Story sent by A. Kenneth Creel - Mom rode with us and we were discussing the old days. She gave me this story, back when she was about 11-12 years old, 1922-1923, Merida Eugene and Mary Elizabeth drove over to Franklinton, from Texas, in a car. They had Sandy with them. She said that on the trip to Franklinton, they had a car accident that some way cut the top off the car and turned it into a convertible. Sandy happened to be asleep on the floor or the car and neither he or Gene or Lizzie were injured.

"I remember my grandmother, Lizzie, telling me that she had 5 boys and 5 girls. Four girls and one boy died in infancy. The names, birth dates, and death dates were lost when her Bible disappeared sometime between her death in 1950 and the death of her only surviving daughter, Ida, in 1979. Evidently, these 5 infants died between the 1900 census and the 1910 census." (Source - Louise Fisher Goff 1 May 2001)

Note by Gwen Goff Hobbs:
A wonderful, good natured man who I knew as my grandfather. (He and Bonnie married in December after I was born.) He created new iris hybrids as a hobby as well as other gardening and he enjoyed travel and photography. He was a church elder and known for his frequent "Amen"s in church (it used to embarass me so much when I was little). He lived the life of a good Christian man day in and day out.
On August 26, 1977, he was digging a field line in the cool of the morning. He went in for lunch and then for his usual nap. He started feeling sick and called Bonnie who took him to the hospital. He had suffered a mild heart attack. That evening, he suffered another massive heart attack and died. The preacher at his funeral stated, "What a way to go. Working in his garden in the morning and with the Lord that evening." If he could have planned his departure from this earth, I believe that this would have been the way he chose.
