My Great Aunt Mattie was always the lady. According to family stories her
husband had a bit of a drinking problem so she ran him off and he died not
many years after. She owned a lovely old home in Decatur that she converted
to a boarding house, today it would be a bed and breakfast. She made a good
living for herself and her sons. Frank and Joe both earned Doctorate degrees
in Education. Joe worked at the state capitol in Montgomery in some capacity
and Frank became President of Memphis State University.
