There was talk of having a five generation picture made, but it was never done. Hiram died when I was ten months and one day old. Often Hiram would visit his daughter, Nancy Ann. He was so senile that he would wander off and get lost and Nancy Ann would have to go and hunt for him. It was said Nancy soon despised his visits. Sometimes he would wander as far away as Dawson. Some of the Dawson citizens would recognize him and take him home and that was in the 'horse and buggy days' so that was a nice round trip for some one.

MY NOTE:
After many years of correspondence and further research, it is now believed that Hiram in his later years suffered from Parkinson's Disease or possibly even Alzymers. He was almost 87 when he died.

Children's names per Bible Record -(Copy made August 1963 by Inez Kinchloe)

Inez wrote:
At this time the Bible is no longer in existence. Only the family record had been saved and at this time is in possession of his granddaguther Mrs. Ethel (Vinson) Adams of Coolidge, Texas. All births and deaths were recorded by initials only. It was very faded and difficult to read.
