I thought I might should write some of this shit down. Memory and everything.
My mother's father died in 1938 when mamma was 10 years old. He had grown kids up in Georgia older than Granny. When he died, his will left all the land to Granny, and the children from her womb. {love the old legal stuff}
A few months after he died, James, his oldest son showed up to claim the land. He raped my 13 year old aunt, and threatened to cut Granny's throat. My uncle was 11 or 12 at the time. He ran to the nearest house with a phone {2 miles on a cold winter night in his night clothes} and called the sheriff.
The sheriff came out and arrested James. But the next day turned him loose with a letter for Granny to sign to drop the charges. He came back out to the farm. Really pissed this time. He started abusing granny and my uncle came out of the bedroom with the old double barrel shotgun. The first shot hit James in the hand. My uncle followed him into the yard and shot him again, killing him.
Mamma didn't tell me this story until not long before she died.
