Mable was the last of her generation as she outlived all of her four brothers and two sisters and their spouses and even about one third of her nieces and nephews. She was the quintessential country girl who moved to the city. She grew up on her parents' farm outside Carrollton, Georgia, where her father, Leon Muse, owned a sawmill and drove the school bus at different times in conjunction with the home farm, and her mother raised chickens for eggs and trade. The kids, especially the girls, picked cotton, competing to see who could pick more, but Mable said this was a painful chore, as the cotton bolls pricked their fingers.
