My dad
told me stories
about his grandma. (Granny Hastings? -
Ellen Adams?)
She was crippled in a train crash and was in a cane wheel
chair for many years. She lived with
Elizabeth & family. (Elizabeth's sister,
Emily?? also lived with them). Dad, and, I
presume, the other brothers, would push her
in the chair down the road. Dad said she
gave him money to buy beers for her.
Dad told the story about the
undertakers who came to their house
(Grandma lived with them) and he heard them
say "We will have to break them", meaning
her legs, to put her into the coffin."
Dad seemed quite fond of her. |
