Miss Nettie & her mother (Mattie) lived close to my granny Eula's house. My earliest memories of Miss Mattie & Miss Nettie are when they lived way back in the woods near the junction of Crawford Rd. and Rock House Rd. Walking up the dirt road with the air perfumed by maypop blossoms and wild plum trees seemed the best of times.
There was a huge oak tree by their house back in the woods. I remember it filled with 1000's of migrating (black) birds making so much noise you couldn't hear normal conversation.
Later Miss Nettie lived a stone's throw down the road from granny's house (in the house Mr. & Mrs. Wilbur Neill had lived in). Miss Nettie & granny had a daily ritual of watching "As the World Turns" and other "soaps" during their midday break. Often breaking up cornbread in big glasses of buttermilk (the first TV dinner) so they missed none of their favorite operas.
Like many of their rural generation, they often had a pinch of snuff between cheek and gum and the ever present spit can by their foot. Staying busy - they sometimes shelled peas or butter beans into their aprons as they watched TV.
I still have a ball point pen with "praying hands" that Miss Nettie gave me (on granny's back porch) when I graduated.
Miss Nettie was a lady with deep spiritual faith and the contentment in life that so few achieve. She had the old time "Rock of Ages" faith that only a woman who wore a sun bonnet all her life and walked to town (Senoia) when it pleased her (into her 80's) could have.
Miss Nettie married Luther Addy (Luke) Couch (b. April 1892) on June 13, 1925 in Coweta County, Georgia. He was the son of "Babe" Zemariah (son of Wash Couch) & Susan Slaughter Couch.
Nettie is the daughter of Will (supposed to be from Cherokee NC?) & Matie Quick Cooper. Her siblings were, May (md Johnny Griffin); Moses (md 1-Lillie Clyde Williford 2-Mary Turner; TC "Uncle T" (md ?); Tom (md ?); Grady (md ?) died in WWI; Ellis went to TX; Albert went to south GA.
This gravestone has been placed since the Cemetery book was published in the 1980s and the grave will have to be located in person to determine its Row and Plot location.
