One of Lila's granddaughters reported the following story: "Lila was so tired of all the sickness and trouble in Van Zandt County that, when they packed up to move to Oklahoma, she shook her fist and said 'Van Zandt County, I hope a tornado comes and blows you away!' That night a tornado came--but it blew their wagons and household goods back into Van Zandt County! Be careful what you ask for--you may get it!" [Jackye Plummer 2006]
