Granny was thirteen when a tall thin stranger with reddish blond hair stepped off a freight train in Winnsboro, LA. Grandpa didn’t like the boy, and he made it plain he was not welcome in his home or around his daughters.

But Granny like him and John Russel befriended the stranger. John owned a forty acre tract of land, lived on a river boat in the Beouf River, and was married to Granny’s sister Evielean. So, Granny dated the stranger behind Grandpa’s back for one year.
