Notes:

Leander Travis Hutcheson Sr. married Alma Freiley in 1910. None of his children approved, or got along well with her - to say the least. My (Robin's) Grandmother, Edith, was 11 at the time, and she told us that her stepmother regularly threatened to send her away to an orphanage. At age 98, Edith still resented her step mother bitterly.

James Murphy (husband of L.T.'s granddaughter Elizabeth Swallows) reports:
None of Leander Travis Sr.'s children should have married "Miss" Alma and as soon as they could they went on their own. After Grandpa died Jan. 16, 1934 she never shared anything from the home with any child. There was one exception: "Miss Alma" after some time married a Mr. Howard and lived on the Sparta-Cookeville highway and then one day in the 1950's Mattie Hutcheson Swallows stopped and asked her to give the family Bible with all the family records to her. She agreed to do so. It was rebound and the broken sheets were laminated.
