"Great Grand Parents" on my mothers side

Mama and Papa

I remember Papa and mama well. They lived up the red dirt road from my grandparents. They had horses ,goats and pigs. I loved going up to the house and always hoped to see the horses. When I got lucky papa would catch a horse for me to ride. I once told him I'd give him a quarter to catch a horse. He laughed., Papa had a very distict laugh and a deep southern draw. I remeber him always wearing a white hat. Maybe I am just dreaming that up,I'll have to find out if he really did. 
 I remember Papa always being on his big farm tractor. He died out on his tractor plowing. I think he had a heart attack and fell off from what I recall. I think I was in 4th grade. I remember getting picked up from school to go to Alabama for the funeral.

Mama was always on the porch visiting or cooking. She was not as attentive to me as papa was.

After papa died Mama lived several more years.
I have fond memories of playing on their land and the family members all meeting there.

Mama lived to be in her 90's. I want to say 96.  I remember when we would go visit she would tell us she might not be living next time we came down. Mom told me Mama told her that when she was a little girl. She ended up having a long life!
