 Photo taken about 1906 ~ Conway County Arkansas L to R: Alex. B. Gordon, Melvina & daughter Allie "Alexander Gordon died due to injuries as he was hitching mules to a wagon. One of the mules was new & started "acting up" & he fell & broke his leg. Gangrene set in & he died a week later." ~ Memories of Mabel Huett-Huckaby, grand-daughter of Alex & Melvina Gordon "Mom never talked about him much to me. It was hard for her to talk about death. I remember talking to her about the family but she'd keep avoiding me. She told me he died after falling off a horse & broke his leg & gangrene set in. In those days doctors didn't know how to set a broken leg back in place like they do now. She was 9 years old she told me when he died." ~ Memories of Edith Wilson-Jackson, daughter of Allie M. Gordon-Wilson & grand-daughter of Alex & Melvina Gordon
