My sincere sympathy on the passing of Mrs. Ruby. I am the daughter of old friends of Ruby & Sump Cornwell. My parents (Joe & Leila Moss) and my Aunt Geneva Wellmon, all of Hickory Grove, S.C., were ole Bleachery hands who raised their families while working there. Since their age would be 92 and above, I seldom see a name I recognize and remember as their friends. I do know Mrs. Ruby & Mr. Sump, though. They were very sweet folks -- always nice to me. I will say prayers for you and hope that your good memories and Faith will comfort you at all times. My parents & Aunt Geneva passed many years ago and I thank God for giving me to them as a daughter. May God bless you all.
