William Lee Swallows, s/o Andrew Forest Swallows (1864-1951)& Sarah Curtis (1865-1953).
(Source: Ancestry.com: "Behind every good man that makes it must be a good woman' that is the way it was with Will and Mattie Swallows. Mattie kept the home (she was an excellent cook) and with the help of Roddy Darty she supervised the care of the big lawn in front of the house and the garden in the back along with the chicken yard. But when Elizabeth went off to college and Martha was in high school she decided to start a new career. She was
appointed Postmaster for Algood, Tennessee. She served 22 1/2 years before retirement." Transcribed from notes by James W Murphy Sr.)
(Source: Ancestry.com:"I told you to give Cupid a chance. Mattie Irene Hutcheson married William Lee Swallows July 13, 1911. They had three children, Hubert Lee their first child was born February 22, 1914 but died two days later. Daughter Sara Elizabeth was born Februay 4, 1916 and Daughter Martha Capterton was born February 22, 1922. After being a drug salesman for the Eli Lilly Co. Will decided he wanted to be a lawyer so he attended Cumberland Law School in Lebanon, Tennessee and received his law
degree June 1, 1927. He set up a law office in Cookeville, Tennessee and worked as a school board chairman, state representative to the general assembly and was serving as Putnam County judge at the time of his death. I feel sure that Mattie never dreamed that she would serve as Postmaster of Algood, Tennessee for 22 1/2 years before she moved". Transcribed from James Murphy's notes).
