• Notes

  From W.D. Sharp - According to Ozell's oldest daughter, Marlyn, Ozell and sister Elsie ran away from home when they were  eighteen and sixteen respectfully .  They changed their names (not legally) to Vera (Ozell) and Dorothy (Elsie) to keep their father from finding them.  They went Birmingham; got a job in a restaurant; however, men kept making passes so they quit.  Elsie went back home.  Ozell had heard of Augusta, Arkansas, so she went to the bus station, purchased a ticket to the place not knowing a person there.  She got a job picking cotton for the lady who she was also boarding with.  Horace Crawford's sisters were also working in the same cotton field.  Vera, as the Crawfords knew, her got very sick.  The Crawford sisters told their mother of Vera's illness.  Mrs. Crawford instructed Horace to "hitch up the mules" she was going to get her.  She brought her home with her and would not let her return to work until she was able.  She lived with the Crawfords for two years before she and Horace were married.  After marriage they lived in the home for another five more years.
