She died before I was born so I never knew her. My Aunt Dora, and Aunt Punkin, and Aunt Isabel, were her sisters. They are all related to the Spiveys in Oklahoma City.

More About SOPHIA ELIZABETH WOODY:
Dedicated to my Grandchildren, Jim, Jackie and Donell
Who you are isn't as important as where
are you are going. This is a true story of my mother, sisters and
brother.
My father, Lymon Kidro Hensley, died at the age of 37
six months before I was born. He had what they called cigarette
consumption, now known as emphysema. My mother was Sophy Isabell Woody
Hensley, (known as Dolly). She married John M. Scott and two girls were
born to them: Jimmie Francis Scott and Eudora Scott. Although they are
my half sisters, they have always been as close as my very own. We have
all been a close-knit family. After Scott died, my mother married my
father, Lymon Kidro Hensley. He had been married before and had two
boys, Forrest and Vernon, who never lived with us. I believe they lived
with their mother and/or grandmother. I met Forrest one time and he was
a fine looking and very good man. I liked him but we never were close. I
never met Vernon. I think at this time he lives in Oklahoma City.
Dolly and Lymon had six children: Iris, Junita (died an infant),
Ceretha (Punkin), Lymon (Brother), Isabell, and me. Our mother died in
1934 at the age of 54. She had cancer of the stomach.
I wish all
you grandchildren and future generations could have known her. She was a
very wise woman, who never minced words, her father, Marion Woody, was
half Cherokee Indian. Her mother was a Benningfield. Mama was not proud
of her Indian heritage. One time in Erick, OK, a man came to our house
to offer her Indian land, but she had to live on it to get it. She told
him No, my kids are wild enough without moving on the reservation.
Dolly did marry again to a man named Ebb Webster at Erick, OK. He
had several children. He was a typical stepfather. Needless to say that
marriage was short, but the Webster children were all sweet, beautiful
kids. We loved them and I corresponded with some of them. I remember
after Mama left their father, the Webster kids brought eggs and milk to
us every chance they got. They dearly loved us and especially Mama. They
still called her Mama.
Lillie Belle (Dory's daughter) is really
my niece but she came to live with us when she was a toddler so she was
part of our immediate family and I always considered in a sister. That
left Lillie, Isabel, Brother, Punk and me at home. Iris and Punkin
worked at the Baker Hotel cooking and serving meals. They always brought
their paycheck to Mama and any food left over from the supper meal.
Believe me that was a real treat to us.
During the depression, we
had it rough as everyone did. We picked cotton and cleaned out chicken
houses for 10 cents and Mama worked at the sewing room set up by the
W.P.A. We all picked cotton until it was gone, then went to school the
next six months. We never went a full year of school.
Mama would
buy ten yards of material and make dresses for all us girls and a shirt
for Brother out of the same material. I remember we would go to church
all sitting on the same row. We looked like the Barnum circus going to
town!
The preacher would talk about the poor little orphans at
Tipton's Orphanage and there we all sat with a red anchor across our
seat! Our bloomers were made out of feed sacks that had an anchor on it.
After picking cotton all day, we would come in from the field and can
fruit to take to the orphans at Tipton's I got so I hated them.
Mama, Jimmie Francis and Brother, were carrying a load of food to Tipton
once in a T-model truck and it turned over in the bar ditch. My brother
and Mama got out OK. Jimmie was having a hard time getting out. Two men
stopped to help and told her to be still as she was bleeding to death.
She said "You darn fools that's beet juice."
We all got ten cents
on Saturday to go the show and have a coke and popcorn. We were lucky
and sometimes got in free at the show. Denk and Molly Maiz owned it and
Punkin worked there part time.
One Saturday in town, I saw
Brother smoking. I ran every step of the way home to tell Mama hoping to
get him in trouble. When he came home, Mama gave him a nickel and told
him to buy himself a sack of golden grain. Said she would never give him
money for smokes again and for him to never let her hear of him bumming
a smoke.
By the time I came along, Jimmie and Dora had already
married and started their own family. Jimmie and her husband L.D. Pierce
would come down from Spearman, TX in the summer in a wheat truck and
take us to Spearman for a few weeks. We would stop on the way and have a
picnic for lunch, as it would take all day to make the trip.
L.D.
was called L. Daddy by us kids and he was as close as a daddy as we ever
had. He used to get Isabell and me on his knee and tell us to sing two
different songs. If we didn't get messed up, he would give us a nickel.
During the depression, the small grocery stores cut everyone's
charge account out with no exceptions. Mama went in and asked for a sack
of flour to be charged until cotton picking time. She was refused. When
she left the store, she picked up a sack of flour and took it home with
her. The Sheriff, Charley Rogers, showed up soon asking Mama why she
stole the flour. She told him "My kids were hungry and, besides, I
didn't steal it. I took it, see here in my little black book I have it
down that I owe him for it. " Rogers left shaking his head returning in
a few hours with two apple baskets full of groceries. My mother took out
each item and put the price in her little black book. Come fall, she
paid Rogers for every cent of groceries he had brought to us.
After Mama died (I was 13), I lived with Iris in California, Jimmie in Spearman, and Isabel in Matador,
TX..

found info on Ina Spivey Who was married to Gene Autry
In 1932 he married Ina May Spivey (who died May 19, 1980), who was the niece of Jimmy Long
Jimmy Long was married to Jessie Spivey. In 1981 he married Jacqueline Ellam, who had been his banker. He had no children by either marriage.

Ina's parents were Lilly and Barney Spivey.
Ina's sister's name was Anita Spivey (later Karnes through marriage). Ina was born near Marlow, Oklahoma date unknown.
The family later moved to Duncan, OK. She married Gene Autry April 1, 1932. She died May 19, 1980. Note Autry's fellow writer Jimmy Long was the Spivey Girls Uncle.

obviously my woodys in woodbine tx
my Mom Juanita went there in the early 70s or 1960s
and visited with a couple of the Great Woody Aunts
But I cannot remember their names|
this Francis Marion Woody would have been Sophie Elizabeth's Woody's Father. He was first child of Merritt B and Margaret Adams Woody
I am trying to track down Cherokee Blood in Sophie Woody
I am told by Hensley Descendents she was 1/2 Cherokee
and turned down Indian Lands in Tulsa OK in the early 1900s
She never registered on the Rolls that I know of. I wonder thru
which line might be Cherokee blood?
The Sophie E Woody Below would have been
Francis Marion Woody's Sister
