In his memoirs, Willie Green McKeown remembered Cora with the followinganecdotes:
"When I was six months old, my aunt Cora was teaching school. Shecame by our house one day and held me in her lap. The next morning, shewas broken out with measles. In about one week, I was broken out withmeasles. . .
Later Cora and Green Garner were married. Green was a cowboy. Hewent up the trail with cattle, and Cora would stay at Grandma's at nightand I'd go over to her house. In the daytime, I would go (to school)with her and ride the old white horse you have seen in a school picture.Cora was the teacher.
One day she was churning and something happened to her hen andlittle chicks. She told me to watch the dogs. I did. One of themlicked out of the top of the churn. She came back and said, 'I told youto watch those dogs.' I said, 'I watched one of them lick out of thechurn.' It made her mad, but when we got home, she laughed and told Papwhat I said.
Cora was my teacher . . . me and a little Bohemian were sitting onthe same bench in back of school. A dirt dauber was fixing his nest outof mud. He would come in a crack in the board wall. He would go up tothe top of the building and would make a fuss. It sounded like he wassaying, 'Yang, yang, ya!' We would get to laughing. Cora came back andgot after us and went back to her desk. I would not laugh any more, butI would make the Bohemian laugh. Cora came back and was about to switchhim. I told her I made him laugh. She said, 'You had better get yourlessons, or I will get you,' but she did not."
