Suzie Crabtree Kearns Drummond biographical letter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Date: Sometime in the early 1980’s. I (JK) had written her asking her for information and this was her response:<\/p>\n

…I know very little of my ancestors but will try to tell you all I can about them.<\/p>\n

My Grandfather was born in Hall Co., Ga. He was married to a girl (or lady) named Ann. I don’t know her last name. His name was Irvin Crabtree. His wife, Ann. They had several sons–my father, and I only know one of their names–was Sam. They were English and French. The Crabtree family originated in England.<\/p>\n

My father’s name–Adam Bell Crabtree. Mother–Alice Virginia Jones. They were married and lived all their lives in Whistler, Ala. 7 miles from Mobile.<\/p>\n

My mother’s name–Alice Virginia Ranagier. Her mother was named Martha Jane Jones. Father–Andrew Jackson Ranagier.<\/p>\n

Her mother’s name was (I am repeating myself)–well, was 3 children from their union–John Wesley Ranagier, Alice Virtinia Ranagier, Henry ? Ranagier.<\/p>\n

My mother and father had 9 children–6 boys, 3 gals. Adam, John, Mary V., George, Charles, Martha Ann, Harry, Lee and Susan (me).<\/p>\n

My father died at the age of 47. Mother was neare 85. They were buried in Whistler, Ala. Cemetery. My father was a painter by trade and also a musician–played the violin. My father was fair skinned–blue eyes–black hair and about 5’4″ I guess. I was 5 years old when he went away and I do not remember. But my sister told me about him. My mother had brown hair, fair skin and gray eyes–she was a very modest person and read her bible daily until the last days–I am the only one left.<\/p>\n

I had 6 children–R. G. Jr. (Rhett Goode), Mary Alice, twins (Dorothy and James Dodson–he was lost in the war in 1942, Carribean Sea), Selden Stephens Kearns, Jacques Merlin Kearns.<\/p>\n

My first husband, Rhett Goode Kearns, was an alcoholic. We divorced in 1936. I remarried in ’43 to Martin Madison Drummond. He was good to me and left me very comfortably fixed to live, thanks be to God for that.<\/p>\n

Dorothy and Mary Alice both died of cancer. Some day I’ll tell you all about them. They were beautiful girls (like me, ha).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
