GERTRUDE HIGGINBOTHAM WAS THE DAUGHTER OF JOSEPH MALACHI HIGGINBOTHAM AND CATHERINE (KATTIE) FOURACKER HIGGINBOTHAM. I MET HER IN ABOUT 1940 WHEN SHE WAS OUR NEIGHBOR ON TROUT RIVER IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. SHE HAD THAT QUIET JOY THAT SMALL CHILDREN RECOGNIZE AND LOVE. THAT'S HOW SHE GOT HER NICKNAME, "HIGGINBOT." IN 1940, CHILDREN WERE TAUGHT TO CALL THEIR ELDERS BY THEIR LAST NAME. "HIGGINBOT" WAS ABOUT ALL A TODDLER COULD GET OUT. SOON EVERYONE CALLED HER HIGGINBOT.
THOMAS W. HIGGINBOTHAM AND STEPHEN JEFFERSON HIGGINBOTTHAM WERE TWO OF HER BROTHERS WHO REMAINED BACHELORS AND SHARED THE HOMESTEAD WITH HER. THOMAS WAS AN EXPERT CARPENTER WHO HAD HIS OWN BUSINESS. JEFF HAD A TRUCK FARMING BUSINESS. HIGGINBOT NEVER MARRIED EITHER.
HIGGINBOT MAINTAINED THE UNIQUENESS OF THE FLORIDA LANDSCAPE IN HER RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. HER DRIVE LED TO AN OLD IRON GATE THAT HAD A DELIGHTFUL MOAN THAT ENDED IN AN EAR PIERCING SQUEAK. HER BLACK AND WHITE TERRIER WOULD BE QUICK TO COME UP. HIS NAME WAS SPOT.
HIGGINBOTHAM WAS VERY MUCH AT HOME WITH TALL PALM AND PINE TREES THAT SHELTERED AZALEA BEDS AND OTHER DELIGHTFUL GREENERY THAT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD SPRUNG UP NATURALLY. HIGGINBOT WAS AN AWESOME NEIGHBOR. SHE WAS LOVED BY ALL, ESPECIALLY SMALL CHILDREN.
HIGGINBOT, YOUR VERSE IS: "JESUS SAID, LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME, AND DO NOT HINDER THEM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE." MATTHEW 19:14
