• Notes

  Dolor W. Herring Miss Josephine Carter 24 Jun 1909 I-384 Dolar and Josephine were second cousins and 3rd cousins once removed, in addition to being husband and wife. Their Simco grandmothers were sisters, and their Herring great grandfathers were brothers, originally from Albemarle Co., Virginia in the early 1830's. Marriage date in her obituary is not correct. My grandmother was a very tall lady. She always told me to stand up straight... I remember when she moved from the Court Street house back to the 9th Street house, it was probably in the mid 1950's. She rented the upstairs bedrooms out at the 9th Street house. That house is now restored and has a historical landmark plaque on the front. That's the house my father grew up in. I remember playing there as a child. My grandmother used to tell me silly old fashioned rhymes, that I still remember. She took me a few times to visit her cousins, Emma Sitton Thurston and Addie Sitton Sartor. They lived in a very old house on Nichols Street, and I wore gloves and had tea at their house. Emma and Addie lived together all their lives. My grandmother was a very old fashioned lady, something I'm very glad of, having the chance to learn the maners of proper ladies of the past. She didn't particularly like the name Josephine, she went by Jo. My brother and I called her GrannyJo. She would come to our house in Illinios for a couple of weeks every summer. I remember driving to the train station with my dad to pick her up. She always arrived wearing a little fur collar and a hat. I don't remember ever seeing her go out without a hat. She always wore perfume that smelled like lillies, I can still remember the smell. She always called my father D.W. never David. Every time we went to Missouri to visit her, we always went out to Hillcrest cemetery to put flowers on the graves. She always went to where her daughters and husband were buried, then to where her parents and sisters were. We never went to any of the other Herring graves tho, I don't know why. She played the organ at the Methodist Church in Fulton for many years. My dad got her a television in the late 1950's and she loved to watch Lawrence Welk. I was only 10 when she died, but I remember her very well.
