Poem written by Ruby McDonald to Oliver Perry Laverty:
Dear Ollie Laverty give me your time,
Hope you are happy as happy can be,
I never can forget the 16th in the evening,
Every word is meant as is written there,
Now since I've told you how happy I am,
Xmas presents you said not to send you any,
What a pity it is, and it doesn't pay.
When I was born in 1932, my grandma Laverty was 49 years old. She would turn 50 later that year, so I would always look at grandma as simply being 50 years older than me - to keep track of "records and events". My mother was born in 1910, so to keep
Though she looked and acted "old", she had an amazing history of good health. She never experienced "any" childhood diseases - never even a common cold - ever! You could virtually say she was never "sick" a day of her life, not to be confused with
Grandma Mac (grandma's mother) was also "blessed" with good health, except for a broken hip late in life, and her senility problems the last 10 years or so until her death in 1949 at the age off 91. She was a "Huff" and from "good German stock"!
Grandma (Laverty) was a tiny little woman who walked as if she were a little bowlegged. She only wore long dresses with some kind of prints or patterns on them. She always looked like an old woman to me as far back as I can remember. Even in a
She didn't like many of the things young people did, like my mother "living with a man" without being married, my mother's divorce, and my mother "running around half-naked" in shorts in the summertime (if only she could have seen some '90's
Grandma's house was on the corner of 9th Street and Indiana - the church at 8th and Indiana. A short walk took you to almost any place you wanted to go downtown. Grandma never had a car of her own, and never learned to drive, but she was close to
When I first started living there that fall, I slept on the hard couch in the parlor, while my grandmothers each took one of the bedrooms. As time went on, I was given the back bedroom, while my grandmothers shared the front. You could always pick
I would live at grandma's through the school year from September, 1946, 'til school was out in the late spring of 1947. During that time, dad would visit me one time. My parents' divorce was final in October of 1946, and dad was ordered to pay $40 a
There were two other doors in grandma's house: one to the left side off the dining room, and a back door to the right through the kitchen. As we went out the back door, dad observed the perfectly positioned planks of wood laying on the ground just
Dad, always thinking, after getting permission from grandma, decided to kill two birds with one stone: he'd get rid of all that junk, and, at the same time, get rid of a definite hazard by filling up the abandoned well with the junk. We worked for
"Life", is always a constant "test", and a constant challenge, not necessarily merely "a walk in the park". How a person meets these tests and challenges along the way (especially early on), will most likely become the ultimate "glue" that later
