Ollie May Jones

I thought it would be good to put up a little information for the Floyd side of the family. This is Ollie May Jones. She is my great, great grandma on my dad's mother's side. So it goes Me, My dad, Ola Nadeen Wortham, Myrtle May Pate, and then Ollie May Pate. She is the kind of woman that really reminds me of where the Floyds get their family culture. We are hardworking people who are firmly rooted in that "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps" mentality. When I read this, I could just see her life and what she did trickle down the tree to me. The ringing chickens by their necks, knowing how to handle a shotgun, and always lending a helping hand is just so Floyd. Part of the article got cut off when it was originally copied for me. Something that I remember my aunt Carmen mentioning was that she was a bit of a midwife in her parts of the state as well. Its an interesting read and is written by a not so distant relative that we are no longer in contact with, but my dad and aunt recollect.
