Notes |
- Mable Clair Thomas Wright wrote in a letter to her nephew Forrest, posted on 3-31-1947:
- "Grandfather's (Abel Thomas) people were Quakers first. Grandfather wanted to play the violin but his father wouldn't let him, because they didn't believe in music. His father said that the Devil was in the violin. They didn't believe in having organs in their churches. They just sang hymns. Even when we went to G.C. to live, the United Presbyterianswho had a church over by Leopolds Hospital, sang without an organ or piano in 1910. "
- She also wrote, "I must tell you Grandfahter's nickname was Tuck. He batched when he was going to college and ate mostly beans, and he used to write poetry for people and buy his candy. He was great for candy but had no money for it.
