Claude & Jettie 1917 Claude was a son of Bill Mitchell & Sis Adcock Mitchell. Jettie was a daughter of Tommie Studdard & Anner Hawk Studdard.

Claude & Jettie

We lived in their duplex until I was five years old. I remember my grandfather as being very quiet and shy.   He died when I was in high school.  Grandmother was very outgoing.  She always kept a "biscuit jar" for all the grandchildren, instead of a cookie jar.  Her biscuits were heavenly! We spent many lazy afternoons on their front porch shelling peas and snapping beans.  Granddaddy would go over to Charlie's Restaurant, across the street on Glenwood Avenue, to buy some famous "Charlie-burgers", potato chips and bottled cokes for Friday night supper when we came over.

Uncle Herbert Mitchell & Me About 1950

"Sarah (Sis) Adcock, my grandmother, had had a stroke and was living with us in Social Circle, when she had another stroke and died.  I was only 6 years old, but I remember daddy and I had gone into town with the mule and wagon to pick up some things, when I saw a man in a buggy flying down the road toward us and told daddy that his mother had died.  That made quite an impression on a 6 year old."
