Notes
a. Note:   Annie and Reno always had a big garden. Reno would leave two (2) rows near the middle for Annie to raise flowers. One year, Annie canned so much one year, the second floor boards sagged and the stair door could not be closed. Annie would hang a clean stocking and fill it with eggs. At Christmas, she'd make boiled custard five gallons at a time. She'd set it in the frozen rain barrel to chill. Annie raised ducks. When the pond froze, the ducks had difficulty with the ice. Each year, she'd pluck them for the feathers. She'd turn one upside down, holding it by the feet with one hand and its head between her knees. Occasionally, one would bite her leg and she'd hit it to make it stop. She made a feather bed, bolster and two pillows for herself and each of her five (5) adult children. She had pet pig. She was upset when her father married Nannie, to the point of nearly disowning him. Traded pile of hay to a man in Sharon Grove for making Reno's tombstone . She told her cousin Will that Selton took her young team of mules and sold his older team. Annie continued to rent her land to a neighbor for a share of the crops and income after Reno's death. After Joel Washington Harris' death, Nannie came to Annie and asked for money to buy a black dress to wear to the funeral. Annie Cora refused, saying her father had raised Nannie's three children. Once, she criticized Richard's driving, telling him to slow down and saying, "you'll knock off a hub cap" One Saturday night, she gave me a bath with a washcloth in a galvanized wash tub on the back porch of her house. It felt as if she were trying to remove the top layers of skin. When I tried to protect myself, she told me, "You don't have anything I haven't seen before." Gary caught a large crawfish and brought it back to the house. Grannie made a reference to the Devil and smashed it to pieces with a stick. Once on a family trip to Bowling Green, Annie sat in my lap the both going and coming back. After a hospital stay, she moved into Irene's home on Russellville Street in Elkton. In November 1963, she and Irene had moved into a room at the Jefferson Davis Hotel overlooking the Square in Elkton. Soon after, they returned to Irene's house. Annie would sit close to the television to watch her favorite weekday soap operas. The first week of June 1977, Clyo and Mayo Violette Sr. were helping Jo and Gary Violette renovate the home they'd recently bought in Lexington Fayette County Kentucky. Clyo was cleaning the kitchen cabinets when a phone call brought the news Annie was dying. Clyo returned to Elkton to be at Annie's side with Myrtle Belle Mallory Rager and Jettye Irene Mallory Shemwell. Years later, Clyo told how they believed Annie knew she was there, even though she could not speak. Clyo said Annie opened her eyes when they spoke to her and seemed to recognize them. Annie's body was taken three doors west to Latham Funeral Home, where Annie's grandson J.G. Mallory was was part owner. J.G. had a blanket of red roses made to cover her casket. When the service was over, the men hired by the funeral home to move the flowers were late in arriving. This was the only time that had been known to happen. Annie's six surviving grandsons served as pall bearers. As the procession moved toward the courthouse, someone noted how the car, second in line behind the hearse seemed to rock as if a wheel were bent. Apparently, the street had waves in it that went unnoticed at normal speed. Repeating the procession in later funerals that followed, I always noticed the phenomenon and remembered Granny. The flowers were brought to cover the grave after the burial. As we left the cemetery, I thought of the day twenty years earlier when she'd comforted me at Grandad's burial (GV).
