Signature Quilt
My grandmother Anna LuElla Ratcliff (m. #1 Norman Clancy, #2 P. L. Heneghan) was married for the third time in Marshall, Harrison Co., TX to Loyd Livingston Minter on 4 March 1934. I have a signature quilt that appears to have been given to her at that time. My grandmother was called "Lou." She was the teacher of the TEL class of the 2nd Baptist Church in Marshall for many years. I know some of the names were women from that class. Others, I have been unable to identify. Here are the names: Mrs. A. A. Graham; Mrs. Sam Rachher or Racker; Mrs. J. D. Lowe; Mrs. R. P. Garner; Mrs Effie Sutherland, Mrs. Beadelle; Tot? Thompson; Mrs. B. J. Crouse; Mrs. C. G. Guidry; Mrs. V (or U) J O'Leary; Mrs. M. E. Hartell?; Mrs. E. B. Warbuck; Mrs. I. L. Ricks; Mrs. Bell Davis (I remember her); Mrs. J. L. Wascom; Mrs. F. K (or H) McAdorn; Mrs. A. P. Freeman; Naomi Pringle (a niece); Loudelle Womack (a niece); Neleen Hancock (a niece); Mrs. J. L. Ratcliff (sister-in-law); Mrs. D. H. Wilson; Mrs. W. S. Lowe; Buna Hancock (sister); Mrs. R Jessie Elrod (sister); Mrs. O. V. Pringle (sister); Mrs. Cliff Womack (sister); Mrs. Gussie Wallace (sister); and Faye Ratcliff (sister-in-law). Be happy to trace out the signatures of any of these women in whom you are interested. Jane Clancy Debenport |
