List each one of your Aunts and Uncles. Tell one thing about each of them.

Uncle Ellis (Moner's brother) he died when John was a baby so I don't remember him.  He was married to Aunt Polly.  He was Edna's Daddy.  They had four girls, and lived here in town in the house that Uncle Ellis built or started.  I don't know if he lived to finish it or someone else ded.  She and the girls had the dairy I mentioned before.

Uncle Clark (Moner's brother) and Aunt Naomi.  I really don't know much about them.   Although they lived here in the country with no way to go but walk so we didn't visit much.  They had two girls and a boy.  I don't remember the boy because he was killed in the war.  The oldest girl is now deceased.  I remember visiting them in the nursing home with Moner when I first moved back here until they passed away.  Your Dad fished some with Uncle Clark.

Uncle T (Moner's brother) and Aunt Jane (your dad's sister).  His name was Lee Tally but most everyone called him LT.  We shortened it to just T.  I was closer to them and knew them better than the others.  We all lived in the same house for a while.  They had three girls and five boys.  He had a small car with a rumble seat.  We would sometimes take turns riding.  That was after the war when the rationing of gas was lifted.  He worked at Fort Stewart during the war.  He would give money to Moner to help us.  Aunt Jane was a really good cook.

Uncle Claude (Moner's brother) and Aunt Melbourne lived in Collins for awhile before moving to Savannah.  He was the one that paid for me to ride on the swings I referred to earlier.  She was a very stout woman.  They had six girls and two boys.  The youngest boy was a cab driver in Savannah until someone killed him.

Uncle Ben and Aunt Hilma (Moner's sister).  They lived here for a while until they moved to Savannah.  They had four girls and one boy.  The boy was killed in a car accident when he was a teen-ager.  She's getting pretty feeble now.  Carolyn and I visited her at her daughter's where she now lives.  She talks about the past alot.

Aunt Lucy (Moner's sister)  I never called her Aunt because she wasn't but a few years older than me.  We walked to school together.  They lived in the same two story house we and Uncle T's family lived in.  She died not long after she graduated from high school.  She was very pretty, had long dark hair, always neat.  I was ten when she passed away.

Uncle Marshall and Aunt Gladys (Moner's sister).  They had five girls and two boys.  Two boys and one of the girls have passed away.  They lived here in Collins a while.  Aunt Gladys worked in a dry cleaners.  Then they moved to Savannah and both worked at Bradley Plywood.  They went to the same church as us until she passed away.  Then he remarried a woman from Collins and moved back here until he passed away.
