Albert Sidney HALLIMAN

                   07/21/2002 was taken from Sylvia Lee Garnett Phillips, grand-daughter of Fannie Halliman.
January 9, 2005, some added remarks:
   She lived a bit longer then grandpa Garnett.  She was a nice lady and was taken care of by her last son, Gyndel, who loved her dearly.  I guess she suffered much with artheritis in her neck and back of her head and had some great pains from it.  Seems like I remember that she let me brush her hair once.  It was very long and very thin.  She was very serious about everything and wanted everything to be just right.. Of course I think I know how that is for I'm of similar nature myself. She was a very religious person and a methodist. I think she loved all of her children pretty much the same, except for Gyndel whom she adored. She did all the thing needed to survive the hard life that she had to live.  She bottled all kinds of fruit, vegetable, meats and made all quilts for beds and there were a lot of people to do this for.  She did have 3 daughters that could help her do all of these thing, while the boys worked the fields with there father.  I remember when we were back in Kentucky, that after breakfast all of us would go out and play so hard that we would get hungry.  We then would  remember that she had some biscuits in the warmer over the stove, so we would try to sneak in and get one of those biscuits to eat and she would catch us and run us out of the house. Then we would go down into the cellar, I can still smell that dank oder in that cellar, there we would get us an apple or something to eat.  I can remember listening to a crystal radio set that they had.  I was pretty young then.  They had no indoor plumbing, so we at night would have to use what they termed a slop jar, to go potty in.

   When she was younger she was very beautiful.  They have a few pictures of her that I will try to get and put into this record. After Grandpa died she moved to a little home in Melber and Unk (Gyndel)  lived there with her.  She's been dead now 33 years.  Seems so long ago.  Unk still misses her.  He has all of her personal things in one room at his mobile in Paducah.  Kind of a shrine for her.  Very nice.
