Remembrances
 
“My father, who is deceased, lamented that his cousin had signed over her property in Troup, TX and moved with her children to (Chicago or California - I can't remember) and one of the victims in the Jamestown massacre. While looking through some old family documents, I spotted her name "Viola Bell Forks." May you rest in peace sweet cousin. ” - Ida Malone Jackson

“Viola could be a little shy at times but was kind and well loved. A sweet and protective mother to her kids. ” - Sarah Rex
