My Grandmother
was Jimmie Francis Scott.

She died before I was born so I never knew her. My Aunt
Dora, and Aunt Punkin, and Aunt Isabel, were her sisters. They are all related to
the Spiveys in Oklahoma City.

WOODY:
Dedicated to my Grandchildren, Jim, Jackie and Donell
Who you are isn’t as important as where are you are going. This
is a true story of my mother, sisters and brother.
My father, Lymon Kidro Hensley, died at the age of 37 six months
before I was born. He had what they called cigarette consumption, now
known as emphysema. My mother was Sophy Isabell Woody Hensley, (known
as Dolly). She married John M. Scott and two girls were born to them:
Jimmie Francis Scott and Eudora Scott. Although they are my half
sisters, they have always been as close as my very own. We have all
been a close-knit family. After Scott died, my mother married my
father, Lymon Kidro Hensley. He had been married before and had two
boys, Forrest and Vernon, who never lived with us. I believe they lived
with their mother and/or grandmother. I met Forrest one time and he was
a fine looking and very good man. I liked him but we never were close.
I never met Vernon. I think at this time he lives in Oklahoma City.
Dolly and Lymon had six children: Iris, Junita (died an infant),
Ceretha (Punkin), Lymon (Brother), Isabell, and me. Our mother died in
1934 at the age of 54. She had cancer of the stomach.
I wish all you grandchildren and future generations could have
known her. She was a very wise woman, who never minced words, her
father, Marion Woody, was half Cherokee Indian. Her mother was a
Benningfield. Mama was not proud of her Indian heritage. One time in
Erick, OK, a man came to our house to offer her Indian land, but she had
to live on it to get it. She told him “No, my kids are wild enough
without moving on the reservation.”
Dolly did marry again to a man named Ebb Webster at Erick, OK. He
had several children. He was a typical stepfather. Needless to say
that marriage was short, but the Webster children were all sweet,
beautiful kids. We loved them and I corresponded with some of them. I
remember after Mama left their father, the Webster kids brought eggs and
milk to us every chance they got. They dearly loved us and especially
Mama. They still called her Mama.
Lillie Belle (Dory’s daughter) is really my niece but she came to
live with us when she was a toddler so she was part of our immediate
family and I always considered in a sister. That left Lillie, Isabel,
Brother, Punk and me at home. Iris and Punkin worked at the Baker Hotel
cooking and serving meals. They always brought their paycheck to Mama
and any food left over from the supper meal. Believe me that was a real
treat to us.
During the depression, we had it rough as everyone did. We picked
cotton and cleaned out chicken houses for 10 cents and Mama worked at
the sewing room set up by the W.P.A. We all picked cotton until it was
gone, then went to school the next six months. We never went a full year
of school.
Mama would buy ten yards of material and make dresses for all us
girls and a shirt for Brother out of the same material. I remember we
would go to church all sitting on the same row. We looked like the
Barnum circus going to town!
The preacher would talk about the poor little orphans at Tipton’s
Orphanage and there we all sat with a red anchor across our seat! Our
bloomers were made out of feed sacks that had an anchor on it. After
picking cotton all day, we would come in from the field and can fruit to
take to the orphans at Tipton – I got so I hated them.
Mama, Jimmie Francis and Brother, were carrying a load of food to
Tipton once in a T-model truck and it turned over in the bar ditch. My
brother and Mama got out OK. Jimmie was having a hard time getting
out. Two men stopped to help and told her to be still as she was
bleeding to death. She said “You darn fools – that’s beet juice.”
We all got ten cents on Saturday to go the show and have a coke
and popcorn. We were lucky and sometimes got in free at the show. Denk
and Molly Maiz owned it and Punkin worked there part time.
One Saturday in town, I saw Brother smoking. I ran every step of
the way home to tell Mama hoping to get him in trouble. When he came
home, Mama gave him a nickel and told him to buy himself a sack of
golden grain. Said she would never give him money for smokes again and
for him to never let her hear of him bumming a smoke.
By the time I came along, Jimmie and Dora had already married and
started their own family. Jimmie and her husband L.D. Pierce would come
down from Spearman, TX in the summer in a wheat truck and take us to
Spearman for a few weeks. We would stop on the way and have a picnic
for lunch, as it would take all day to make the trip.
L.D. was called L. Daddy by us kids and he was as close as a daddy
as we ever had. He used to get Isabell and me on his knee and tell us
to sing two different songs. If we didn’t get messed up, he would give
us a nickel.
During the depression, the small grocery stores cut everyone’s
charge account out with no exceptions. Mama went in and asked for a
sack of flour to be charged until cotton picking time. She was
refused. When she left the store, she picked up a sack of flour and
took it home with her. The Sheriff, Charley Rogers, showed up soon
asking Mama why she stole the flour. She told him “My kids were hungry
and, besides, I didn’t steal it. I took it, see here in my little black
book I have it down that I owe him for it.” Rogers left shaking his head
returning in a few hours with two apple baskets full of groceries. My
mother took out each item and put the price in her little black book.
Come fall, she paid Rogers for every cent of groceries he had brought to
us.
After Mama died (I was 13), I lived with Iris in California,
Jimmie in Spearman, and Isabel in Matador, TX..

obviously my woodys in woodbine tx
my Mom Juanita went there in the early 70s or 1960s
and visited with a couple of the Great Woody Aunts
But I cannot remember their names|
this Francis Marion Woody would have been Sophie Elizabeth's Woody's
Father. He was first child of Merritt B and Margaret Adams
Woody
I am trying to track down Cherokee Blood in Sophie Woody
I am told by Hensley Descendents she was 1/2 Cherokee
and turned down Indian Lands in Tulsa OK in the early 1900s
She never registered on the Rolls that I know of. I wonder thru
which line might be Cherokee blood?
