Watt Espy's Mother

Mary Jordan (Scott) Espy/Warren
1912-1958

Mother had been living in Texas at the time of her death.  Daddy (Major Espy), who had long been divorced from her, had her body brought by train from Texas to Alabama.   She is buried in the FBC of Headland Cemetery.  - Watt Espy, from interview notes

Mary was 1/4 Cherokee Indian.

Her grave on the right.  Next to her is her mother's grave.  And behind them are Mary's grandparents.  That grandfather was a doctor.  Incidentally, her father Walter Scott, who's buried in the Methodist cemetery, was also a doctor, as were his two brothers.  The link at the bottom will take you to more on the Scotts.
