Memories
Jessie Woodson Crutcher Carrell


Jessie Woodson Crutcher, age 14, circa 1907

Jessie Carrell, my grandmother wrote this autobiography in 1969. She recounts stories that her mother told of experiences during the Civil War and her own remembrances of her childhood and early life in Tennessee and Texas.

Her daughter, Wilma Carrell Browning, gave her a leather-bound book and asked her to write her memories. She finished writing this journal in March of 1969 and died peacefully in her sleep in November, 1969. At this time she was at her home, in the post office, at Samnorwood, Texas. She had lived alone for seventeen years following the death of her husband, Solomon Jocephas Carrell in 1952.

Genealogy




I wanted the children in our family to be able to hear the voice of their great-great grandmother.

She had an excellent memory and when she was in her 70's,
could recite poems and scriptures she had learned as a child,
as evidenced by these recordings made in 1968.
