• Notes

  "If I remember correctly, Uncle Tink also worked for an oil company. He and Aunt Dixie lived in Abilene for as long as I can remember. They had two children; Betty and Altus. Altus had a lot of problems and was killed while working on the construction of a building at Hendrick Hospital in Abilene. Betty is still alive and lives in Waco. She is retired, having worked in education. She has all kinds of degrees and looks just like her father (body and facial). Uncle Tink and Aunt Dixie argued continually and she could curse like a sailor. We were always about half afraid of her although Mother always made us go outside when they were around. My Father said that the night he proposed to Mother Aunt Dixie and Uncle Tink were fighting. Mother visited them and then Aunt Dixie after he died." (Written by Margaret Kimbrell Wood, 3 Aug 2010.)
