Bio

Minnie Ola Platt married James "Hardy" Platt on October 11, 1903 in Lovelady, TX. She was the proud mother and he was the proud father of thirteen children. The first one was born in 1904 and the last one was born 1928. James "Hardy" was a farmer and she was the housewife. They had two places they farmed and where the children were raised. They owned a farm in the country out near Center Hill Cemetery which they farmed in the summer and they moved to town in Lovelady during the winter so the children would be closer to the schools and wouldn't have a far walk. Together they raised their farm animals for the family and they grew peanuts and cotton which they sold and used to swap for other things they needed. Minnie Ola made all of the children's clothing which later led to her making quilts which were passed down to her grandchildren. After all of the children moved away, Minnie Ola loved to travel. Anytime a child was willing to come and get her she was ready to go. She traveled all the way to Seattle in a car and one time she and a grand-daughter rode the bus.
