Grandma Wilson was a true pioneer woman -- Before she could prepare dinner, she would take her 22 rifle and go out hunting for a rabbit or squirrel to cook for their dinner. So, don't complain about needing to run out to the grocery before you can prepare dinner, just think about Grandma "Minnie Pearl" Wilson grabbing her rifle and going out hunting for a squirrel or rabbit just so she could 'fix' dinner. 😊
This next picture is of Vern & Maymie taken the same day as the picture above of Grandma Wilson. Vern was 8 years old and Maymie was 6 years old. They are standing in front of a cellar on the Rooker Ranch.
Maymie was wearing a bright blue dress with a white lace collar. Their dog, old Spot, is standing next to them. Vern is holding the 22 rifle his mother would use to go out shooting squirrels & rabbits for their dinner.
Minnie Pearl Hatfield Wilson was the daughter of Martin Monroe Hatfield and Nancy Abigail McNeil. The Hatfields are part of the Wilson family line.

I would really like to speak with you. The picture of Vern and Maymie, that is my great aunt and uncle. Their baby sister Elma, I'm her youngest daughter, Lavina's, granddaughter.
I thought that was super cool how she would go out with her 22 rifle kill a rabbit or squirrel for dinner. I wish I got to meet her!
I have enjoyed reading your stories about our family history. I appreciate all the work you have done! Minnie Pearl is my 2nd great-grandmother.
