• Notes

  When Aunt Viola was about 45 years old she met and married a man from Denver?, Colorado. They were together for about one week-he went back to Denver-she remained working for the Government in Washington, D.C. My mother says he had a couple teenage or older children who may have interfered in some way. Mom doesn't remember his name, but in later years they corresponded frequently with each other. Aunt Viola spent her last years in the nursing home at Franklin, WVa. In the fall of 1985 they had a huge flood in Pendleton County. We were back in WVa. the following June. Picking up Aunt Viola, we took her up the Thorn to the "old home place'. As we went up the Thorn in our little motorhome Aunt Viola looked out the window and commented about 'having a big flood in this place'. When I pointed out the old home place she watched and said' My no, this is not where I was born-the land was all cleared on both sides of the road". She couldn't understand that someone had let the brush grow (Dad and Bob), and that WVa. reclaims her own!! JHA 3/2001. This from the files of Janice L.
