You have such an interesting site. Your story of your ancestors was fun to read. My great grandmother was lying in bed in a dark room and to a 7 year old who kept walking infront of her room hoping to meet her. Saw her hard working country like finger waving me in her dark room. By peoples (her kids) stories that she should stay in bed she’s old. Well, today 50 years later I wished I had.
My great grandmother , doctor told my mother, if only her children would let her get up and walk around exercise, she could have another 3 to 5 years of life.
She died 3 months after that almost meeting between great grandmother and great granddaughter.
She too was a hard working farmer’s wife who in “the pioneer times “ was married at 12 years old (🤦♀️)and had (they say ) the kindest soft spoken husband. And they had 24 children.yes , you read well 24. No twins!! OUCH comes to mind.
She died of natural causes at the age of 99 years old and 11months.
She had lots of lard cooking that was so tasty.!!
