Miss Ella Gant was the daughter of Mr. Melvin P. Gant and her stepmother was Miss Georgia Jones before her marriage to Mr. Gant, and I think she was one of the best women I ever knew. Everyone called her Aunt Georgia. Miss Ella was a fine young lady of about eighteen years of age at that time and was beloved by all. She Married Mr. John Ledford and now lives in Charlotte. Mr. Ledford died several years ago.

She was also popular among the young people. She died when she was about nineteen years of age. Mrs. A. G. Gant was a Browning before her marriage to Mr. Gant. She was a fine woman.

In boarding in their home several months and I was treated as though I was one of the family.

Miss Rhoda Webber was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Webber. Mrs. Webber was a Gant before her marriage.

I boarded in the Webber home for quite a while and it was a fine place to stay.
