Thank you for your inquiry into my Father's Mother Adaline Nix. I can only say, I have never heard my Father say a negative thing about her. When My father died, and we were going among his most treasured things, we found his mother's dress that he had neatly packed away. What a tiny little lady. And Lady she was. She was very beautiful in her youth. I have a picture of she and REV. W. Thomas with their two oldest children; Viola and Wiley.
