Excerpts from a letter by Anna Swann Sisk dated 5/8/98: "Mother was a
slender lady when she md aprox 100-110 lbs--was about 5'6". She had
auurn hair that had never been cut When she sat in a chair it touched the
floor. . . She grieved the loss of Grady the balance of her life. Beulah her
cousin went with her and Uncle Harry to Bristow OK for them to marry.
Grady left on a train immediately afte the wedding. His reason for such
a quick ceremony was that he wante to name mother on his insurance
since he had no family.
"Mother was very hospitable. We always had company. I remember one
man (a preacher) came pretty often. He never helped with anything. He
bought a new suit and asked mother to do some alterations. She sewed a
large white button on the seat of his pants. He wore them to church not
knowing about it. She was an expert seamstress. Could see a picture
and copy it with a garment. She was strong on discipline. Mary and I
never got by with anything. Also a Mrs. Clean. Her home was spotless
and so were we. She was very active in her church and was loved by the
people there."
