This is what Lucille (Moon) Law remembers of the days she share with Clara Brooks Tell us about Thomas Brooks and his wife Clara and family?

“Thomas was an honorable man, very quiet man . Very quiet. He was a farmer. I I don’t heard him saying more than one or two words. I don’t remember. While Ms. Clara when she was feeling good she talked more than Mr. Thomas and I don’t know if she told him to shut up. I don’t know. I just remember him been quiet. But none of his boys were quiet. They did not have a sister, so I was like their little sister back them. WH, Howard, Albert Frary, T.J., James Rilus, Alfonzo and Luree. And all of them have passed away now.

Clara died in May 1940. Clara had 7 boys and all through her life there would be a month in which Ms Clara would go to bed and she would not get up for a week or more. And then she would get up and be happy and jolly, and then six months later she would do the same thing again. Her mother Mary was with her so she would take care of the children. Mary Moore outlived her daughter (Clara). Mary Moore stayed at the same house all her live.”
