1967 River Bend, bur. Schultz Creek Cem. John was one
of the first to provide me with a large amount of
information on the Blake family. How I wish I had had
a means to record the many stories he told me of my
Johnsons in Bibb Co. He talked too fast as he
reminissed, for me to write much down. His memory was
a gold mine of information on the early Johnson, Blake
and Pratt families. He m. Mary Matilda ROGERS.

434 Samna (Sammy) BLAKE b. c. 1865, d. 1873 of yellow fever,
bur. Pratt-Wallace Cem., River Bend. No dates on
tombstone. Ellison, on pg. 155, BIBB COUNTY ALABAMA, THE
FIRST HUNDRED YEARS 1818-1918, mentions the yellow fever
epidemic of 1873. Samna and his sister, Jannie, died in
the epidemic. His tombstone is without dates but says
died aged 8 years. This would make him b. about 1865.
This places his birth between George and Katie, which is
where those who knew him said he belonged.)
435 Jannie BLAKE b. c. 1868, d. 1873 of yellow fever, bur.
Pratt-Wallace Cem. No dates are on her tombstone but it
says d. aged 5 years. This would make her b. in 1868, the
year before Katie. Katie would have been only 3 or 4 in
1873. See discussion under Samna.
436 Katie Beavers BLAKE b. 2 Dec 1869 Bibb Co., d. 3 Jun 1954
Bibb Co., bur. Schultz Creek Cem. She also took the
yellow fever but survived. (In 1949, I met Mrs. Elizabeth
(McKINLEY) PRATT in a hospital in Albuquerque and she
referred me to Miss Katie Blake and Mrs. Theodocia (Pratt)
Green as persons who would know about Blakes and Pratts in
Bibb Co. Mrs. Green wrote that she had met my great
grandfather on one of his trips back to Bibb Co. Miss
Katie said that she was surprised to hear from someone so
far away and was sorry that she did not have much
information on the earlier Blakes.)

Bibb Co., d. 11 Jul 1945, bur. Schultz Creek Cem., m. 25
Dec 1908 West Blocton Mamie EDWARDS b. 5 Dec 1886, d.
The information on this family is only an outline due to
the reluctance of Mrs. BLAKE to giving information to an
outsider. Only the assurance of Lyda (MORSE) KEYES that I
was o.k., made even this possible. The 1910 census
furnished some dates.
