Son of Jared and and Mary Hall Brickey, the husband of Anna Virginia Anderson, and the father of Colie, Allie, William, Eula, Georgie, and Brrtie. He was a cattleman and a gambler. He had a way with animals and served as the community veterinarian.
Sometimes when he gambled, he used a wad of paper money as a plug for the moonshine bottle as it was passed around. At times the money disappeared. One night, when filled with moonshine he gambled away the farm. The next day, Bertie, Grannies younger sister, went, crying and pleading, and bought the farm back. Maybe, after that, the farm was in Bertie's name because "old dogs do not learn new tricks."
