Mollie and Will Jr.

Mollie Hughes Burton (b. 1908), was my maternal great grandmother who lived in Muldoon, Texas. Thankful to have several images of her posing and showing her style. This collage includes text she wrote on the back of one of her photos, "Sour lemon today, o boy. Don't fool with me." those words gave me a sense of her personality and a clue to where my tenacity comes from.

Will Burton, Jr. was the only son of Mollie and the brother of my grandmother. He wrote these words in a letter to my grandmother during the summer of 1939, sharing his experience of the 4th grade. He died the following year after falling from a tree. These images show both his innocence and mischief.
