MAMA'S FATHERM WILLIAM C. GIBSON MAMA'S MOTHER, IDA SALINA MORRIS MAMA: I DON'T KNOW THE AGE SHE WAS IN THIS PICTURE. MAMA NEVER KNEW HER REAL FATHER, THE STORY IS THAT WHEN GRANDMA WAS PREGNANT WITH MAMA, SHE CAME HOME ONE DAY AND FOUND HIM WITH ANOTHER WOMAN AND SHE WOULD NEVER LET HIM SEE MAMA OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER. IN 1955 MAMA AND AUNT SALLIE WENT TO MORRISTOWN, MINN. TO BE IN THEIR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AND MAMA MET HER FATHER'S AUNT AND FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD BECOME A FAMOUS DOCTOR IN WASHINGTON STATE AND HE HAD NEVER MARRIED AGAIN. I DON'T THINK HER STEP-FATHER, GRANDPA HEADY, ADOPTED HER BECAUSE ON HER MARRIAGE LICENSE SHE IS LISTED AS LUCILE GIBSON. MORRISTOWN WAS NAMED AFTER MAMA'S GREAT GRANDPA JONATHAN MORRIS WHO STARTED THE TOWN. |
