Aunt Mamie cooked their meals on a wood stove until about 1960, when their kitchen caught fire. She was always whistling when she worked around the house.
Dad was working around the house, when he just had the urge to go over and see Aunt Mamie and Uncle Ed. Good thing he did, because he found her trying to get Uncle Ed out of the house because the kitchen was on fire. Dad got them out of the house and put the fire out.
I think she was from the Gadsden area. Granddaddy and Uncle Ed moved to Attala from Roane Co. Tenn. to work in the Ore mines. Then from there to Powderly, Jefferson co. Al. where uncle Ed. retired from the ore mines in the area and moved to Shelby co. Bamford, where he opened coal mines on his property.
