Bob and Bethel on Kathy
Pa Jim came through the door holding little Kathy who was just born. He came to introduce her to her big brother, Bobby, and her first cousin, Bethel, both around age 7. Pa Jim unwrapped baby Kathy, “Boys, what’ll you give me for her?” to which Bethel replied, “I wouldn’t give nothing for it. Why, it looks just like old Liz Fletcher.”
Liz Fletcher was a wrinkly old woman who lived down the road from Bethel.
James Elmer “Bud” Taulbee
Mommaw’s brother was named after their dad, James “Jim,” and Uncle Elmer. As a little boy, when asked what his name was, Bud would reply, “Jim Taulbee and Uncle Elmer.”
