Hi Laura! Glad to see you made it to the board. I kinda lost contact with you over the last year.

The photo of Jesse Hickman farming was in my grandfather's photos. I scanned it in and magnefied it to see who was in the photo.

You asked about the photo of the Moody house on Lake Terrell. That home belonged to Nora and Ira Moody Sr. They moved it to that property after they lost the store in Elmo. The home was the old Henry West home and was originally located off of 429. It currently sits on 390 near the Elmo cemetary. It is still owned by the Moody family.

I too have seen Mary's last name both ways (Anders and Andrews). We have ask if her children were mistaken when they said her madien name was Andrews or did the person who wrote the marrage certificate wrong. We may never know. I have decieded to call her Andrews and make note of Anders on my record for her. I hadn't heard that her middle name was Elizabeth. I was always told that it was Lousie. Her grave stone says Mary L. Moody. Sue did you get this info from Ira Jr (Shorty) or Ira Sr? If it was Shorty, I need have my dad look for it. He recieved all of Shorty's family history records when Ira Jr died in 2000.
