***********************************
Notes from Virginia "Willingham" Matthews:
Story about Tom:
When my grandpa, Tom, was a young boy, he was punished by his father, Lycurgus, by being hung by the neck with his toes barley touching the ground. One of his sisters would sneak out and put a board under his feet, otherwise, none of us would be here now.(Thomas was living with Virginia's
parents when he passed away).
