• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Grandpa Flack was bedfast for all of the years that I knew him, and many more before my time. He had crippling arthritis due to hard work on his farm, just as Grandma Flack was crippled, also. He was a school teacher and music teacher. Mama Dimp said that he taught in Falkville, and walked to school each morning. Falkville is quite a distance away, so he must have departed very early and arrived home very late. BIOGRAPHY: Per Mama Dimp: Grandpa Flack's family was the first in the area to have a battery operated radio. Each Saturday night, several people from the Somerville-West Point community would come to their house to listen to the Grand Ole Opry. James Brooks' father, Bud Brooks, who was approximately 75 years of age, just could not believe that the show was actually live from Nashville, Tennessee. (Some of the artists that they listened to were Uncle Dave Mason, Minnie Pearl and the Blue Grass Boys.) Mr. Brooks would state that there was no way that they could be really listening to people live, and that it HAD to be a record! Also, later, Mr. Clifford Henderson and his wife, Bertha, purchased a battery powered radio for their home. One Saturday evening, Mr.Henderson had been listening to a particular program, but he needed to feed his mules before dark set in. He stated to Mrs. Henderson to turn it off and he would listen to it when he completed his chores! He, too, thought that it was a recording and start exactly where he had left off listening to the program! +++++ Headstone includes: May Thy Will Be Done +++++ Mama Dimp told me that cars did not have glass windows, but instead had leather curtains with celluloid (clear) for viewing. Also has gas lamps for lighting. She remembers riding in her father's 1924 model T to a funeral. +++++ Notes from Phyllis Owens
