Notes for IDA MAY COCHRAN:
In a letter to Ruth Fisher Mauldin dated 1968 from Palestine, TX, Ida May wrote: "I wanted Sis (Emma) to come live with me, but I'm glad she's moved near you. The only way I have of going any where is for one of the kids to take me. Since Noles died I don't call on James so often for he has two grown girls to take care of. One of these is still in school. The older one is engaged to be married but can't seem to make up her mind when. She brought him up to see me. I like him very much. His mother lives in Alabama & his dad in California. John has three girls - one married & teaching school. Nancy has five kids, two boys, and three
girls. Her older boy is married & has a baby boy. He is in service. She came to see me a short time ago and brought her daughter-in-law & the baby. He is just a picture of his daddy. Edward said when he gets his first leave of absence that he is going to bring Linda & the baby up & spend most of it with me. He told Linda to tell me that he still loved me & always would. It is so nice to have your grand kids love you. I feel so sorry for Nancy's mother-in-law. None of her kids or grand kids even like her. Guess I am doing as well as any old lady my age can
expect. I raise chickens to help furnish meat for me & my two dogs.
Love to all, Aunt Ida May"
