• Notes

  She has a single tomb next to her mother Barbara Allen (Kennedy-Wilson) Haralson and her step-father J. A. Haralson, Sr. in Sand Flat Cemetery, Smith Co, TX. Rex Kirby Winnnie Mae Wilson, born in 1904, (age 25 in 1930) appears on the 1930 census for Travis Co, TX as an Inmate at the Austin State School on Camp Mabry Rd. The census was taken April 11, 1930. Ruby McClenny Kirby told Rex that it was thought that Winnie Mae was mentally retarded and was sent tot he State School. Since she was still living at home in 1920, 15 years of age, she would have been placed in the State School after 1910. Rex Kirby has an old pencil note to the effect that after Winnie was in the State School several years, it was discovered that she was hard of hearing and for that reason had not learned to speak clearly. After corrective measures were takento improve her hearing, she learned rapidly and was sent home. Rex does not know what year this happened nor if this version or condirion is correct. - hat
