Susan had a hard life.
A sweet Christian lady.
Her husband was hit by a load of logs and died.
She was left with five kids.
Jim Bane was hit with a baseball and died.
Jones had appendicitis and died.
She said she needed someone to "manage her business"
and she married that old man Collingsworth.
Well he did "manage her business"
Cut timber off of her land and moved it to his.
He ran that bunch of girls like a slave camp.
His son would not get along with her son
so her son left home at a very young age.
Her son kicked Sue out of the big house
after he died.
Never settled the property with her kids.
God will reward.
