". . . I have before me a picture of my blood grandmother [Jennie McNulty] - a most striking woman - this is a copy of the original - she died on her grant (land) around 1895 of Typhoid Fever. The story goes that both girls were left in care of friendly Indians while their father (Charles) and their maternal grandfather drove via wagon into Muscogee for a coffin and to report her death!
I once had a picture of Jennie (about 10 years old [1893]) the maternal grandfather sitting holding the the baby which was my mother [Lou] - this picture was made in Muscogee - name of studio and town was printed at bottom of picture - here are two incidents that indicates that Muscogee was nearby. The reporting of the death of Charles's wife and the picture of Jennie, my mother, and their maternal grandfather. . ."
