Notes |
- A remembrance of Alma Grant Knott about the death of her mother as told by her daughter Louella Knott Farmer.
Mom must have been a very young child. She remembered the family being taken in a coverd wagon to her grandparents' home because her mother was no longer physically able to care for them. (tuberculosis) Her father, Monroe Grant, took the wagon back to their place to bring their furntiure and belongings (plunder) to her grandparents' home.
She remembered her grandfather waking her up during the night and carrying her in to tell her mother good bye. She died that night, October 19, 1894. As her father returned and neared the grandparents' home he met the wagon taking his wife's body to the cemetery.
This all happened in Frio County, Texas.
