Notes for FLORA MAY COLLINS: !Death record says mother is "Bertha Wolf"----Birth and/or death records have been located and obtained for every child Andrew and Louisa had (even the ones by their second marriages), but nothing for Flora. Flora always said that when she was 10 years old, she left home and lived with an aunt and uncle---she cooked, cleaned, did laundry & took care of their baby for her keep. Flora told her daughter Betty that when she was 13, she went home to visit her mother. She laid in bed that night and heard her mother crying "please don't hit me anymore". The next morning she went into her mother bedroom to check on her and her mother was dead. Flora sid that David Grant Cochran had beaten her mother to death. Every bone in her body was broke. Flora said that her mother was only 4 ft. tall, very small and pettit. -------I have found nothing that verifies this story-------------------------------------------------------

Flora also told Betty that she was married once before----Doyle Sanders------------- She said that she had one miscarriage and one stillborn child by Doyle. (I have this divorce record also). Flora said that Doyle beat her------at their divorce trial the judge asked Doyle "why do you hit her?" Doyle replied "because she won't give me any children".----------this is what Flora has said.---------the judge then responded "Man she's already given you two, what more do you want". *****I have not a clue what this means***** I found a birth record for a boy-----born ALIVE------parents Flora Collins and Doyle Sanders. There was no death record. I also have a picture of Flora at a rather young age with two little girls, somebody had wrote on the picture Flora and Sanders Girls.
