Biography

Sara Jane Cain Gray was called "Coot" and would have 1 hot toddy every night before bed.

A family story is that William had a handgun when he was older and Coot was always afraid he would hurt himself with it. When he would leave in the mornings, she would hide the gun. He would come home at night, go right to the gun, get

it and set it out. The ritual would repeat the next day. No matter where Coot hid the gun, William always found it without effort. She was good match for him - big, strong, stern. ;)

The postcard photo is a treasure for me. On the bottom right, sitting with a cigar in his mouth, hat at a jaunty angle and twinkle in his eye is William's son-in-law who married Flossie. His name is William A. Morris. The A does not stand for anything; he just liked the letter. hah! Would have loved to see him and William carrying on. No wonder the women went white-haired. ^[1]
