Notes |
- Marshall 0248B - Gedcom from Larry Shelton.
Tuberculosis was very prevalent even in the early 1900's. Aunt Opal was ill
for many years before she passed away. I can remember vaguely my Mother
taking care of her and taking me with her. Her daughter Celia Faye and I were
the same age, approximately 4 years old, and she and I would play together.
My mother really grieved over the death of her sister and her two little girls. Times were so hard and "The Great Depression" made it impossible to locate them. I talk by telephone to Irene occasionally and she tells me how hard it was on her and Celia to be taken away from the people they loved after their mother died.
