Addie Lou was the daughter of James W. (Jim) and Mary Alice LITTLE Newton. Papa Newton always said the lady who was tending the baby while Grandma was in bed killed his baby. The lady put Alum on the navel band that babies wore back then. Papa always believed that was what killed the baby. Years later he asked one of his daughters to name her baby Addie and she did.
Addie Lou was my Aunt.
