My father, Austin Jackson Knowles, was born on his father's farm 4 miles from Flomaton, Alabama. He was the 5th born child of John and Nannie Knowles. His older sister, Ellen met and married Gordon Puckett, which was from Georgia and was a foreman over a Crew that were building Bridges in Alabama. He went to work with Uncle Gordon and while building a Bridge across the Coosa River from Talladega County to StClair County, he met and married Gertie Mae Hayes, the daughter of Fred and Comellor Viola (Mel Smith) Hayes. They lived in Saraland, Mobile County, Alabama for a long time, where their first 3 children were born, the first in 1943. After that they settled on land that was willed to him by his father before he died in 1956. My 2nd older brother and myself were delivered at home there by Dr. Abernathy from Flomaton, Alabama. Austin was Flomaton's Ice man. He passed out with a Brain Stroke in the Ice truck, with his Nephew, Robert driving. Robert rushed him to Abernathy Memorial Hospital in Flomaton, where he died in July of 1966.
