Note added by Clayton Heathcock Jr., February 17, 2019: I haven’t seen Molly in more than 70 years now, but when I was a boy I saw her a lot when we went to Stockdale to see my grandparents. Fred and Mary Ola Jones lived there also and we cousins spent a lot of play time. Over the years I have not been in direct contact with Molly but I have for quite a few years had correspondence with some of her children and even grandchildren who developed an interest in family history. My most recent correspondence was with Bill Ferguson, one of Molly’s sons, who wrote me this brief message: “Momma's husband (Terry Oldham) died December 10, 2017, after battling cancer for most of that year. She really misses him but keeps busy with her Church and family activities. She also designs and makes quilts for new family members as they arrive. Last July, she had some of the younger and stronger men in the family build a stable and fence in a portion of her yard. She bought 3 sheep and a donkey to keep her and her 3 dogs company. She carries hay & feeds them every day and she says she loves it.”
