A FAMILY STORY AT LAFAYE'S EXPENSE:
IN THE MID 1920S ELIZABETH ADAMS MATLOCK, LAFAYE'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER LIVED IN THE HUMPHREY HOME ON 1201 MULBERRY ST. IN ABILENE. SHE WAS ABOUT 80. This story was related by our cousin, Virginia Humphrey Johnston/Osborne, and involves herself and cousin Lafaye Gooch. Virginia was about 5 and LaFaye about 7. Grandma Matlock was around 80. Virginia and LaFaye were playing and rough-housing in the floor and making a lot of noise when grandma told them to stop and be still or she was going to spit tobacco juice all over them. Virginia minded her but LaFaye kept on playing. About that time grandma, who dipped snuff hauled off and spit all over LaFaye. Needless to say that stopped all of the fun and shocked them both. Obviously grandma was a person of her word. Lafaye proceeded to take a bath.
