Charlotte Mae Hyde turns 100

In the late afternoon of  May 22, 1914, Annie Hyde went out to milk the cow.  As she headed for the cow, she began having stomach pains.  She turns and says to no one in particular," go get Dr. Welchel, I think the time has come."  She goes on to milk the cow as Dr. Welchel comes into the yard.  Annie tells him to smoke his pipe while she milked the cow.  When she was through, she turns to Dr. Welchel and says, "OK, I am ready. Lets get it over with."  A short time later, Charlotte Mae Hyde was delivered into this world.  She was the second of eight children to be born to Annie Odessa WALDREP Hyde.  She is presently the oldest living descendant of James Lafayette WALDREP.
