Most of the pictures on this page were given to me by Sue Beach, Pearl's grand-daughter, whom I  met online.


The two Butler photos were given by Peggy Brock, our half cousin.

The photo of Mary Ann and Jack, cir 1903, was given to me years ago by my grandfather, Lura's husband. It was my only photo of G-Grandma.

Since my grandma died when my dad was five, I always called Mary Ann Grandma, like Daddy.

1951
My parents divorced in 1950, they never told me that she had died and when I asked about her, they changed the subject. I was about 10. When I reached my teens, they told me. I have always missed her.

Children feel much more than their parents sometimes give them credit for.
