Anecdote	Note: Gladys also wrote about events leading up to her marriage, this is taken from her journals: "Melville [,LA] was having a big Leap Year dance. My teacher was dating Herman and she asked me to ask Herman for a date for the dance as she had a date with someone else but wanted Herman to be there, so I did, which led to more dates. Finally on September 13, 1925 led to marriage." I recall Gladys telling me that she was riding with some friends, they were going to Lake Charles, LA from Melville. On the way out of town they saw Herman and stopped to chat. He decided to go with them. On the way Herman and Gladys decided to get married, and that's why they married in Oberlin, LA.
Anecdote	Note: This excerpt is from Granny's Writings: "Mae and I went to school in Forest Hill, LA. The school bus was a covered wagon, drawn by two old gray mules. In the winter we nearly froze. For some comfort, we would heat a brick for each of us to take on the school bus to put our feet on. In the warm weather we would get out of the bus about a mile from school, cut through the woods to pick flowers."
