General Notes: Info and note from wife, Carol:

Gene's birth mother, Ella Susan Hicks Hatcher, was married to Green Madison Hatcher, a brother of his adoptive father John. Before Gene was born his mother had asked Flaudie Lammon Hatcher to promise to take care of Gene if anything happened to her. Ella died the day after giving birth to Gene.

So it was by mutual agreement that John and Flaudie adopted him. Gene did not have much contact with his birth family until much later in this life. He married Carol Joyce Forbus August 9, 1952, in Tarrant, Jefferson Co., Alabama. They lived in Birmingham, Scottsboro, and Huntsville, Alabama, before moving to Taylors, SC.
