This story was related in a email
letter from Jewell Alline Hutton to Robert D. Morris: "Miranda Caffey (Babe) helped my grandfather raise
his children each time he was widowed. My mother (Gertrude (Gertie) Alline Caffey) recalled how Babe
would spend days at a time staying with them. She would mend, make new clothes, cook and just generally
be there. My Uncle Burl said he remembered her with great affection. My grandfather's first wife died
of cancer. He married the next woman who had been his housekeeper during first wife's illness. The
second one died in childbirth and then he got Mary M to marry him. She almost died early in their marriage
from Typhoid fever. This illness left her very crippled and she had to crawl around the house for years.
My mother had to do the washings, clean house, cook meals, etc before and after school. Mother was
just 8 years when Grandpa Caffey died."
