John's Twin

FROM BARBER FAMILY MEMORIES "The other Jones children and probably Aunt Liza held her third as long as she lived then it was sold at her death. She had some kind of had spells after she married Charlie Jones, but never before that. One Sunday a few months after her her marriage while the rest of the family had gone to church and she was alone a married stepson came in and having some complaint against her gave her sonic abusive language and badly upset her. When Uncle Charlie got home she was ready to collapse and that night she had this first convulsion. They would come on her at most anytime and she had them as long as she lived sometimes she would go for weeks or perhaps a few months, but they always came back and after she would recover she would he hazy and go off to sleep and maybe would sleep hours. She rarely mentioned them only as "my old sick spells".
