(Written from the memories of Thelma "Darlene" Liles Silcox. Dates arefrom the family bible of Thelma Josephine Turner Liles, in herhandwriting)

Thelma Josephine Turner Liles. Born March 26, 1925. Died July 30,1979, at home in Hume, Il., of heart problems. Burial at Fairfieldcemetery, Newman IL. She was the daughter of James Lester Turner andAmanda Lou Prudence Bramblett Turner. At just fifteen years old, byRev. John Phillips on October 5, 1940 in Coalfield, TN she marriedHerman w. Liles, age 22. She gave life to twelve children and had manymiscarriages. Her favorite color was red and when she was "dressed up"always wore rered lipstick. She loved to read and would read anythingshe got her hands on. I believe the eight grade was the last year shehad of formal education, but she was very intelligent. Far beyondanything she could have learned in a school. Mostly she loved herchildren and grandchildren. She also loved plants and flowers, rosesand peonies, and growing a garden and she could make anything grow.She was always raising chickens; her favorite was the black andwhite Domeneckers. She loved old mmovies and knew all the actors lifestories and was a great story teller of her childhood memories. Shewas a very good cook and made everything from scratch, never measuringanything. She could stretch a penny further than anyone I haveeverheard o of and loved a bargain. She could walk up to a strange onthe street and talk to anyone. While talking to them be looking attheir clothes, go home and cut out the clothes without a pattern andmade most of my clothes as a kid. She absolutely loved babies. Shewould say they have little "rosebud mouths." She was very proud ofher high "American Indian" cheekbones. She was a strong, outspokenwoman who always stuck up for her kids. I'm sure, from the stories shetold, this was a trait she had gotten from her father.

Thelma married Herman Winfred Liles on 5 Oct 1940. Herman (son of William Thomas "Tom" Liles and Susan Langley) was born on 7 Nov 1918 in Coalfield, Morgan, Tennessee, United States; died on 19 Mar 1990 in Iredell, Brunswick, North Carolina, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
