The little precious twin boys were both born dead. Mama and Dad were working on the Lawhorn Farm as Sharecroppers at the time of the babies birth, in Rockwall County, Texas.
Mama told me the store of how she could not get out of bed, so Mrs. Lawhorn bathed and dressed the two babies for burial. My dad and Mr. Lawhorn made the little casket for the twins and Dad carried the casket on his shoulder to the small Lawhorn Cemetery and Mr. Lawhorn carried the shovels.

I think, the cemetery was located on the farm at that time. I took my parents back to visit the babies grave about 1956 and they went exactly to where the babies were buried even though there was only a stone marking the grave instead of a tombstone. Mama had told me she had placed the stone there and sure enough it was still laying there, marking the grave. How sweet that was for my parents that it had not been moved and they were able to find the rock that marked the grave of their babies.I so much want to have a stone made for their grave.

Myrtle the oldest child born would have been the age of about 11/2 years old at the death of the twin brothers, who were the second born to dad and mother.

My parents had eleven children, eight of us married and had our own families. Mama and dad had another boy after the twins, Willard Henry Coe and he only lived to the age of seven years. The photo at the right is our family in 1943, that they would have grown up in. Very poor, but so much love and caring for each other.They would have been happy.
