T.I. with her dtr, Pearl, in Ft. Worth Tx. because she became unable to walk. She died from complications of two fractured legs that occured when Pearl accidently dumped her out of the wheelchair.
 A devout Christian who inexplicably was attracted to and married a rough old cob of a heathen, she prayed for his salvation for 37 years. She later decribed a somewhat mystical experience that occured after 19 years of such supplication in which God revealed that her motivation for his salvation was misdirected. Instead of asking for a Christian father and husband she realized that he needed to become saved for his own sake. In addition, she became convicted that his salvation would indeed occur altho it would be another 18 yrs ( midway thru her prayer project)
 Tarrant Co death certif. states her date of birth as 7-19-1856 - different from what she wrote in her own hand in the fam. Bible ( 1855 ). The informant was Pearl and she may have been mistaken. Place of birth was Texas. It is interesting that all official papers I've found to date list her given name as Allie rather than "Alabama", the name LBC Sr. claimed.
