Notes for Mary Matilda "Tilda" P. LINDLEY
Note from a conversation with Thelma Schoolfield and Juanita McManus, May 2006: "Eliza always wanted to see the ocean. They packed her up and drove her to the coast in a wagon. They lived in Chatham County, so that was a very long trip by wagon. Great-grandmother Eliza was so excited, and stood looking out at the ocean so long that the waves washed the sand out from under her feet and she fell and broke her hip. They put her in a chair in that wagon with a broken hip and drove her all the way back to Elwood's and carried her in on that chair." More about the trip from Thelma's notes in the Lindley notebook: Gid Scott and Mary [Eliza's sister and brother-in-law] had come on a visit from Indiana and they had gone to see they ocean and they returned on a train. Granddaughter Manie Capps went to Eliza's home in Chatham County to care for her until her hip mended.
