Sometime After 1900
Sometime after 1900, Granny came from
New Mexico; where they lived in a half-dugout sod house. They came in a covered
wagon to Texas. Along the way, they used buffalo chips to fuel the campfires.
Granny's father was a Preacher. Claude Morris married Ada Bean; our great
grandparents. In the mid 1940's we would go to their house in Pampa. Grandma
Morris would have cracklin' cornbread on the stove and Grandpa Morris would be
in his rocking chair. He would take me on his lap and call me by the name
"SOCKS". Granny's mother lived to go with them to California in 1958.
