Little Cake known for large families: The U.S. Grants 2007-11-09 - Little Cake Community, District 1, Adair County, KY - Photo From the collection of Hilda Smith. MARY (BRYANT) & ULYSSES SIDNEY GRANT FAMILY: Hilda Smith writes, "Mary (Bryant) Grant not only grew up in a large family in Little Cake; she and my grandfather, Ulysses Sidney Grant also raised 11 children in Little Cake as well. Pictured with her are 10 of her living children. Front, from left: Betty, Rebecca, Granny Grant (as we called her), Sandra, Judy and Bernice. Back: Hershel, Danny, Sidney (my Dad), Carlie and Richard. An interesting note is that I had a hard time when I was younger getting my friends to believe that U.S. Grant was my Grandpa." The picture of Mary Grant and children was actually taken around 1974. Carlie, the son of Mary, had left home as a young man to join the military. He was stationed near Spokane, WA where he was married and settled down. This was his first trip back home since the end of World War II and the first time for many in the family to meet him. The one child missing in the photo was Edwin Travis who died at the young age of 2 1/2 years on 4-29-1932. Read More... | Permalink | Comments?
