Notes
a. Note:   Memories of Hattie Hope Winstead, by Mary Linda Winstead Janke:
  Aunt Hattie was my buddy. I positively adored her. One of the earliest memories I have concerned her. I was about 18 months old and Mamma had gone to Cousin Lester's house to get water, as we had no well on our property. Mamma could not carry me and water buckets too so she thought she had securely blocked me in with a play pen made of straight chairs laid on their sides. Being the resourceful toddler that I was, and having little else to do, I planned my escape. I was very small and crawled through the rungs of the chairs and made it out the back door. My plan was to go to Aunt Hattie's house across the road for one of her excellent butter biscuits. I climbed the hill and was standing in the middle of the road when Mamma came back from Lester's. She asked me where I was going and I told her. I was not happy when she would not let me complete the journey and claim my prize. Even now I can remember how frustrated I was. If you want to know what her biscuits tasted like, the ones at KFC are the closest I've had. She would drive over when I lived with Grandma and Granddaddy Winstead (1957-59) and visit. I always slept with her when she came to stay for a few days. When she got up, the first thing she did was take her insulin shot. She was diabetic but she was very slender and extremely careful of her diet. Her gray hair was long enough to sit on and she wore it parted in the middle, braided down her back, and wound into a bun at the nape of her neck. She would undo the braid every morning and brush her hair and re braid it. Sometimes she let me brush it for her.
 The year she was 75 she visited for her birthday and stayed a few days. Granddaddy and I went in the Bi-So-Dol jar where he kept his pennies and taped 75 to the card. The birthday cards Grandma and Granddaddy gave always had a penny for every year old you were taped to them. Anyway when Aunt Hattie opened her card. I said, "Gosh Aunt Hattie, you're lucky, you got almost a whole dollar!" She was mildly amused by the comment but Granddaddy just howled he thought it was so funny. Aunt Hattie grew up with 6 brothers and could do most anything they could do. When she was young she loved to ride horses. She and Grandma and Granddaddy loved to play dominoes and the game would go on for hours. I never understood the rules but loved to build things with them. She crocheted beautifully, but only with a medium blue thread. I never knew her to use white. I have a little piece of needlework she did. She copied a few repeats of the border on her grandmother Jacobs' sampler.
  Death date on tombstone seems to be wrong. States that she died Dec 3, but the death cert AND the diary of William B. Washburn, Sr says she died on Dec 4.
