NOTES
1). Downloaded from gedcom submitted to WorldConnect by John Te rrill Wayland Jr. Janet Murphy, daughter of Thomas Epps Murphy Daddy was four years of age and Uncle Silas two years they were the youngest of the children when their mother died. Aunt Gussie had to try to take her mother s place until she married. The children wereso young. After Aunt Gussie married, they missed not having a woman in the house which is why Daddy said he never wanted to be where there weren t women folk in the house. Well, he got his share with Mama and four daughters. The Lord must have understood. I remember him talking about being at Aunt Lou and Uncle Jack Woodruff s home. He thought a lot of her. Their farm was near to their s near Byromville. Daddy remembers, as a child and sick in bed, waking during the night and finding his father sitting beside his bed. How he loved and respected his father. They all did. He grandaddy was a good man and respected by all. I remember visiting at the Methodist Church at Byromville as a young teenager, and Grandaddy was asked to say a prayer. He knelt beside his pew and prayed. Just as he would have done at home. Incidentally, this is the church where some in our family were baptized as babies, or children. The Sunday School and Church we went to during the time we lived at Byromville . He had family prayer evenings at home when his family was growing up and when we were small. Probably all of his life. After Grandaddy, Thomas Humphrey s wife, Missouri Frances, died and probably, after Aunt Gussie married, he moved his family in a wagon, to the country from Newton county, GA to the Byromville area, looking for better land to farm about 1895 . Which is what he was, a farmer. Vivian or Helen said Daddy had once said after his father planted his crops, he did not worry about them. He had faith everything would turn out all right. Grandaddy liked to read usually the newspapers he subscribed to and, ofcourse, his Bible . In later years, when he was old and had cataracts on his eyes his sister, our Great Aunt Ellen, would walk from Uncle Oliver s house to Grandaddy s and read to him. He would walk to town as long as he was able to about 3 1 2 milesafter years of having a horse and buggy. Never owned a car. Daddy talked with an eye doctor one time, about an eye operation and the doctor said, if he was his father and at his age, he wouldn t advise the operation. Probably, would be very differentnow. Silas Frank Murphy, grandson said his Grandaddy always kept candy in the buggy house for his grandchildren and would let them ride in the wagon with somebody pulling it. He would let them ride with him on the wagon when he went in to town. Swearingen Cemetery at Byromville, GA is on the Drayton Rd, just out of town.
