Mary and Martha Biddix

Two of the babies born to Melissa Ardella and Robert Marion Biddix were twins.

Ma and Papa would have two sets of twins, Mary and Martha as well as Carter and Sam.
The following came from an interview with my grandmother, Marion Ardella Biddix Hall and was from stories she had been told by her Mama:

"Martha lived for about an hour and Mary lived about four days. I don't know what was wrong with them - whether they were premature or what. Mama had a little gray gown my Grandmaw Biddix had made for one of the twins. It was straight and had red binding around the neck. I don't know what they were buried in but Mama kept that gown in the trunk."

Both are buried in the same grave and with the same stone at McKinney Gap Cemetary on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
