Margaret Mahala
(1867-1951)
Daughter of; Sarah Ann Burkett & Little Berry Green.
Margaret Mahala Green was named for her maternal aunts, Margaret and Mahala Burkett. She was affectionately called "Maggie". She was about 5'5" tall. She had medium brown hair, blue eyes, a peaches-and-Cream complexion and beautiful hands. She loved her home.
Many of the things she learned in her growing-up years, she continued all her life. She never sat with her hands idle. She did all kinds of needlework--just name it and she could do it. Her quilts took prizes at fairs. A niece said of her that she was a good housekeeper and "that she would get on her hands and knees and scrub floors until they shined".
She was a good diagnostician and rarely needed a doctor. She was never in a hospital.
Mahala first married James (Jim) Alexander Braud in 1885. Maggie sometimes went with her first husband, James A. Braud, when he taught music. He had a large class in the Terryville community. George Houston Woodrome was in the class. The Woodromes and the Brauds became good friends.
When George and Maggie had been widower and widow about five years, they married in 1893, License No. 174, DeWitt County, Texas.
Mahala died January 6, 1951.
