Mary Loggins loved them, taught them Christian values and that family meant everything. They became fine young people, decent, honest and hard working. The girls knew how to cook great meals and how to maintain a home. They all helped her on her farm and somehow they managed even during those hard times.

      Larrissa Cordelia Wright married Charles Ayers "Jack" Wood, a young farmer. "Jack" and Cordelia Wood and their children lived with Grandma Mary Ann Jackson (Carter) [Gary] Loggins.
