America Henson and Nora - Bridgeport, Alabama

'"America Henson never married but my Aunt Nora Madge Abbott Williams used to stay with her. She used to make clothes for her. In Aunt Nora's words she was a precious lady. They lived across the hill from the Abbott family. One of them lived on NUBBIN Ridge (so called) because the corn grew into little nubs"'
