Peanut Cake Recipes

Kim,
There are two recipes, the first one is probably the one she made the most.  When I get back from Auburn I will try this one out. Let me know if you do.

This was a winner of the National Peanut Festival Oct. 1953 Mrs. Robert Gwaltney of Dothan. Sounds delicious!

Both of these recipes look like they were used many many times. I remember Granny's peanut cake being absolutely wonderful!

Allie B.'s Children


This is Henry with all of his children Eddie Lee, Eunice, Louise, Luvern, seated Betty Jean, Henry and Bonnie
Allie B. and Luvern

I found a negative stuck in the side of a box and had it developed.  Turned out to be the only picture I have ever seen of Henry and Allie B. together. I don't have it here with me now but I will get it on here soon.
I never met Allie B. I knew Henry though we went to Ruskin, Fl. close to the Tampa,  to visit him several times and he came to visit us at our house at Big Creek and at Granny's. He raised minature Shetland Ponies at his house in Ruskin. His brother Houston raised tomatoes in Homestead.

This looks like Aunt Eunice

This is definitely Eunice in front of orange tree.
This is Aunt Eunice with daughter Nioka. It looks like her house in Bib City, outside of Columbus.

Eunice not sure if its Eddie Lee or Perry Lawrence her husband, Nioka's father but I think it's Eddie.

My Granny, Luvern and Nioka in Granny's living room on Cottonwood Highway.  You can see a picture of Aunt Betty on the book shelf.  I have that bookshelf. Bob made it in High School Shop.
Aunt Bonnie with Benny Wayne and Kims Dad, Ben Riley, and I think that's Bob on his lap.


Aunt Bonnie, or Granny? I don't know but I love this picture. The more I look at it it looks like Granny.

Aunt Bonnie....somebodies birthday.

Luvern, with the man I don't know, Aunt Betty left next to Granny and I don't know the other little girl. She may be Anderson's daugther.

I think this is Allie B. as a baby not sure though.

I may be wrong on some of these pictures and if I am please correct me!
