Mittye was born to Pronce Ellis and Velma George (Finley) Gullegde. She was the oldest of four children. Mittye married Raymond Ware in 1924. Together they raised two daughters, Kathryn and Betty. In the 1930 U.S. Census, Mittye was living in St. Clair County, Alabama with her husband, Ray and their two daughters. In the 1940 U.S. Census, her and her family were living at 1605 29th Avenue North in Birmingham. Between 1940 and 1945, Mittye and Ray divorced and she married Jones "Dickie" Edward Morris in Alabama. Not long after they were married they moved to Louisiana where her oldest daughter along with her family would soon follow. As you see in the photo above Mittye loved her coffee. From sewing to painting an entire house there was very little she could not do and everything she did she did to perfection. Mittye did have some Native American blood and was taught at least one song in that specific native tongue Mittye would sing to her daughters at bedtime. Sadly, it was never written down or remembered - this is just one small example of losing precious memories/history through the generations.
