• Notes

  As told by Lula L. Horton Adda was working in the fields when a terrible storm came up. She quickly unhitched the horses and ran to tie them in the barn. After the long run she doubled over in pain and took to her bed. She was with child. She told her mother she no longeonger felt life with the baby. She and her mother begged John to call for the doctor but he wouldn't have it. She died later. It took John so long to build the coffin that during the burial, her body exploded and seeped out of the coffin. Virgil, a child, saw this and Lula felt it later led to his being hospitalized.
