Our family moved to the Perry Parsons farm on Given Road.
I do not remember ever seeing my mother; I was two years old when she died. I was premature and was so tiny when I was , that I had to be carried around in a shoebox. I was a young boy when we moved to Jackson County, I lived there until I went to Florida to work building homes. I was married in 1966 to Phyllis Jean Parrish.
