I really don't have a clue as to when this picture was taken... or where??? What is in the background? Mama Dooley (Pearlie Travis Morgan-Huggins) was born in 1900... and she looks really young... about 50-ish??? Daddy said that Mama Dooley was heavy-set as a young mother... that she had a sick spell and lost weight. Also, she was a diabetic (I think... not diagnosed until her kidneys failed....years of 1930-40-50's.... she only lived to be 68 years old.)
Back in 2008 . . . . Wendell, myself, Lawrence and Lawry and Kandy made the road trip to Lexington Mississippi... and the town of Tchula.... and then we looked for Balance-Due Road..... down yonder a ways..... and we had directions for Greenlawn Cemetery! We found the Headstone daddy placed for his mother....... The grounds were beautifully well-kept...
This is Howard Huggins Sr..... who married Pearlie (as a widow) in 1925.... He walked out on Pearlie just seven months after Howard Huggins Jr (my father) was born in Tchula MS.... and YES....There is a story as to WHY HE LEFT.....!!!
This is the old 1964-65 picture of Aunt Hattie...Uncle DD, Howard Jr, and Aunt Ruth all surrounding Mama Dooley in Chicago, IL. (At DD's House)
Thank you for you sharing.
