~~~~~~~~~~~ From: "Alta Rockwell" To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Dollie's Recipes Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 21:48:42 -0400 Laura is Doris's mother, Laura Dillisten Florance married to Uncle Deek. Mrs. Simmons is Dolores's Gramma. Her Mom was Lulu Simmons Mrs. Wheeler is Clair's Mom. Her first name was Nina. Mabel Kelley was a dear neighbor up the hill toward Watkins on the PreEmption Rd. Eleanor did housework for them when they got old, she used to make a lot of strawberry shortcakes for them. Ask her about that sometime. They had a nice farm and house about 2 miles from us on same side of Rd. Ruth Seybolt and hubby married the same time your Grandma and Grandpa Rose did and both celebrated 50th Anniversaries. Just good friends from around Altay. Their kids went to school the same time all us kids did. Nina is Nina Wheeler, Clair's Mom. A dear chubby lady who enjoyed cooking and baking. We ate many dinners in their home when all of the kids were young. Emma was called Aunt Emma, probably Gramma's great Aunt. Corda was Corda Moon, Grandpa Florance's relation. Lydia Moon and Roy Emerson relation. Mrs. Eleanor Coon bought Mrs. Dilisten's house next to our one room schoolhouse. Fred was her husband and they had 3 daughters. Nice neighbors, they came to our wedding. girls were teenagers then. Em was probably Aunt Emma again. Mrs. Dilliston was Doris's Gramma. We have pictures of her with Gramma Florance in their bathing suites near Seneca Lake cottage. Clara was Aunt Laura's sister, a Dillisten she married a Harris. John Harris is her son {he is visiting Doris this summer /new wife. Lydia Moon never married{Grandpa Florance relation}.She lived in Branchport and always brought beautiful flowers from her garden when she came to visit. Mother Florance of course would be Grandpa's Mom Mrs. Bigelow was a neighbor in Dundee, right across the street {Hollister} Laura Symonds was Claudia and Clarissa's Mom. They had a big tomato farm on the main road into Dundee. Great neighbors. I spent many overnights with the girls in their home. I miss Clarissa now {Eleanor and I went to her funeral in Dundee}. Claudia phoned last week to tell me that Roy Anderson's wife, Maxine had died. she had Alzheimer’s and was in Montour nursing home. Don't know the others, have heard their names. Maybe Doris or Eleanor can help. Love, Mom
