      Mattie was a twin to Hattie. She was a Registered Nurse and worked in Washington, D. C. for many years.
      From JHA-- Mom says Aunt Mattie was married three times. This is a story my dad, Dice, used to tell about Aunt Mattie and her Uncle John Labon Armstrong. The family was gathered together. Aunt Mattie was back fresh from Washington, D.C. wir Nursing degree and Big plans. Dad said Uncle John looked at her and said" Mattie, you remind me of one of those butterflies out there in my barn yard--you will flutter from flower to flower and land on the first cowpie in sight"!!! Dad said she did just that-five times- that none of her husbands were any account!!!!
