The ole husband??? tried to come back in his older years, but Ma wouldn't have him.
some of my mother's older brothers were near 20, or so, and 2 of them and the ole gal's husband he left with tried to find them he wanted his kids back and i guess the older boys were capable of doing harm to the ole dad. Mother said they had to "gleam" in corn fields to find the nubs, if you don't know what that is, being city, that's the lesser of the corn that never made but had some corn within still. They'd roast them in the fire place to live.... and they hunted chestnuts... to this day it breaks my heart to know the life my mother had to come into this world with..
and hollywood thinks they can do a story... a lot of families can do "real" stories'
