Tracing Cindy's family history, the Kendricks




Another family photo from the past:  Cindy's Great, Great Grandma Kendrick is pictured with her children.  Mary Catherine Monk Kendrick was born in 1867 and died in 1942 of a stroke. She was married to Jesse Clint Kendrick, who was born in 1859 and died in 1912 of pneumonia.  
The three daughters in back (l-r) are Josie Viola (who was Cindy's Great Grandmother), Gertie, and Myrtie.  Standing to her right is Gussie (Fannie Augusta) and to her left are Pete and Ruby. Mary Catherine was expecting twins at the time of this photo.  
Josie Viola Kendrick would later marry into the Franks family.  Her daughter Mildred Lorena Franks would marry into the Baggett family (Cindy's grandmother was known by all as Mam-Ma)
