After 'Uncle Tom' and 'Mary L' divorced, he moved into the cabin on my aunt, Josie Myrtle Nix Wear's property and did farm work for them. He then married a woman named May and moved to Lower Oppelo. May became very mentally unstable (or was always mentally unstable), believing she was pregnant with 'Uncle Tom's' baby. She remained pregnant for well over a year then 'had' the child. The one she produced was a child's baby doll which she dressed in a layette and presented to everyone as the newest addition! I remember when the older cousins would laugh about her, my mother and aunts would reprimand them and tell them she couldn't help it, that she was quite ill. That was quite the topic for discussion in the family for some time!
